What are your thoughts on having your partners name tattooed on you?

Question

If your partner asked you to would you? What would the circumstances need to be? If you have, any regrets?

Miristheiss · Accepted Answer

I hate ALL tattoos.

ALL tattoos.

The name of someone else? That has got to be the most idiotic. Keep a picture of them on your desk or on the wall of your place. Don't brand their name on your body. I've seen lots of Reddit stories of relationships that break up over some new guy who doesn't want the girl because she has some other guys name on her body. Even some dead husband that she chose to immortalize by branding herself with his name. No matter. Only a fool would be with her.

Tattoos to honor some person has got to be the most idiotic thing to do.

If I die... it DISHONORS me if my daughter tattoos herself. That does me no honor. I'd hate that. Just talk fondly of me with friends and family, keep a picture of me around. Don't debase your body with ink and uses me as the reasoning.

When my son was 16 years old he asked me if he could have a tattoo. And I said yeah sure.. But not until you turn 18.

He had his little reaction and it passed. He's a fireman and paramedic now. And the 23 he said that thank you for making me wait until I was 18 to get a tattoo.. if I would have got one I would hate it right now.

I said yeah I know

I have once thought about it I would be able to do something like. All depends if we both wanted to get the names tattooed on each other bodies first and then go from there.

Yeah, worrying about if the relationship is going to work out long term is something to definitely think about and make sure you’ll be okay if it doesn’t. It’s like having two people getting married and then both decide to instead of getting rings why not getting tattooed rings to symbolize their love? Obviously not all marriages work out, if they do divorce then they would need to get rid of the tattoo ring.

Twincapersredmomma · Accepted Answer

I have my husband’s name, it’s my only tattoo.

I got it about 9 years ago, we are still together but going through a massive rough patch, we might get divorced

So do I regret it? Yes and no. I regret that it’s not the best looking tattoo because the artist wasn’t great. But do I regret getting it? No, that is how I felt at the time. I loved him with everything that I had, he’s the father of my children. I don’t regret marrying him or the tattoo, what it stands for to me.

Whether or not we stay together it will probably need to be lasered to lighten and then covered. No big deal.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Dumbest idea ever. If I had done that with every relationship that lasted six months or longer, I would have at least ten different girls' names tattoo'ed on my body.

Finchie40 · Answer

If you know you will be with them for the long haul then there is nothing wrong with it if you are both head over heels for each other , it if you feel the relationship will eventually end then don’t do it

kylee2437 · Answer

I am covered in tattoos and I would absolutely never. I never understood the idea of showing love through something like that, especially if it’s a toxic partner you are just supplying fuel to ego.

Bethany22 · Answer

No way! What if you ever break up! Plus, as your skin starts to sag, the letters might start to look like another guy's name.

AviatorTom · Answer

That's fine ... for now. But what happens if, sometime later, you have a different partner? Tattoos are not easy to erase.

Apple1996 · Answer

Great idea if you only plan on being with them. I would maybe get a tat of my husband's name

mortonc57 · Answer

No, b/c it would be super embarrassing to explain it to another girl.

An old girlfriend wanted names, but I talked her into getting symbols instead... she picked the symbol.

Which is why I have a giant Playboy bunny tattoo on my arm.

... which is even more super embarrassing to explain to another girl.

GOLDFISH_smile · Answer

My rule is 3 years & then I can get a tattoo of it. I only have 2 rn. My husband had a rule of if he can afford it and fit it on 1 arm, then he can get the tattoo, so he has a lot on that 1 arm & the rest of his body is blank. We decided on getting each other name tattoos in one more year, since he will have been going by his new name for 3 years at that point, and he is fine with getting my name even if I've only been going by it for 1–2 years.

ohmyguy · Answer

Well it's easy to. say any one unwilling to do go. to. this length is not that into. u.. or too willing they know something u don't...

Calling someones bluff when your equally laugh able.. for shame how easily our convictions fall apart from barely a shake.. hard to brush off such a solid sign of commitment.. I'd fall
For this no doubt... lol

IslaTheWitch · Answer

If the relationship has worked for some time already (years rather than months), and you are sure you won't regret it if something happens in the future, then why not?

DizzyDesii · Answer

Well considering most of my exes share the first same name, might come in handy… but i dont want any permanent markings on me

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Oh Hell nO!

Billlewis · Answer

There are several women on here who have been teasing me relentlessly, and eventually, I'll probably look into having one of them' initials tattooed on that ass (my ass), because they basically own it... lol

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I don't find it stupid, but it'd be a no for me. I don't deal well with pain and getting a tattoo isn't painless from what I know from people who have several tattoos. My sensitive skin wouldn't be able to handle it.

desidoll · Answer

I have tattoo of my husband’s name on my right thigh. No regret at all.

YesterdaysChild · Answer

Bad idea, especially when later you break up. I guess you could always date a guy with the same name though. 😑🙄

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I don't ever want to get anything tattooed on me.  Nothing at all.  Period.

Simslover92 · Answer

That's one of the worst decisions you can make. My mom and step dad got a tattoo of each other's names and now their separated.

WhereIsMyMind · Answer

No. Matching tattoos is alright, but getting their name on you? So stupid. It's just such an unnecessary thing.

Unit1 · Answer

Not happening.

NewgodOmega · Answer

exitseven · Answer

I have suggested this before,. My wife knows that I hate needles so she always says "You go first.:"

Potteplante · Answer

I accidentally clicked maybe and have to make clear - absolutely not.

Carina0 · Answer

My dad's wife got a tattoo on her breast for him. I never thought it was a good idea, but in a way it's a nice gesture if we don't get caught up in the negativity.

rigmarole · Answer

I'd think she was retarded if she asked me that.

love_conquers_lust · Answer

Nope. Why cover up our assets? Or get a semipermanent tattoo. Then you can start over with a new canvas.

Pyxel · Answer

No, unless we're gonna marry and live forever which is no, I will do it otherwise no. I don't want to be tied to someone till I de.

Tim2nice · Answer

I don’t do tattoos so that’s a flat refusal for me.

Anonymous · Answer

Never gonna happen. One of my exes asked me if he could tattoo my name on him, he was so disappointed when i said no. He’s probably glad i said no now lol.

Thumper2thump · Answer

Relationships come and go. suck to have to cover it

Anonymous · Answer

i would never. plus, there are other better tattoos to get

genericname85 · Answer

probably the single most dumbest tattoo you can ever get.

Dantezam · Answer

I'd agree to matching tattoos like king and queen crowns or something custom but the name itself not likely

jeffend888 · Answer

The fact that this is even a question is fascinating to me, especially at your age.

Anonymous · Answer

Pretty stupid because nobody ever lasts especially younger relationships, then you’ll need to find someone with the same name, tattoo removal isn’t that good either

jahaims · Answer

Cringe unless it is something like a memorial piece

Sparkie460 · Answer

Super bad idea. What do you do with it if something happens and you break up.

Anonymous · Answer

Always a bad idea. You never know what the future holds, and tattoos are very difficult to remove.

Charliefretz329 · Answer

I’d get one on my manhood. If we break up it can simply be burned 🔥 off… easy

Tomisworthless · Answer

Foolish and its another expense to remove once that commitment fails

Guido · Answer

Never. Things change and it's one of the dumbest things to do.

Yellovv · Answer

Stupid idea ever, let's say you have done that tattoo and your relationship is getting over after couple of months what you can do after that?
