Tattoos with your significant other's name

Ask any tattoo artists, getting someone's name tattooed on you almost guarentees you'll need it covered up before you know it.

I just think you needn't serious care about this issue. Tattoo others' name would be OK if you like to do so, if you have a bad luck that you don't have a good relationship with he/she again, ok, it is still a really member for your past time.

I'm not a big fan of tattoos on a persons body that are the name of the person they are with. As you've already said, you just don't know if the relationship that you're in will work out. I don't think it's wise to get a tattoo because then you're stuck with it and will have to explain it to each and every person you date unless you pay the money to get it removed which is expensive and painful. I suppose it's all up to the person but you know, I'd rather not deal with the hassle.

Your post caused me to do two things. 1. Wonder how I would feel if my significant other had tattoos of the name of one or two of his past significant others on his body. 2. Think about at least two friends I know who have really bitter memories of their past relationship and partner so much so that they speak very little or passingly about them and still with resentment. What if they had gotten a tattoo of these past partners (they are divorced...not common law) done on them. I guess they would have gone the mile to get a coverup. I would not have anyones name tattooed unto me and I am not sure I want my name tattooed unto anyone either.

My husband use to be a tattoo artist and i would tell peoples to tink real hard about putting their partner's name on their body.It's true that most peoples have to get it cover after about 2 yrs...But i got my hubby's name on the back of my neck after only being with him for 3 months,that was 7 1/2 yrs ago,now i also have my son's name and my step daughter's name tattoo.I guess some peoples are willing to take that chance,i was and i'm still very happy and in love with the tattoo and him!!

I would not have a tattoo I do not like needles. I do not think it is a good idea to have your hubby have a tattoo of your name on him. Like u said u never know about a relationships whether it will work out.

I agree with you. I believe in the notion that everyone has a soulmate, but how do you know if ur with "the one"? The answer is you don't. With that said I don't think that you or anyone for that matter, should be just branding yourself or your hubby with eachother's names. Its a sweet idea but what if your not that forever kind of couple? I mean lets face it things happen in relationships everyday and do you want a tatoo to remember the heartache of a lost love? I don't think so. I've said it before and I'll say it again; the only names I'll ever tatoo on my body are my mother, father, or my children cause their the only people that will b in your heart and your life with no doubt about it forever.

it really depends on the person i was married for 8 years before i got my hubbys name on me and after i got it on i been married 3 years after that for a toltal of 11 years , the tattoo i got i had made up noone else has it but me , even if we did end up going our diffrent ways i would still not get it covered up or anything, but anyways putting a name on your body does not mean its not going to last, so talk to your hubby about it and see what he says only you 2 can make that choice.

hmmm i would not recommend that because well not to say that it will happen but nothing last forever and i'm sure that it would be a shame to end up with someone else's name on your person. would you reciprocate, let us say that for the sake of argument that you do, then the relationship goes south, you will always have that name there, then have to explain it to your current partner. hmmmmm awkward yes. so here is my advice to you, why not get something that symbolizes you, something that both of you will recognize as being there, not your name but something else. even something maybe that you design, think about it. that way there is discretion and he will not have to to have it covered up and it will always remind him of you and it will be your little secret.

I think it is not a gud idea...If u really want to show ur love,,there are so many ways to prove and show ur love rather than tatooing their name...It is my opinion..no hard feelings
