Would you ever get a matching TATTOO with your partner?

I hope no one is that stupid!

It tickles me when people do that, especially get names of their potential future exes on them. Because if things don't work out, now you're stuck with a constant reminder of said person, unless you get a tattoo removal- which is expensive and painful, lol

Get a piece of matching jewelry like a ring instead: your wallet and body will thank you.

[coachTanthony]

Good morning to you too. LOL

[Cynicaldreamer]

Grumble.

I have 22+ tattoos on my body and while I've never got an SO's name tattooed on my body ('cause I'm still waiting for her), I'd definitely do it and feel inclined to respond to this: Tattoos are difficult to laser off, yes.
However, going over them with a completely new design is actually simple to do and something that many people in the body art culture do frequently. So just because you get something you don't want doesn't mean that lasering off is the only option, so many people seem to think that, it's ridiculous.

[ArnKnightTemplar]

Why is it that most people's objection to this is more often about the commitment. I find it more objectionable that people are afraid to do these things because of potential future separation. It does not inspire trust in others of even of yourself. I still oppose tattooing though for other reasons. I'm just saying that it is sad that the reason most people oppose this indicates an underlying acknowledgement of being open to relationships with others in spite of your commitment. It indicates to me that most people today are embracing a culture of unfaithfulness. Very sad.

Real truth I have a good family friend that has a handful of ex’s names on his bicep that he just covered with a solid bar he’s got 3 bars all stacked one above the other and below them his wife’s name she hates it he thinks it’s funny I agree with him. That it’s funny not about getting SO’s name on me and I have several tats

[InventorofWarp]

Absolutely but then, I have 22+ designs across my body already from my knuckles to my back, chest, arms and neck.
I'd love to get matching tattoos with someone, put their name or face on my body.
You can always have the design redone with something new in the future, just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's permanent or only lasing will take it off, biggest bullshit misconceptions old people seem to think about it.

[TruthBringer]

FUCK NO. Not only am I against having a tattoo, I wouldn't be an idiot who ended up having a tattoo which serves as a constant reminder of a previous relationship (given the relationship ended like the majority of relationships out there). Avoidance if better than having to fix something.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah, that would be a no... The first time I saw a Tattoo instead of "wedding rings', thought that was pretty cool (harder to take ring off and lie about being single) till they divorced and can't take that tattoo off like they could a ring...

[coachTanthony]

True very True.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

She proposed to, but I'm not too sure. I don't like the idea of tattooing my skin.
The pattern would a Sun and Moon one, where I'm the Sun and she's the Moon. But I'd prefer to get matching jewelry with that theme, rather than tattoos.

[Grafev]

Thats cool
You are our shining sun

[OlderAndWiser]

Hell no! I'd just need to explain it to every other woman in the future, and explain why I didn't want to get a matching tattoo with each and every one of them.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

I'd be open to it, but my current partner is less a tattoo inclined person. He loves ink on others, but he's not really thought about getting ink himself.

I'd have a few conditions:
- no names
- easily coverable/removable
- a mutually decided design of significance (but also something that can stand for both of us independently)

This way, it's easily able to move on from the tattoo if we break up, and it's also (hopefully) tasteful.

[ughherewegoagain]

Absolutely, my honey and I got our wedding bands tattooed. It’s a very outward way of saying, this is the person I am spending my life with. It doesn’t come off ♥️

[Daniela1982]

So if you break up and want your wedding band off you will have to cut off your finger?

[ughherewegoagain]

The purpose of marriage is to stay married. There is no breaking up, we both work hard to keep each other happy. It’s not like my husband is just a fling lol. Suppose by some miracle we split, I still wouldn’t get rid of that ring. He has literally saved my life multiple times, he deserves to be honored for the very selfless time and energy he has put into helping me through the most difficult obstacles I’ve ever faced. I will always always always love him for the amazing person he is.

[Daniela1982]

Well I wish ou many happy years ahead. You sound like you have all your ducks in a row.

[Notanotherpurdyface]

For me it would depend very much on what and where. I would never agree to have a partners name or initials etc tattooed. But if you had a similar interest and decided to get something together I’d possibly be open to the idea because if you like something it’s likely that you’ll still like it even if you end up parting ways in the future.

[proNutro]

Yes.
Why? My mom and stepdad have a matching tattoo. I know they’ll never ever leave each other. If I have something like that then yeah I would do it.

[rjroy3]

Matching yes. Name no, unless it were well placed in an overall piece. Initials yes.

I've seen some good matching tattoos. More interesting would be having puzzle piece type tattoo that complete a picture. Like you get a tattoo on your right forearm, they get one on the left. Fire and Ice or some shit that blends or contrasts.

Something that by itself would look nice but actually mixes with someone else's tattoos. Those are cool in my opinion and I'd get one

[Glue-Sniffer]

No, sorry. I consider most tattoos to be a signature of the lower social classes. I am not necessarily talking about money alone.
I know it might sound harsh but that's what I think.

[bobalife]

Haha why not? I think that’d be cute if two people digs it and wanna make it symbolic to their love or something meaningful ☺️

[exitseven]

I have been discussing this very same thing with my wife. She is not very receptive however. I have been thinking about it for a while and I think it would be cool if we both had them.

[ChrisMaster69]

No not as such, however I have no problem incorporating an element in to mine of it fits and I like it.

[otaku_owl_91]

Pro tip for guys: if you and your special other agree to get matching tats, but she chickens out after you get yours, you're either getting cheated on, will be cheated on, or she'll simply just dump you 😗

[Daniela1982]

No, because the moment you break up you will be getting it removed so you don't remember that person every time you look in the mirror.

[hhadeshatesme]

No it’s just as naive as getting your partners name tattooed on you

[Azaelia]

A big no. What if we're not last longer, that tattoo will remind me of him

[pleasestopthis]

Such tattoos are permanent reminders of that particular person, something that would suck if the couple decides to break up.
I wouldn't do it.

[Citizenkirk]

If she will get matching necklaces with me😉

The old bomb and chain😅😂🤣😭

[FatherJack]

Even if I did have a partner , no never. You are much more likely to split , than stay together.

[kannettava]

Possibly, if it had another meaning to me as well and it was with a long time partner (10 years) who'll be a part of my life even after a breakup. I'm hesitant to get any tattoo, though.

[Jaspersuxx]

No absolutely not unless we had been together for years and it wasn't something like their name if it was just like we each had a flower somewhere then sure but no not names incase something happens between us I wouldn't want their name on me and i doubt they'd want my name on them either
