Should I have a tattoo of my girl riend's name?

It is considered unlucky to tattoo your girlfriend or boyfriend's name on your body. The issue about breaking up is key here. You can safely tattoo your mother's name on your body, because she will never change. However, girlfriends and wives come and go. The problem here, is that she will see the idea as a lack of commitment. So, the trick here is to handle this without seeming to be afraid of commitment. Has she, by any chance, gotten a tattoo of your name on her body? If not, then suggest that you don't like name-tattoos and wouldn't want her to put your name on her body either. To back this up, you can point out the idea of a 'tramp stamp.' Certain men who put women on the street to earn money in questionable ways will have the woman put a tattoo of their name on their bodies as a sort of proof of ownership. Therefore, you can voice reluctance to tattoo names on bodies -- hopefully without seeming afraid of commitment.

I have four tattoos, all my own artwork. I would never want to have a name as a tattoo, they never really look very good and can cause a lot of problems in the future.

Dont do that because if you break up with her,you need to fiind somebody else(the perfect person for you)and you fiind her and you will marry with her,how do you think she will fel when every day she need to see a strange name on you.Think about.

I say don't do it ! I am speaking from experience that it is a BADDDD move to do ! A few years ago, I got the name of someone i was almost sure that I was going to marry on my neck, and months after I got it, we broke up, and now me and him don't even speak to each other at all, actually he acts like as if we were never together in the first place. I'm just lucky that I didn't get it very big, so when I have my hair down you dont see it. I'm getting it covered up soon, I just have to figure out what I can put that will cover it

I think you have got the answer by yourself,If i were you i would not do that.Maybe you can tattoo something else that she likes very much as a replacement.

its bad luck man. i have my ex bf's name on the back of my neck. i had to get it covered up along time ago. now im married and regret that tattoo everyday.

i dont mean to be the devil's advocate but most of those i knew who had their partner's name tattooed in their body... in any part, most of them have already separated. :) he he that was not a joke. they're true. anyway im sure you won't be having the same problem.. but of course when you do that, have no regrets.

Never put a girls name on your body unless it is your mother's or your child's. You will always end up being asked about that relationship and what happened to it. My son put a name on his wrist and now regrets it, my other one, on his chest by his heart. Don't do it. I have never done this and I am happy for it, my ex had several girl's names on him and I would always have to look at them and always wonder if he was telling me the truth about them.

There's no reason for her to be insistent that you get a tattoo of her name on your body, if for no other reason than -hello-, it's -YOUR- body. If you wanted to tattoo her name on you, then that's one thing, but no one should pressure you into a permanent (unless you want to undergo a painful process to remove it, rather like the painful process that you would have to endure to get it put on) body modification. You would be stuck with it, if you did break up, and knowing how relationships seem to come and go, I wouldn't suggest getting it. Best of luck.

never do it man. It is a real disaster. if you do it, then you should keep in mind that if you break up, it become a hell for you. well if you are 100% sure that you would not break up. you can do it.

Well. It is nice to have your girl friend's name as a tattoo. that shows commitment. actually it seems a forever commitment. so, you have to make sure that she is gonna be your wife then. If you are not to ask here now. you have to think about it seriously. Ask your self if she is the one or not. I think this good happening to you now cause it is gonna save you a lot of time.

Love always doesn't last but tattoo's are forever...Don't let no one push you into something you don't want.I mean you can show her in another way you love her without getting her name.Good luck...;)

I think the mere fact that you're hesitating means you're not that committed to her yet and it would only bring you pain if you ever break up (pain from the break-up and pain from eventually trying to erase the tattoo :P) So in my opinion, don't do it.

No, but maybe get your wifes name one day.Yes you could break up some day. And then you'd either have to wear it, remove it, or have it coverd with something else.If it were me I wouldn't.

absolutely a BIG NO NO!

No! The only tattoos with names should be ones like Mom, Dad, Grandpop or your children. You may break up and be stuck with that reminder...could be a rather nasty breakup and something you don't want to be reminded of ever again.

I think getting your gf's name is kind of tacky. You never know what may happen if you break up, so now you're left with a tattoo that you will either have to keep forever or have removed (which I've heard is painful)and possibly make any other girlfriend that comes along angry because you have another girls name on your body. Just a bad idea I think.

I don't think it is a wise idea for you to have a tattoo of your girlfriend's name because it doen't do any good to you. Well, if she is meant for you, she will be yours and you don't need to have her name of your body. Worst still, if you have a tattoo of her name attached to your body and you break up, you will regret it for life. I never like name as tattoo though I've seem several people having tattoo of their name or their friends name.

Bad Bad Idea.. but if she still insisted, try getting a tattoo that sort of symbolize her. Maybe "My Angle". And if you dont end up with her, at least, you could still cover it up with the other girls you will end up with by saying that, they are your angle. But names?.. not a good idea.

hii goergineo, i believe you shouldn't. it is not whether you will break up or what.. it is just that, in the first place, you don't want to do it right? what she want is not always your want, too... digerati
