I may see her this weekend, as there's this annoying family dinner where my girl has to be as well and I'm joining her so she isn't bored to death (yes, she wears the pants). I'll probably ask tattoogirl some questions about her motives, probably bust her balls a little bit as well. We'll see
I can understand her father's anger--there's nothing worse than being linked forever--even symbolically--to an ex-wife. Had she carved that on a tree, he'd likely have cut down the whole forest just to be sure to get the right one. Personally I think he should lock her in her room with packages of course-grit sandpaper and tell her she's not coming out until that tattoo is gone!
