You should only ever get a tattoo if you really want one for yourself. I have two, but I thought long and hard about it for years before going ahead with it. Although they say they can be removed by laser treatment, this is not always the case and there are a number of colors that can't be broken down. Not so easy to remove then if needed.
Personally I don't like the idea of getting your partner's name tattooed on yourself. As nautica said, what happens then if you split up?. Can't always date someone with the same name ;-)
And not that I'm saying this is true in your case, but your partner should never bully you into a tattoo either. It's something that'll be with you for life, so make sure it's something you really want for yourself, that you can look at in years to come and still like.
DON'T. I agree with you, it's a bad idea. Don't ever get initials or ANYTHING that represents a living human being. Things can always change. There is the possibility of getting it covered or removed. But removal is very very painful.
I got one with my ex-best friend. We didn't do matching ones or anything, we didn't even get them in the same spot on our bodies. Even though it has nothing to do with her, it still reminds me of her sometimes, and we're not friends anymore :( So definitely think twice.
Well if your going to tattoo some guys name on your body what will happen if things didn't work out? Then you will go out with a guy who really like you but you have some other guys name on your arm. Same goes for the guys. My husband has some other woman name on this body and he is going to black the name out. Now his arm will have a black box. What a nice tattoo don't you think? Just kidding is going to look bad.
This is exactly why I would never but a girlfriend or wifes name on my body for sure reasons like this, only names I would put are my kids and just maybe family members. Yeah I have a tattoo on my left shoulder of the letter M but that's only because of my first initial, and if I want it to ill have it stand for whatever I want that starts with the same letter lol.
By the way its in my pix if anybody wants to see it.
When I was in loved with my ex I had her name tat on my chest.
Now she is history, many ask me am I regret of it. NO. It is part of my life.
But I will not do that again.

If I had a twin, I don't think I'd mind, but that's different. But not a significant other. And we would split an image so that I have one tattoo of a smaller image and so would the twin, and when you put the two different ones together, you get a big picture, like the sad/happy face thing you always see. But not that tattoo, eww, something cooler.
It's so not worth it. I have too many mates who have had their partners names on their bodies, only to split up. Unless you want to restrict yourself to only dating "Dave"'s , then it's probably not the best thing to do, even if you think it will be forever.
To compromise, perhaps get a tattoo that reminds you of the other person, like a good time you had together, but no names or faces!
Totally stupid. I have a friend Sarah who got her boyfriends name tattooed right above her hoo hoo. They broke up right after. Her husband has to see it every time they. I would never scar my body for a man. Except having a baby.
