my ex and i did a matching tattoo of our anniversary date in roman numerals on our 5th yr anniversary. we broke up on the 7th year.
do i regret it? no. but i do sometimes wished i didn't do it.
did he regret it? (i asked). no he does not.
i think the reason why we both didn't regret it was because the rs actually meant something to us even tho it didn't work out.
i see tattoo as art on the body. a story of my life. so im cool with it. and even getting new ones with my current boyfriend (if he was ever interested). but id make sure we've past minimum 3 years together.
fyi, my current boyfriend like to joke that he wld love to have my tattoo (the ex tattoo) plastered so he doesn't have to see it. so i guess depending on future partners (if things didn't work out) they might be affected by it.
good luck!
but ps. the pic of that tattoo. i dont think it wld look good on a man. its too feminine i think!
I don't like tattoos on my skin, so I wouldn't get one. Couples who get matching tattoos think they're gonna be together forever... and some of them do, but a lot of them break them. Then they're left with a tattoo to remind them of their ex.
If you're gonna do it, then get a temporary one. Your friends will still think it's cute that you got tattoos together, but you don't regret it later if you find yourself hating it for whatever reason. Don't go all out and get permanent matching tattoos at 16 lol.
Also for god's sake don't get your partner's name tattooed on your body. Or their initials or something like that. Make it something that isn't about them. I don't care for tattoos myself, but I think the flower ones (if that's what they are) look kinda nice.
Only if I am married and something related to our family (kids)
So even if we do ever breakup, we still have something of super value that joins us and it s our kids so the tattoos are a reminder of our commitment and responsibility.
Couple tattoos if they're nice looking, I wouldn't mind getting one, but that's like after we've been together for 20-50yrs.
I wouldn't get one with a girlfriend, I ideally wouldn't even get one with a new wife tbh.
I would only get one with someone I've been with and loved for a very very long time.
I would never advise anyone to get one with a partner in an untested and comparatively young relationship but if ever you decide to go ahead with it, make sure you get a tattoo (design and placement) that can easily be covered up, that's what cover ups are for, Ex tattoos, among other things. I'm not saying your relationship wouldn't last but you should err on the side of caution.
You don't want to end up like Kevin Dillon on How to be a Gentleman
It's a cute idea I suppose, but I'd have to decline. It's not for lack of meaning, or the size of the tattoo that bothers me-- it's the tattoo itself. I don't particularly want a tattoo. If I got bored of it, or annoyed with it, or found something I didn't like with it, I'd be stuck. It's not the partner/SO's fault-- I wouldn't get a tattoo regardless.
I don't mind the look of em. Heck, I've been around enough metalheads that I'm used to tattoos + piercings and such. It's just not for me 😅
I like artwork permanently on paper, not on my body.

u How long do you think he will be your boyfriend? At your age, the average for a serious relationship is 3-4 months.
That is definitely one way to JINX a relationship! Rings can come off.. tattoos are for life. (unless you want to burn them off) LOL
First of all I'm not into getting a tattoo. It costs money, is painful to get and is permanent. I thinks most tattoos would look better on a canvas, paper or a wall for instance since the drawings are nice, but it won't look good at the skin after you've aged and hit 80.
Since it's permanent, it's hard to remove and if you finds out your partner isn't the right one; something that makes you break up, it wouldn't be fun to have a matching tattoo as them or have their names tattooed. You may regret and don't want to be reminded all the times.
No. I don't believe in eternal love. Even in a long term marriage it can end bitterly because a person changes. I believe in working hard to maintain a marriage, but such attitude doesn't go with the "I'll always be here" kind of promise. The only thing I can promise a man is that I'll try to the maximum.
Absolutely not. My boyfriend has asked me several times for us to get matching tattoos and I've always said no. It's not that I don't love him, I do, I just think drawing on yourself is stupid. I drew on myself when I was five; I'm not drawing on myself at 22.
If i broke up with my partner, i wouldn't keep anything that reminded me of him. Especially if it were an emotional breakup n painful.
But you can't get rid of a tattoo, it would simply serve as an eternal reminder of what you lost.
No matching tats.
Bad idea. Even if it isn't their name or something that is specific to them, every time you look at it you will think of them (even if it's a small flower). There might be a time in your life when you do not want to think of them. The only people I would get tattoos for are my children and parents. Not even my spouse. The love for your parents and children is forever. Even love for a spouse is not always permanent.
No, I would never. I think it's kind of silly and risky to get a matching tattoo with a partner, especially since most young relationships don't last. It would be awkward as hell to have a matching tattoo with an ex and overall, I just don't see the point.
That's far to great a risk if we break up. I'm considering getting a tattoo later in life but I would not expect my partner to get it too. That's just stupid in my opinion.
we actually are getting matching tattoos. We're both getting a small "J" on our hands. Because both our names start with J.
I know couple tattoos are never the smartest but "J" also has another meaning to me because it was my sisters initial to. so even if we break up, it still means something
if you said he was your husband, I would say go for it. But if he's just your boyfriend, hell no. Do not get a matching tattoo with your partner unless you are committed fully. I have a tattoo on my wrist with my husband's initials, and we are planning on getting matching tattoos in the future, but we are married. I would not have gotten one before
Fuck no. Why? Because it would look stupid with a story behind it I'd rather forget if/when we eventually broke up. Removing those is expensive and sometimes leaves a scar worse than the tattoo.
there are plenty of options. you have temporary tattoos. you could get a very small one, so it wouldn't cost a fortune removing it or getting a new one.
either you haven't found anyone you would want to do that with, or you just simply dont like that idea. which is cool, because i asked, because everyones opinion is different. so thank you for sharimg yours.
I would do it. We both have tattoos already and it just doesn't seem like such a huge thing to me. I wouldn't get his name tattooed on me, but I would go for something that means something to us.
thank you for reply ❤
If the goal is to get something that you both love and you both share for yourselves, sure, do what you will with your own bodies, however, like the picture, if you're going to be "those people" who stand together, and show everyone at every party how your matching tattoos align, or endlessly talk about how you both got the same tattoo... ugh... that's right up there with matching outfits.
Maybe if we're married and are still together in forty years, yes. You're young and relationships are most likely to end soon. I wouldn't do it. Plus, you need your parents consent to even get a tattoo by law for your age.
1. i neder said 100% i will get one.
2. like i wrote to another here, i would get one after a few years of seeing how the relationship went on.
3. do not tell other people their relationship will likely end soon. you have no knowledge of our relationship, and you are the type of person people most likely dont like because you think you know everything.
it would have been enough writing no, and why you wouldn't. dont say anything about me, nor the laws of getting tattoos.
1. I never said you were going to, but you said you've been considering getting one with your boyfriend.
2. Say that in the description then. I don't look in the comments of posts that much.
3. I said that because most relationships do end in high school. It's called reality.
4. Don't get mad at someone when you asked for their opinion. If you can't handle it then don't ask questions on here.
Maybe if it was a wedding day tattoo... to honor that day.
Dating... LOL... just something to regret later.
Birth of our kids might be another one to tattoo... with their "baby foot prints"/date.
I think that many people do this kind of thing because they think that it will seal their relationship or that is only going to make it stronger. But trust me, there's nothing you are going to regret more than something that is going to permanently be on your body and that will constantly remind you of that dickhead you broke up with...
um i might get one depending on what it is and if we are married or not i would not get one with a boyfriend just do to the vary likely break up
i "like" every opinion. i asked a questions, and when people reply i have to thank them in some way, even if its not really what i want to hear.
If I was forced to, I would get a small one with no hints to us being in a relationship (i. e. dates). They would just be matching, so I wouldn't regret it if we broke up. I wouldn't ever get a tattoo in the first place though haha.
Ehh, I wouldn't get the exact same tattoo. I'd maybe get a dog tattoo if he got a cat tattoo (but mostly cause I kinda want a dog tattoo anyway), but I think generally, I'd avoid getting a matching tattoo.
I would never do that and neither would my husband (and he has tattoos). It's pretty much the kiss of death for a relationship - name tattoos, wedding ring tattoos, matching tats, etc.
Never had a tattoo, and I would never ever get one, it's just not something I'd really want or is into.
Im not into tattoos or couple tattoos but if i ever did, we'd both get "Des" somewhere on our body since thats my nickname and the nickname of over 60% of guys in my past 😂🙈
No. That's stupid. Then you're stuck with the tat after she starts fucking someone else because he made her pussy tingle.
That's tacky, in my opinion. I would never tattoo someones name on me
Lol even though I don't have a boyfriend... not a chance in hell. That would be the most stupid thing I could ever do.
I don't want any tattoos but I would consider getting matching wedding ring tattoos. My dad and step mom have them and it's pretty sweet.
no i wouldn't because if the relationship were to end badly, id only have a permanent inked on memory of the guy. if it were after marriage where the relationship is more stable, maybe, but not a big one
For you I would say it's pretty dumb because 99% of high school relationships don't ever last. I would with my wife when I have on if it's something we both want. I'd never ask for it though.
I am against tattoos in general and it's quite childish anyway.
Who knows if I'll still love them some years from now? I'd only get matching tattoos with my parents or my children.
I *did* get a largish tattoo with my girlfriend... She wanted us to get matching Playboy bunnies, but her's was small on her hip, but mine was put on my upper arm, and to make it proportionate, was about 5 inches tall.
I think I would go B - A small subtle one mainly for yourselves
I would get a related one but not an identical one ie: sun and moon or flower and bee
Perhaps but I'd make sure the relationship is very solid.
I have few
If that's you, you're running out of room. lol
Only if we'd been married for 10+ years and I would probably get something do with our kids?
No because I'm not getting a tattoo and neither is her.
I feel like if you do that your jinxing the relationship in some way then if you guys break up your stuck with the matching tattoos
but really its the same with best friends getting matching tattoos. if i were to get one, first id wait a few years to see how well the relationship was going, and id only get a small one. so that its not the end of the world if something went wrong in the relationship..
I guess you have a point there but I feel like it's just different between best friends and couples. You know what I mean but I have never been in relationship so ai wouldn't know. I guess a small one is ok cause then it can easily be covered by a new tattoo
if it is someone you can see yourself spending the rest of your life with, like i am now. i think it would be really cute and a good thing to get a matching one.
I don't want any tattoos and would greatly prefer she feels the same.
If I had to get a couple tattoo, I'd get one that simply reminds me of him but would stand alone by itself, rather than one that needs it's match.
I would get a couple tattoo. I would even get his name. But sadly he dumped me lol 😭😂 (my fault) . I love tattoos
No that is like marking your property so I think it's weird.
I don't like tattoos of any kind.
Trust me tattoos are going out of style soon.
This can be done only if you are going to live with your partner for while life. But if you have more than 1 partners or married many times then this ideas are worthless.
No. Why should I get a matching tattoo with someone I will probably break up after a year or two at best? I don't like being that much of an idiot.
Nope. I am my own person and she should be her own person too.
Tattoos are not safe for your health! Just google it!
no way in hell, I have nothing against tats but I'd have to have laser removal after the break up lmao
I think this is bad idea. I would not get a matching tattoo with a partner.
probably a stupid idea
"with a lot of meaning"
yeah and it will mean even more if you break up... and remember you forever at it.
That is a shitty tattoo for a dude. And its on his forearm. RIP
Voted other. The only tattoo (s) I would ever get are the ones of the name of my wife and kids.
Ha! The sentimental marking that's there for life
Once it's done it's done
thats the point 😂 but the thing with small tattoos. its easier to cover up a small tattoo with a new one, so its not necesarilly there for life 😝
No. BUT me and my friend have talked about getting matching tattoos.
Growing up in a tattoo studio, I know these types of tattoos work as jinks on the relationship.
Nope. I hate tattoos, and never liked the way they look on women.
I wouldn't, tattoos last longer than any relationship or marriage from what I've seen
Mom got tattoo. With her boyfriend he dumped. Her after they got engaged.
if it is something we both want, agree on, then hells yeah.
Perhaps get a matching tattoo if it can be easily changed from "Love you forever: to "Hate you forever" if the relationship ends badly.
