my first tattoo?

Question

im getting my first tattoo would it be dumb for me to get my boyfriends name if weve been together for almost 3 years and hes getting mine name?? Help please

Answer 1

Getting your first tattoo is going to be an exciting experience. I personally wouldn't recommend getting your boyfriend's name on you or him getting your name on him (even if you have been together for three years). My parents have been together for over 20 years and both agreed that they would only tattoo their children's names on them. You two may be together for the rest of your life or you may decide to go other ways, if that happens do you want his name on your body? Instead of tattooing names, why not find a symbol you both can relate to and get matching tattoos?

Answer 2

Yes! Don't do it! The only names that should ever be in a tattoo are those of your parents, children, siblings, or deceased people. I know many people who think they will be with someone forever and it's hard to ever imagine life without them but unfortunately it usually does end sometime (be realistic). One thing you might consider is mutually deciding on a similar or matching tattoos that are not such an obvious "this person belongs to me" (possessive) thing., like intertwining hearts or something like that. Once you've been married for twenty or so years then maybe go get the name tattoos; until then, get only exactly what YOU want because the only person who is always going to be with you is YOU.

Answer 3

I personally wouldn't put any name on my body unless it was my child's. Even though you've been together for 3 years, that doesn't mean you'll stay together forever. How would you feel if one day you broke up and you still had his name on your body? I would recommend instead finding or designing an image that you feel best represents your boyfriend or your feelings for him, an image that you'd still want on your body even if you broke up. You'll have no regrets that way.

Here's an example for you. One of my tattoos is of a fairy reclining on a moon. It was because of a boyfriend that I got this. He had written a poem for me about a fairy's song. So I felt the tattoo fit well. It's been years since I've seen him. I don't regret the tattoo, because I now associate it with the feeling of first love as that boyfriend WAS my first love.

Answer 4

Only get the name tattooed on you if he has the same name as your child. You always have to think about the future. If the relationship doesn't last what is your future mate gonna think. And yes some men do cheat what if his other woman sees it and says " She's so stupid she has his name tattooed on her but I'm who he really wants. These are things you have to think about because they don't just wash off when your angry.

Answer 5

Ive thought about a tattoo with my boyfriends name, but if you think about it just because you have been together you never know what could happen an then you are stuck with that for the rest of your life!!!!

Answer 6

Not only do I say it would be dumb for you to get eachother's names, but don't get anything that would "represent" that person either. (like a lion if he's a Leo,etc.) Just get what you want, and give it alot of thought. It's permanent, and 9 times out of 10, boyfriends at your age (I'm assuming you are in your early 20's ish) are not!

Answer 7

wow, really looks like you shouldn't do it right? right! your first tat, and your gonna get your bf's name on you? people have been in 20 YEAR relationships and don't get tats of eachother's names. why? it's stupid (and i have tats, so it's not me being ignorant) and you dont want that to be your first, trust me! also, 3 yrs is nothing in the scheme of things. and you think you guys will be together for the rest of your lives? think about it, then make your own decision without letting him pressure you into it. if anything, get a chinese symbol, and tell him it's his name! that way, you wont regret it later, like when youre 50.

Answer 8

yes that is a dumb idea....sorry to be so blunt but do not get something that you are going to regret in the long run....
the only way I would get a man's name on my body would have to be my husband and no one else.... my boyfriend and I have been together for over 3 1/2 years and I would never ask him to put my name on him and I be darned if he asks that of me beccause it is not going to happen unless he puts a ring on my finger and sometimes that does not solve the problem or issue and then you are stuck with that decision for the rest of your life.
Please be cautious about the decisions that you make.....
good luck!

Answer 9

dont get his name....some say it's bad luck, but i think when one person gets their partners name tattooed on them, the other person will be more likely to see the tattooed person as property or a commodity, and therefor the person with the tattoo gets treated like garbage for the rest of the relationship and so on... i've seen it all too many times 1,3,or 10 years together it always happens

Answer 10

NO!!! Don't do it kido!!! I mean the name thing, it's only been 3 years with the guy. If he want's to do it let him, but don't you do it. I've been with my hubby for 16 years and still don't plan on getting his name on me. The only name i would ever get is my daughters. Make sure what ever it is you get, that you will not regret it. They hurt alot more coming off than going on. Good Luck
