I don't think tattoos anywhere on the hands are a good idea.
They do end up looking old and faded rather quickly... not to mention the fact that some marriages do end up in divorce (no offense).
Instead of tattoos, why don't the two of you find a jewelry store that can make you custom wedding rings, maybe?? That would be personal, also!
And by the way... if "mamasan" up there ^ was really a tattoo artist, she would know that you cannot cover up a tattoo with "skin color" tattoo ink.

Every person I know who has got a wedding band tattoo has been deeply disappointed with it. The disappointment isn't because it's permanent: it's because it turns into a muddy, blotchy, ugly bruise after a year or two, and it can't be successfully touched up. The skin of the fingers is too thin and delicate to hold a sharp tattoo for more than a few months - the ink migrates under the skin, and you end up with a blotchy mess. And of course if you wear a ring over it, everyone thinks you're wearing a cheap ring that bled black gunk onto your hand. Sure, you can retattoo over it, but all that gives you is two muddy blotchy tattoos. Most of the reputable tattoo places here won't do a finger tattoo of any kind, and especially not a ring - they have few if any satisfied customers.

To tattoo a ring is not a wise idea.
Tattoos on the hands are frowned upon, not only that but the ink tends to fade and blur a lot faster.
I like the idea of getting matching tattoos, but then there is the problem that marriage may not be forever. Instead of a ring, you should try getting tattoo elsewhere on your body if you still want to do it. I think you should just stick with the traditional rings.

Personally I do not like tatts, however if it is something you and your future husband want to do then I say go for it. It is not for anyone else to tell you how you should symbolise your commitment to each other. Alot of people have suggested that if you divorce, you can not take the ring off. I think that is a good thing! When times get tough perhaps the permanence (is that a word?) of the tattoo will remind you of why you married in the first place and help you to work on your marriage instead of throwing it away like an unwanted ring.

Yes! I have always said that a wedding band is the only tattoo I would ever get. I don't like wearing rings, and a person who would agree to have a PERMANENT wedding band is obviously playing for keeps. The fact that you can't take it off is a GOOD thing.

I've had many friends who have done the tattooed wedding rings and most have regretted it. First, with the high number of divorce, it isn't usually a safe bet to assume you'll stay married. It isn't the most romantic idea, but it is something to keep in mind. My divorced friends have not enjoyed having a permanent reminder of their failed marriage on their body--especially so visibly because they have to explain over and over again that it didn't work out.
Secondly, because the tattoo is in the sun so much, it'll fade much faster over time and the coloration can change.
However, some of my friends really enjoy theirs because of the ease of not putting anything on or taking anything off. Especially if you work in a field where you have to take off your jewelry often (ie. surgeons, construction workers, etc.), it just is an easier solution.
In the end, it is your decision. Bear in mind that your finger is pretty bony and it'll hurt. :)

horrible idea. i think any matching tattoos are a bad idea for couples. why? because the divorce rate is over 50%. of course most people when entering into marriage don't think they're going to get divorced but the reality is that they do and the divorce rate is rising more and more each year. how will you feel about having a permanent wedding ring reminding you of your ex forever? and even if you do realize that you may get divorced and are okay with having that permanent reminder, you may hink "we may get divorced but we'll always be friends" the truth is that very few divorces are friendly. they may start out that way but most of them turn very nasty and bitter. do you want a daily reminder of that? i wouldn't
i have been married for five years and plan on being married for 55 more... but stuff happens and i don't know what's in store for myself.

Personally I would say no to that only because in this day and age things are never REALLY for forever like they are suppose to be. So why get something like a tattoo if just maybe the two people won't be together for ever. But then also it would be a reminder of what you had with that person and remind you of how you felt with them.

No, i do not think it's a good idea.
Reasons being:-
1. tattoo's fade after some time
2. If at all the couples happen to go for divorce, it is a painful & ugly way of removing it (nobody hopes for a divorce, but "****" happens)

It's a bad idea because if you get that tattoo then a couple months down the line you want a divorce ... what are you going to about that tattoo!!
