I think the moral of the story here is -
Relationships: Temporary
Tatoos: Permanent
Proceed accordingly.

 Girl, you should remove your tatt. Tatting each other's name on your body is bad luck. Haven't you heard? Trust AND Believe, I know. My sister's 3 year relationship with her BF was alright. Everyone thought they were gonna put their relationship on lockdown. Unfortunatly, her punk a^^ of a BF up AND left (with her name tatted on his left arm in bold letters) because she wouldn't do his papers AND s^^^. Anways, you should remove your tatt. You just might fall in love with another dude AND he DEF. wouldn't want to keep seeing your EX's name tatted on your thigh. You wouldn't like it either if you saw the one you fell in love with, have a tatt of his EX's girlfriends name on his body. Right? #Something to Think About ! :)

never mind what he says, he will surely get it lasered off or covered soon enough. this is about YOU now, not him. I would definitely get rid of it, and make sure to never make this mistake again as getting tattoos of peoples names is a BIG mistake except with family members. good luck

 This is something thats up to u, I can see where ur ex is coming from, personally I would keep it as its memories but people in the future will ask questions and its all about wether u want to explain it or not. As I say its up to u and only u can make the decision but good luck whatever u decide to do :)

 get it covered. I had a tatt done when I was married and we broke up and I don't have his name but I have a picture that alludes to him and my current fiance has asked me to cover it...
it's been stressful for us trying to find a tatt artist that is good at covers....
better for you to cover it now...
and now we both know why we don't put tatts of people on our bodies...

 It's all with what YOU want to do. Don't worry about what your ex says. He could claim now he will always keep in then have a new girl down the road demand he get rid of it and he could. If you don't want to always see your ex's name then cover it. I would cover it. My sister has a very large tattoo of an ex all around her midsection. Says my love forever Herbert or something. She, much like your ex, claimed she would never remove it as it is a memory. Well that's changed and now she has attempted to have it laser removed but cant and it is far too large to be covered without completely taking over her stomach. Some guys she has dated weren't too happy with it. But again it is up to you if you always want his name on your body. You can have memories of him without having a tattoo for the rest of your life of his name.

 Tattoo etiquette.
Being the resident flatulent fossil, I'm mostly here to add to the popularity of this post so more people will read it before they invest in ink.
I have no Idea what the proper etiquette is for names after breakup. I would say that if you don't feel comfortable with the thought of the next partner seeing someone else's tag on your thigh, then get it covered. As for him carrying you over his heart, that is going to hurt someones feelings some day.
If you need to keep mementos of your ex's I'd suggest you use an old shoebox. That has served me well over the years.
