If you are asking for our opinion on getting a matching tattooo, then the only smart thing to do would be to get a regular tatto with no names included. Perfect example for you. My husband and his girlfriend got each others name put on their arm while they were dating. Years later after we were married we had an insurance salesman sitting in our living room. He looks at my husband's arm and asked me if he could call me Cindy. Of course it wasn't o.k., my name is Sissy! Just think about how your next relationship partner will feel about someone Else's name on your body.

I'm not going to tell you you're being stupid - what tattoo you have is absolutely up to you. But I have to say I don't see a lot of difference between getting a name and getting the word 'forever'. You say you want something that could mean anything if thigns don't work out, but 'forever' really only means one thing, so I don't know if it's really what you're after. The other issue with 'matching' tattoos is that it could be different to come up with a design which meets what both of you are looking for in a tattoo. I know it sounds a bit stereotypical, but men and women do tend to have different tastes in terms of size and design, and trying to find something that you can both have the same seems like it could require one or both of you to compromise rather than getting a design you're really happy with. How about, then, getting tattoos with matching subject matter, without actually having identical images? You could pck a shared interest or something that means a lot to both of you, and then each get your own unique tattoo based around this. (So if, for example, you're both keen birdwatchers, you might each get a different tattoo of a bird; if you met at a drama group you could get tattoos relating to the stage, etc etc). That way you'd have tattoos which relate to one another and your shared commitment, but you also definitely get a tattoo you're personally really happy with, and it isn't obviously about your relationship (although it will symbolise it, to you). I hope that makes sense - have fun getting tattooed!

I'm gonna take a guess at what you're trying to ask. Is it a bad idea to get matching tattoos with the person you're in a relationship with? I've got one with my boyfriend's name. The guy who did the tattoo said it's always a bad idea. Make sure it can be covered over with another tattoo just in case!

If you are saying you want to get matching tattoos with someone you love, I would say don't do it.
It seems the be the begining of the end of the relationship for everyone I know who ever did it.

i think a matching tattoo is a curse , most couples don't stay togather for a life time even though they do intend to at the time but things and people change throughout time. unless you have one with a pitcher and under it use the words that says
y o u r n a m e written under it ,that way you don't have one persons name , it could be meant for anyone if you split up

I'm not sure what the question is, exactly... but it sounds like a bad, bad idea to me.
Tattoos are forever. Relationships aren't, no matter how much some people would like to think otherwise.

My husband and I have matching tattoos. He has his on his right leg and I have mine on my left leg. They are guardian angels and when we walk together it looks like they are reaching for each other. So you don't have to get names or anything but something that goes together that you both enjoy. When we are apart it is just our guardian angels. Good Luck.
