I'm talking about a relationship that is two years long.. if that makes a difference.

I think it's a bad idea.. Why not find some symbol that you can get tattoed instead? Something that would still mean a lot to you, but wouldn't have the same weight as carrying around someone's name with you for the rest of your life.

Names of someone you are with isn't wise. If the relationship blunders you are left with a name and have to live with it, cover or get it removed. A symbol or some specially designed tattoo that reminds you but doesn't have a name in it would be cool. Most artists will design one out for you if you ask about something that would work for you. Look into all the other options out there before you get your partners name just incase it doesn't work out. I've been with my boyfriend for two years and I still wont get his name tattood anywhere. Thinking more about the future in the moment for something permanent. Hope this helps you!

I have been married for over 8 yrs, love my husband and can't see life without him but NEVER would I put his name on my body in ink. Only my kids names will ever make it to my body. Unless they are related by blood then it really isn't a good idea.
I was in a committed 4 yr relationship (or so I thought) and when I got pregnant he left. He wanted me to get a tattoo with his name. Look at where I would have been . You never know someone fully untill they die I think...people change, emotions change...doesn't mean they are wrong...we just change. Permanant is stuff like trees and rocks. And tattoos.
Look at all the divorces around you of people who have been married forever....it seems easier and cheaper to go thru a divorce than tattoo removal.
Angelina Jolie (and others) should be a prime example...didn't they swap blood even?! And now look....she stole someones man and doesn't even want to marry him...wonder how long it will take her this time! I bet Jennifer thought it was forever.

I think it's a bad idea...even if you're married. 2 years is not that long really...If you want this to be a shared experience, then make that the "together thing" - getting the actual tattoo....but you risk the fact that if you don't end up getting married to the person and ending up with them forever....you may hurt a future person that your with and will also be a forever reminder of the person..

I think it's great! It not only shows how much you love that person but also shows that that is something in your life that you want to remember forever. Wether it be a good guy or bad. Either way you'll remember and know what to watch out for. I personally had one done after only 4months of dating my boyfriend and we are still together, married and have 2 children. (15yrs later)
But it all depends on the person.
hope this helps and good luck!

Not a good idea, 2 yrs is not a life long commitment, I finally had my husbands name put on my body after 40 yrs of being married. trying to cover an old boyfriends name can be a pain in the neck. For a long time my hubby would say, you got the kids name on you why not mine? I told him they will always be my kids you might not always be my husband. good luck tattoo's are awesome, but think long and hard on that.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never tattoo a name on yourself that is not your own or your childrens... Because men come and go, no matter how long the relationship. My sister in law just had to have the name of her children's father (who happened to get thrown in jail for 15 years the day after their youngest child was born) covered up... because she made that timeless mistake. Think about this, you and your guy break up, a while later you meet someone you really like... you start to make love and all the sudden your new guy finds the name of your old guy on your body. That, my friend, is a huge ego crusher

I don't agree with tattooing a name of a bf or gf as you never know if the relationship will last forever but the tattoo will. Getting the name of your children is cool though.

I don't think it is a good idea. My husband and I won't even get our names tattooed on each other.
If you want to do something special maybe you should get similar tattoos. Or something that you both enjoy. (for example: tennis rackets or music notes)

even if you had 50 yrs together.....it's a NO. I have 3 tattoos, and it's not like you r planning to break up with them in the future....it's just not a good idea.

I was always way against getting someone else's name tatooed on your body.
I freaked when my best friend got her boyfriend - then of less than a year - tattooed on herself. But they're still together and very happy.
And my parents have been married for twenty three years and got eachother's name tattooed on their ring finger, because they aren't allowed to wear rings at work and they lose that sort of thing anyway.
Whatever makes you happy. Just remember that unless you have tons of bucks to shell out, tattoos are permanent. However, you can always get it covered up.
