Answer 2

DON'T GET BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND/HUSBAND/WIFE'S NAMES ! you never know what's round the corner and whilst we would all like to think that the world as it is is perfect you just never know.
Does it hurt? well that depends on the individual's pain tolerance levels and also on where the tattoo is, how large or complex.
As to what else to have try to think of something that is personal to you and your BF that doesn't involve names so that if the worst does happen you will still have a reminder without having to explain to future partners about the name,
In rare cases some people can have an allergic reaction to the inks used though modern inks are much better than they used to be.
Fonts - well that's a matter of personal choice and the skill of the artist, script is OK as long as the artist is good at doing sweeping unbroken lettering, 'olde English' can be nice but can look to 'heavy' with letters merging into each other. Choose a simple open style that is easy for the artist to copy and easy for people to read.
Good luck, have a really good think about what you want as it will be there for life!

I wouldn't get a partners name if I was you, but if you do, get something small that can be covered over if you split up. Tattoos hurt depending on where they are and your own pain tolerance, but the pain goes away as soon as the needle comes off your skin. I was advised the last time I got a tattoo that reds, oranges and yellows are the most likely colours to cause a reaction.

If you are really, really, and I mean really sure you want it done then play around with the fonts on your computer and decide which you like best. But really think about it first.

Answer 4

I have a tattoo. Big regret.

If you're going to have it done (especially with a name) then put it somewhere out of sight-maybe on the top of your thigh, not least because fleshy areas are less painful than bony ones.

If I were you I'd have a soft, feminine font so that if the worst happens and you fall out in years to come then it can be creatively hidden-big bold lettering is not easily disguised later.

Take some time and find a design that you really like. these things are with you for ever-literally and the last thing you want is to have gone off it in 2/3 yrs time.

Make sure you go somewhere reputable and good luck!

Answer 5

Yes, tattoos hurt, in some places more than others. However, even though you two may be in love, I wouldn't recommend getting someones name!! In the event that something happens to you guys and you split up, you're left with his name on you forever. Down the line, when, say , you get married, do you really want your husband to have to see another man's name every day? What you can do is get a tattoo of something that represents you two and your relationship...something you can discuss with him, and you'll both know what the image means. Sorry to sound cynical, but I know far too many people who are unhappy because they're stuck with an ex's name on them somewhere!

Answer 6

hiya a tattoo depending where you put it will be anything to painful to very painful to extremely painful.
Having a name done- there is a commiment to tattoos that can't be expressed in any other way - you wear them for life and they age with you. But a name? what if the worst happened? i would pray that it wouldn't but... if you want to mark commitment with a tattoo why not choose a favourite flower? a favourite bird or something else symbolic to you both - the flowers that lasted longest in the first bunch of flowers he bought you etc etc that could be adapted changed or blended if the need ever came.

I've never heard of allergies to the ink but i'm allergic to the sticking plaster used to hold the cling film on after.

Answer 7

Most people, myself included, advise heavily against getting anyone's name tattoo'd on your body unless it's your child's name, or a deceased's name. Yes it hurts, use whatever font you like best and can live with forever, and yes you can be allergic to the ink. If you're determined to get the tattoo talk to the artist about incorporating a design into the name. Don't be surprised if the artist tries to talk you out of it too. Getting a boy/girl friend's name seems to cause most people to break up. I'm not saying that will happen to you, but you'd better be really, really sure you're going to be with that person forever before you get their name permanently etched on your body. Good luck.

Answer 8

In some ways the best place to site a tattoo is dependant on the size and shape of the tattoo itself. all a question of tasteful design and location that a good tattoo artist should be able to advise on. As for pain it all depends on location. uper arms hurt the least whilst the chest hurts the most due to nerves raditaing across from the nipple. a good rule of thumb is that on very muslced areas hurts least whilst boney areas hurt most. You shouldnt be allergic to the ink used. afterwards as it is healing it feels like a sunburn

Answer 9

i dont think that you should get a tattoo of your b/f's name unless you know that you are going to be together for the rest of your lifes. but yes all tattoo hurt unless you have a toerance for pain. the font is the font that you like the best. the name alone would be good unless you see a design that you want to go around it. or through it. i dont think you can be allergic to ink.

Answer 10

gettin a tattoo done will hurt dependin on what part of ya body ya get it done, i got mine done on my hip n it tickled more than hurt, its well worth it in the long run, personally, n they're great to show off, if ya getttin the name done a heart or a daisy or sumint would go great round it, small delicate font would b best, no point gettin a big fat manly font is there, also if ya put it somewhere where ppl have to ask to see it, or u can show it off dependin on what ya wearin, i mean mine is on ma hip it looks gr8 when im in a bakini,
on the arm is kinda manly too so dnt go for that, on the sholder is nice unless uve got a boob tube top on, its not very attractive
on the back is way too popular these dayz unless you like that
but on the ankle would look nice but its meant to hurt more due to there bein a thin layer of skin and bone n nerves
i hope that helps :)

Answer 11

Yes, it will hurt, but how bad it will hurt depends on your tolerance for pain and where you get it. You can add whatever you can afford to add to it. Remember, more means more expensive.

And, getting it removed will hurt more than getting it. I would talk to the tattoo artists and get the name done is a way that would make it easy to cover up. If you two break up, would you want to go through life with his name on your body.
