Never .. I have over 9 tattoos and that's the number one rule .. never get a name - a symbol of your love or some other design that means a lot to the two of you would be better ... !
My last boyfriend past away over a year ago and he use to always tell me " she's a keeper " .. so the day after he died in a car accident I went and got that tattooed on my wrist ... there's lots and lots of different ways to show your love for another with tattoos then just names.
I'd say the only time it's acceptable is after your 50th year anniversary my grandpa did that for my granny and thought it was so sweet. I know, they know, our whole family knows they will be together forever ... so the tattoo is perfect.

No way. Men come and go, but tattoos last forever. Unless you get it surgically removed and end up with a permanent scar. If I ever get a tattoo, it'll be a Chinese character of some sort — I'm thinking the one for fire.

Only name I will ever get most likely will be my kids. In fairness I have thought of tattooing a wedding band.

No. I feel getting names tattooed on you is just like giving a time limit on a relationship. Even if you feel your love is permanent, it may not be.

Anyone who thinks anything last's forever is wrong. One rule never tattoo a name other than your children on your body.

If you get one start researching subtances that remove tattoos, immediately! Tattoo content goes out of style and eventually will date you.
Also spiritually speaking...
I thought you might want to at least consider this article:
Bible Answers
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT...
PIERCING THE BODY? AND TATTOOS?
Song of Solomon 2:15 says, "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Foxes sometime in search of food would enter into the grape orchards and devour the grapes and spoil the crop. However, the little foxes were too small to reach the grape bunches so they would chew on the vines and it would kill the whole vine. Instead of the farmer just losing his crop, he would lose his vine which was more disasterous. Spiritually some things we do or allow that we might think are little or insignificant can also be disasterous for us.
Many of the young people in our society here in the USA are embracing a dangerous "little fox" or seemingly "little thing" that may seem harmless. The young people are saying that it is a "trendy" thing to do. Many of them are showing off multiple ear, nose, tongue, eyebrow and navel jewels and rings attached to their pierced flesh and tattoos. Some even have this done on unspeakable parts of their bodies. These are abnormal and unnatural.
As many people are not aware of the spiritual dangers in such practices, this article is not meant to condemn any that may already have this done. However, we would urge you to seek the Lord as to any further involvement in this practice. The Lord loves everyone, no matter what we are currently doing however, His desire is to show us a better way.
The Bible warns us against cuttings in our flesh in Leviticus 19:28 which says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
Our young people do not realize what they are doing has its roots in witchcraft and the practices of false religions. Those that have made trips to other parts of the world have viewed the bodies of those who have not only pierced and tattooed their bodies but have gone further, with mutilating their bodies. It is repulsive to see someone deform the body that the Lord made in perfection. The Lord admonishes us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20,
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
If we are to glorify God in our bodies, how do body piercings and tattoos glorify Christ?
Many of our young people are getting body piercings and tattoos out of a spirit of rebellion against their parents advice.
One note of warning to the church on this subject of body piercings. We have a generation now of young people that love the Lord yet do not understand all of His ways. Soon we are also going to be seeing a great revival among the youth of the world. The youth of this day want a real cause to live and die for. Most have not seen true Christianity. However, when they do come to Christ many will be bringing their tattoos, dress, music and old habits with them right into the church. We must be sure that we do not despise them nor look down on them, but rather welcome and love them and gently teach them the ways of the Lord. We are called to love and pray for them and help them avoid making some of the mistakes we have made in our own walk with the Lord. We need to be true mothers and fathers to them. Yes, we must speak the truth in love, but let us make sure we are loving them and not condemning them. On the other hand, we must not accept all that they would desire to bring with them that would harm them and compromise the Word of God. We will all need God's grace to bridge the generation gap.
Bottom line in regard to body piercings would be to ask the popular youth slogan, "What Would Jesus Do?" I don't believe we will ever see Jesus with any body piercings that He placed on Himself. I can't imagine Jesus with a tongue ring or a navel piercing. The only scars on His body are the nail pierced hands and feet put there by the evil men that crucified Him. They were not self inflicted. Overcomers will put away the "little foxes" that lead to bigger compromises.
EDITOR'S NOTE: We are including a testimony of a former Hindu who knows only too well that body piercings and tattoos are a form of witchcraft:
I am from Malaysia and I truly enjoy the Overcoming Life Digest. Although I enjoy reading all the articles, I find the Little Foxes enlightening and informative. Last Friday, when I entered the GCN chatroom, they were discussing about tattoo and piercing (tongue). One of the believers there was telling them it was wrong for Christians to have tattoos. Since I was formerly a Hindu, I know tattoo is from Hinduism and also witchcraft. Also, Hindus pierce their tongue with small spears and prick the entire body with little hooks and go in trances. I have witnessed this personally. But praise God, I never took after any of these rituals even when I was a Hindu. Praise God, I managed to convince a few about the evil of tattoos.
May God bless you!

Sorry to say I did it. It was after we were married and she had already put mine on her ankle. Wish I had never done now that we are divorced. I would however get my kids name. My advice, don't do it.

NO WAY. Don't do it! You never know what can happen in relationships.
If it's a grandparent or a child that's different.
