I've been planning for a while to get a scythe (the sickle that the Grim Reaper holds) tattooed on my right ankle and when I find the right man to marry, together we get a set, a band of celtic knotting to match on our left upper arms.
I was told a long time ago to NEVER get a guy's name tatted, because he has "branded" you for life with the pain he will cause you. Both of these symbols do ring true for a guy that I love, but both have double meanings to me (he is my God of Death but I have always seen myself as the Preistess of Death; never ending love, never ending life)
Do you think it would be branding myself? Or, because there are double reason for both, I should just go ahead and get them?

By the way, this is just a questioning of opinion. I recognize and understand that the ultimate decision is mine and mine alone. If I get these tattooes, it's because I want them, if I don't then I won't get them done.
The God of Death thing- At a time in my life where I wanted nothing more than to die, I met him. And he took me into a time that seemed like nothing short of heaven itself. So I've always said that he was my God of Death, swooping low with his scythe to come and carry me across the river Styxe to go to Nirvana.

I hate to do this but I have to ask the latest poster, did you even really read the question? No names! Both are double meaning symbols. Please read more thoroughly before answering.

i think it sounds like you really want the scythe and i think you should get it for yourself. then when you find that man who you will marry you decide together how you want to show your commitment. it is an important decision and while other peoples opinions will not change your mind they will allow you to look at all options and decide whats best for you. good luck to you!!

The reason why people should not get their spouse's named tattooed on them is cause not all people are together for the rest of their life. Some people split up or get divorced. You do not want to end one relationship and get into another one with some other man/woman name tattooed on your body.I got my husbands name tattooed on me and we are still together. No matter what I will keep his name on me.
Before you get a tattoo please consider that it is something you will have for life unless you plan on paying to have it removed or get it covered up. Keep in mind that cover up's are much harder to do on females then males Most places won't even do cover up's. So think about it and get what you want and get them for meanings not just because you want a tattoo. Too many people get stupid tattoos just cause they want a tattoo and then spend years crying about it cause they no longer want it.
If you think about it for a little while and that is really what you want then by all means go for it. If you don't or you have doubts don't do it!

I'd do branding if you happen to dont like tattoo colours. It hurts like a ***** although. I might get whatever significant although, and I love ICP, however I might in no way get it tattooed on me. That's simply me although, and it is simply an opinion. XD

I wouldn't recommend getting a boy/girl friends name on or husband, generally speaking tattoos out last relationships. If his name was Tom, you could change his name to "Tomato"; Bill to "Billiard"; Jack to Jack of "Spades" etc. If you just came up with the idea, I would wait 1 year and then if your just as excited about getting it after a year gone by, go ahead and get it, but I still don't recommend names.

Tattooing has become very fashionable. When I was a kid only sailors and bikers had tatts. My Dad had a tattoo of his last name in Korean on his forearm and he always felt ashamed of it. I had one uncle who had naked ladies eagles, etc etc. I was fascinated and curious about them.
Anyway I know women who have guys names put on them and they have always found talented artist to find creative ways to cover them up. LOL
Best advice is if you get a tattoo, find someone reputable because tattoos are forever.
Personally I think tattoos in less obvious places are best, but I'm 52 and still have some old baggage about tattoos.
I've had cosmetic tattooing of my eyebrows and eyeliner. I have three daughters, two have tattoos. I'm very comfortable with that.
Do what you're comfortable with, it's your body....
