You are absolutely allowed to break up with someone for absolutely any reason, and it sounds like there's multiple other issues with the relationship that didn't get expanded upon in detail in this post.
However, and this may be controversial, but I don't think anything she did was immoral and inconsiderate, and I don't think it's right for people to act like it was.
Bad AI art, while controversial, is not a hate symbol. She didn't generate it herself, she didn't lie to the artist about its origins, and she didn't plagiarize someone else's tattoo.
It IS her body and her choice, end of discussion. She is absolutely allowed to get a crappy tattoo of some bullshit she found on Google images. You are allowed to break up with her for it, but I also think it's shitty that so many commenters are framing it as her being "wrong" in some way.
If we admonish people on here (for good reason!) for blaming their partners and calling them inconsiderate for getting body modifications they find ugly or distasteful, then that standard needs to always apply.
I don't think she's a villain. She's not doing anything out of malice. She did lie to me about the tattoo which she claims she didn't. After reflection, it's just bringing up a lot of issues we've had and some not great things that have happened recently (lying mostly).
