Should i get my man's name on my wrist?

Question

I Love HIm!!!

Answer 1

Hell no.

Here's a little exercise for you. Take an indelible marker. On your wrist, write the name of every boyfriend you've ever had. Neatly line through all the exes. Look at the list of lined-through names.

What makes you think your present "man" is the one who'll be on there permanently?

Sheesh.

Answer 2

The only...ONLY peoples names I would get on my body would be my children. They were brought into this world by me. Yes they have a father, but, those children will ALWAYS be my children no matter what. Men come and go.

I have to ask this, is he your man as in boyfriend, man as in husband, man as in Fiance'?.

I've been married twice before. The first time I was scared to death that if I didn't marry him he'd kill me literally. I was able to get away from him, and went into another relationship that I spent four years in. I married him and when I did..I loved him. I thought at the point and time I married him, I'd be with him the rest of my life. He neglected my children and myself, and a whole bunch of other things. I got away....with my dads help.

Point is...There's NO guarentee that your 'man' will be there ten years from now, fifteen, or even longer. People change.

If you've been with him for a long time, do a check of the relationship and how you feel about the relationship it's self, and him. How after quite some time of being with him he TRUELY makes you feel. Do some soul searching, if after that you come to the same conclusion, I'd say go for it.

If you've not been with him for very long. Couple years or less, I'd have to say, wait. Give it some time.

If you want to show him how much you love him, you could always get a peircing. If the relationship doesn't work the piercing can close back up. That simple. If the relationship does work and looks like it's for the long haul, then you can do something more, like a tat.

Just remember, If you get his name on your body, and it doesn't work, that name will be there as a constant reminder of a time, you might just want to forget. It may be cool now, to be able to look down at it and say..'ahh, my man' and get that giddy butterfly feeling in your stomach, but it may not always be like that. Tats are permanent.

Remember there are all kinds of other alternatives that you could do to show your man how much you love him. Keep your mind open. Watch over and protect your heart, and feelings. Make absolutely sure beyond a shadow of a doubt it's what you want, and know the results in the long run, both if they work out and if they don't.

I'm not here to judge and I'm surely not doing so. Just want you to know from the voice of experience. I wish you and your man all the best, and a long life together.

Good Luck!!

Answer 3

Isn't it wonderful when you fall in love with someone? However, please consider the ramifications of getting someone's name tattoed on your body.....especially anywhere as visible as the wrist! Tattoos can impede career choices, which may not be an issue now but can pop up later, and it really is never a good idea to get someone's name permanently lettered into your flesh. I mean, you know what your children's names are, and if you love this man, I'm sure he knows it. Getting a brand with his name on it won't make your love any stronger, and if he needs to see it to make him feel better, he is too insecure to trust in your love for him. In addition, and I'm not saying that I'm hoping for this to happen, if you two do go separate ways, you will always have an unhappy reminder, right there on your wrist, that it didn't go well. Perhaps getting the two of your names on a plaque (they sell them at some stores and malls, where you get the explanation and origin of your name) or some carving where you can hang it at work or at home can express your feelings in a lasting, yet not quite so permanent way. Good luck with your relationship, and take care!

Answer 4

You should wait and see how long you two have been together. If it doesn't work out like you wanted, then you would have made a big mistake. Try promise rings or get bracelets with each others name on it. A tatoo lasts forever and you may not like it in the future. You don't have to prove your love by getting a tatoo, you can only prove your love by giving things that could be saved for another time!

Answer 5

It is often a bad idea to get a name tattooed on your body unless it is someone that you will always have a connection with (i.e. blood relatives) unless of course you are fine with the consequences of having a tattoo of a man's name on your wrist if he were to leave you.

Also a tattoo on your wrist will (even though it shouldn't) limit your employment possibilities. It is a good idea to get tattoos in places that you can cover them.

Answer 6

No. Sure you love him now but who knows how you will feel a few years from now? You sound like you might be pretty young to even consider doing this. Maybe you could get a symobl of your love instead like a heart or something instead. That way if you break up you won't be left with some guys name marked on your body as a reminder!

Answer 7

You don't want any tattoo in a place where you can't hide it in a professional setting. No neck or lower arm tattoos. It shouldn't be the case, but it could hurt you in a job interview, or court, or when dealing with Police; people just assume things about people with tattoos-even in this day and age.

Get a tattoo that means something about him in a different place on your body-something that reminds you of him so that if it doesn't work out, you still have a cool, if bittersweet, tattoo.

Answer 8

I have a son who is 19 yes I was young...but anyways..
he got a tattoo. I begged him TO NEVER GET A GIRLS NAME.

Well now he's dating Ashley :) who's really nice....and four years ago when he had " Mandy " tattoo'd on his wrist too. Because he thought he was in LOVE.

Now he covers it with long shirts and is saving money b/c he works full time and has grown up......and is going to have it tatto'd skin colour b/c he doesn't know how long he will be with Ashley etc...and maybe his wife's name might be Sarah? I hope you understand....don't do what my son regrets...

take care,

Cinderella

Answer 9

No, do not do that! I hate to say it but that is going to effect you when you get older and if you two should split up that will not be a good thing to have to remember him every time you look at your wrist. Just go on loving him and showing him he is appreciated. That will show your love for him far more then a tattoo that will get faded and ugly as the years pass.

Answer 10

No. Because a lot depends on why people get tattoos and names always seem to be mistakes, it you want something to represent the relationship that you are in now, get something like a heart, or a rose, or a leaning tower, or something symbolic instead of the name.
