Would you get your wedding band or spouses initials tattooed on you if?

Question

you know that you will be together for the rest of your lives?

My spouse is deployed. I love him so much and when he came home for his 2 weeks R & R we talked about it and he said that was cool. I was just wondering what other peoples opinions were. We are deeply in love with a beautiful son.

If i did do my husbands intials, they are the same as my son's except my husbands first name starts with N and my son's starts with M. And i would have my son keep his fathers last name if anything did happen.

I also have 6 tattoos already. And if anything did happen to my husband I would be proud that he died doing something he loved with his whole heart. I support him as a soldier 100%

Answer 1

We talked about getting each others names on the ring finger and then the bands go over them. It was a good idea until my fiance came home with a huge ring. Now the idea would make my ring look trashy. But I would consider putting it somewhere else I guess.

Answer 2

The love that is involved within a marriage is a beautiful thing. There are many other things that you and your husband can do that will express how much your love means to one another. I spent over 10 1/2 years in the army so I can only imagine what your husband realize from being overseas. As I type this to you many things come to mind...like know one Else knows the love that you and your honey shares. Ten years may pass and he might tee you off to the point that you regret getting the tattoo,however at this moment you and your are truly happy and in love...getting the tattoo, is ok then if this is your way of expressing your love.
I would suggest that you wait until he returns and a few eeks down the line go because he is home for go things will be different and I know that you don't see that now but brace yourself because life over there is not easy at all. Good luck to you and your honey.

Answer 3

This question is a hard one. I have thought about it too. I also have a son and thought no matter what, we have a kid together so that would be ok if things didn't work out, for my husband and I. It would be a reminder of a great past or great future either way. Then I got thinking anything could happen. What if he has an affair, what if you did. What if you both are great until your 50's and then he has a mid life crisis and runs for his life. No offense to you-Guys are nuts though with the mid life's. Is it going to be a car, a house, a boat, motorcycle, girlfriend, bumbin buddy or is there the slight possiblity that he might wanna become a monk or something. Then you have this permanent mark on your ring finger. Hard to find a new man with that. Hard to move on with a memory of that-everytime you look down at your hand. The guys that do ask you out-are they asking you because they like married women? I dunno, I changed my mind on my tattoo ring. My husband has a regular tattoo on his back of a sun and moon-gorgous tat but his first true love's name is right in the middle of it. To hard to cover it. The girl ended up being a psycho in the end. He regrets it-I hate looking at it. Just think long and hard before you do it. Don't do it cause he wants you too, or because you wanna make him happy. If you can handle having that on your finger when your 80-whether you're with him still or not-More Power to ya Girl! I think they are so cute but I can't get the balls up to do it myself. Best of Luck to Ya! I do hope you both have long happy lives TOGETHER!!! If your husband truely loves you, he will understand and eventually be ok with it. It's your decision-your body. Try not to listen to the crazies on here telling you do it no matter what. That's just dumb. Think of all possiblities first. Then think again. Good Luck Sweety!

Well, not to be pessimistic or anything (I''ve been married for almost 24 years), but not all marriages last. That's one of the reasons that influence me to keep my maiden name. Tattoo is rather permanent. If you first marriage didn't work out, how are you going to explain your tattoo (or the scar if you have it removed) to your second sweetheart or husband?

On the other hand, you said you have discussed it with your spouse already. If you don't do it now it would probably bother him, and maybe even wonder why you are backing out - and you certainly can't tell him the "what if the marriage doesn't last" scenario. If the two of you discussed it, then you should carry through what you said. I would suggest both of you get the tattoo, so the commitment is mutual?

Answer 5

My boyfriend and I have been talking about marriage lately and I brought up getting each others names tattooed around the left wedding finger.
Not in place of wedding bands but more like a wedding band that can never come off.
He thought that was a pretty neat idea so we might do that.

I might get his initials tattooed somewhere but I haven't decided where.
And even if our relationship ended at some point down the road, my boyfriend has been a huge part of my life for so long, that I wouldn't mind keeping it on my body.

Answer 6

I think it's a great idea, I already have my wife'sfirst name tattooed on my shoulder, and I will be getting a ring tattoo that looks just like our wedding band tattooed around my finger, my reason is I can't wear my ring to work with the type of work I do, so when it comes time for vacation so it can heal, i'm getting mine done, so yes I think it's a great idea, and if you get his name and then something happens (God willing he will be fine) the piece can have more added to it and turned into a memorial tattoo.

As far as it interfering with any other relationships you may have later in life, my opinion is that the tattoos I have are a representation of a time in my life and I wouldn't change anything cause those are the things that made me who I am, so I would never consider removing any of them or covering them up anyway.
Do what feels right for you, and my prayers for your husband, may he come back home without a scratch on him.
God Bless him for his part in defending our country and freedoms!

Answer 7

I wouldn't do a name. Find some symbol, like your sons name or something specially drawn up because if you get divorced later on his name is there forever unless you get it removed or covered. A tattoo artist can design something for you. I've seen people get a bar code with their birthdate, spouses and childs at the end as if saying the product. To me that means more than a name and it brings your whole little family into it as well. Look farther into it and if you still want to get his name then do it. It is your body after all! Good luck, he'll be in my prayers to keep him safe. :)

Answer 8

I'm getting my partners signature on my ankle under a Maori design tattoo he done for me, The wedding band would ware out under the finger and initials would go well with a picture or design. There's some nice font out there for names or What about a design with the date you got together.
Yeah I think it's kool, It's a commitment of body's lol.

Answer 9

I was going out with a guy for a few years - I went on vacation, when I came back he had "CJ" (my name) tattooed on his ankle. I thought he would truly be sorry one day. He said he wouldn't be sorry because no matter what happened, I was a part of his life story. He wanted me to get his name and I said no - felt that if it didn't work out, at some point I would be very sorry & so would my next boyfriend!!!

We got married on our 14 YEAR anniversary - one month before, we got matching tattoos on the back of our necks with our first name initials intertwined with ivy. I know we did the right thing. I think you will have NO doubt in your mind when the right time and the right tattoo comes. BTW - please thank your husband for us. . .. & thanks to you too for allowing him to protect us!!!!

Answer 10

I would, I think tattooed wedding bands is awesome, even when you remove your ring you will always see a reminder of the undying love. The first time I saw it was on a guy I went to basic with, he had his wife's name around his finger when he took his ring off, that's love that isn't ashamed, and that's real love!
