Being someone who has tattoos, I understand the meaning to it. But I think getting someones name tattooed on you is not the best idea.. But who cares go for it... screw the hataz right. And if something happens just get another one over it.. lol

It's a sweet thought but names aren't a good idea unless it's a memorial for someone or a child or grand parent. I wouldn't want an ex boyfriends name on my body and to have another guy dump me because of it. Find a symbol that you both like and have him get that, just think about the future and what could possibly happen. Not trying to be sadistic and curse the relationship just saying, things happen and people break up all the time ... would you want your name on him forever and have another woman in his arms if it happened to turn out that way? A symbol is easier to find a new meaning for than a name which is pretty self explanatory ... Think about it first!

A name is the mark of death. If he gets it done, you'll break up. Two girls at work got their boyfriends names tattooed on them. Neither of them is with the guy anymore. One had it covered up with a big black star and it's horrible. You can still see the name through it. The other hasn't decided on a cover up yet. Her relationship had lasted 5 years when they broke up. My tattoo shop tells people not to have it done. They'll do it, but they'll tell you up front that you'll be back for a cover up so have one in mind.

As tattoo artists, we generally try to advise against this. People here will caution you as well because, sadly, the odds are against it going well forever. As a matter of fact, many consider it almost as a mark of an inevitable breakup.
What I personally believe is that a person could choose something symbolic; of importance to both of you - something that will forever remind you both of something very positive at the time, even if things go sour in the relationship.
This is accepting because it marks an important time in our lives. For instance, say you baked for him one day and this whole giving process had special meaning to you both; quite possibly a chocolate chip cookie could be a significant tattoo, as odd as it may sound.
Anyway, that is the concept. Please ask your man to reconsider.

not a smart idea!
the only names one should tattoo on their body is that of a child or an ancestor (parent, grandparent, etc) NEVER a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend.
if, however, you guys are together at the time of his (or your) demise and one of you were a firefighter or police officer who falls in the line of duty, then that would be a suitable circumstance for a tribute (memorial) tattoo

Well the number one reason why people regret their tatts is if they're of someone's name. Don't let him do it. If he's set on it, convince him to get something that symbolizes you instead. Like your favorite animal or something.

I would not recommend it unles you two are very serious about each other. I nearly got a girls name tattood on my back when we were planning on getting married. But now i'm glad i didn't, because we broke up and i would have to either have it removed or covered up.

not to be pessimistic but 3 years isn't really that long...I was with my ex for 4 years when we broke up. I know some friends that were together longer than my ex and I and they aren't together anymore. I wouldn't recommend getting a gf or a bf name on yourself just because I dunno, sounds dumb but it feels kind of like it jinxes it somewhat? Maybe suggest getting something that reminds him of you or that he associates with you rather than your actual name?
