Sure, why not? I want to get a tattoo some day and in my mind I think that, even if things don't work out with your partner, you will still have a nice looking tattoo.
I see why some people may not like the idea of it, since tattoos are permanent, but you can have a tattoo done over a old one, you can also have a tattoo that incorporates the existing design into a new one, so it isn't like you can never make something better out of it.
But even then, if it gives you bad memories when you look at it, then get counselling.
But this is only assuming it all goes bad, if it goes well and you continue being in a relationship, why wouldn't you?
Matching? No... But I did get a set. My x at the time has a few tats and she teased me to get one. So eventually I caved and he got tattoos that go together but weren't there same thing. That way that even the relationship failed the tattoo could have meaning on its own...
We got tattoos from the show "seven deadly sins" I got a fox tattoo on my side and she got a bear tattoo on her calf.
She there a set and we shared that. But not that were not together it still has meaning other then just her
Maybe it's my trust issues speaking, but I wouldn't want a permanent reminder of any romantic partner. Maybe if mine dies of old age (yes I'd be an old lady in a tattoo parlour), I'd get one, but otherwise no.
Tattoos for me are strictly personal. For me, any ink I get will be for me only. The only tats I want that will remind me of other living beings I have had any kind of relationship with will be a trail of paw marks up my calf representing all the pets I've had in my life.
As much as I love my partner, they already have my heart. They don't need a mark on my flesh as well.
Only if we were married and if it was something small, that can easily be covered, and can’t be seen unless I’m at the beach or something haha. but I think a really small design that’s significant to the relationship is really cute.
Of course a tattoo can be covered up or even lasered off I have a friend that has like 4 or 5 blacked out names on his arm one right under the other with his latest love at the bottom not blacked out. Tattoos are supposed to be forever but there's no guarantee on a relationship. Why jinx it by getting matching ink save that for your kids but that's just my opinion which only matters to me so do you it's your skin just give plenty of thought so you don't just have a reminder of the one that broke your heart
Personally, I wouldn't. I mean, we like similar styles so we could potentially get similar tattoos but that'd just be because that's to our taste. I wouldn't want to get something that's actually matching because you never know what might happen. Plus, it's just kinda... cheesy.
I would want to. I've always believed in the idea of dual partnerships, filling each other's halves, balancing one another out and the concept of monogamy.
But my trust in people has been practically eradicated over the years and essentially my views on relationship goals are unrealistic and fantasy at this point.
I once on a drunken night out agreed to get a tattoo with a partner in the morning, we woke up the next day and rather than get tattoos brought goldfish as an alternative to showing commitment to each other (even as I type this, it makes no sense, but welcome into how my 19 year old head worked!). By the way the Goldfish outlasted our relationship almost as much as a tattoo would of done lol
The only reason I said no is you include names in the question. There's a reason why tattoo artist will recommend something else and hate doing them. 9/10 times an artist tats a name on someone that person comes back for a cover up which if you had listened they wouldn't have to do seeing as cover ups are the hardest
I totally would. It would have to be after we were married of course. But I had the idea of me getting my boyfriend's sign (Leo) tattooed on me and my boyfriend getting my sign (Scorpio) tattooed on him. I think that would be cute.

I dated a guy who had his recent exes name tattooed on him. I came to think that I was just a rebound to him, but even after all these years and multiple girlfriends the exes name is and will always be there unless he covers it up or gets it removed. I’m imagining that must be pretty stupid feeling for him because he has had like 3 girlfriends since him and the last one broke up. So I would never do something like that
Mam I won't do it, just to prove that someone is together they should not do such thing, it should be for your own self. If both of them honestly wish to do this then it's fine, but not accept it just to make other one happy.
If we've been dating a while and things go well, then the chances are increased, but I'm not wild about tattoos on myself, at least not anything permanent.
I would but not the name. Names are always a bad idea.
