The way I look at it, getting a tattoo of a spouse/boyfriend/fiance's name is a jinx. It seems like everyone I know or know of who has done so split up with the person and then had to get it covered up. The only names I would ever get would be my child or sibling or parent. That's just my opinion.

There's a saying that pretty much goes never get a name tattooed on you unless it's your child's, pets (hey some do it) or family member. That being said some also think it's in a way bad luck I say go with what you want but you have realistic drawbacks and already have some reservations on it. The idea as one answer said of matching tattoos for couples is something that witht eh right design turns out wonderful and like another person also said if for any reason it ends you have that as a happy memory not as something to explain to another person later on or to spend more money to get it covered. A tattoo should be something you ideally want on you forever and hopefully you guys stay together that long. Good luck

I would think long and hard about that decision. I was married for 16 years when my marriage ended. There is never and absolute. Getting a spouse or significant others name tattooed on your body to me is just asking for disaster.

Everyone I've known that had their partner's name tattooed on them is no longer with them, and have regretted it enough to cover it. Plus, I know couples that were together for 20-30+ years and still end up splitting. Nothing is guaranteed.
I think the only names to consider for tattoos are your kids (other other truly worthy relative, like grandma or something) or a dog/cat (usu. in memoriam).
My husband and I agree on our view of name tattoos. To represent our love at the time, we got "matching" tattoos. We have the same tattoo in the same location on our body. His colors are slightly different than mine (he wanted the purple parts to be blue on him), but otherwise it's identical. And it's a design that we will both love even if we end up parting ways in the future.

I love my husband more than anything, and I have a tattoo to symbolize him and our relationship, but I would never get his name tattooed on me. I have seen too many people get Significant Others names tattooed on them just to break up. I honestly think we will be together for the rest of our lives, but I don't want to jinx it with a name tattoo.

Some people say that once you do that you will "curse" your relationship. I, myself, love getting tattoos and love my husband more than life itself. I don't have his name on me, but I do have a symbolic orginal tattoo that represents him. He also has the same type thing on him. Heaven forbid if something should happen to our marriage but then we wouldn't have to worry about a name on our bodies.
If you have a nickname or "pet name" you could get that object or something that you see, you see your Man. It is up to you don't let anyone tell you want to put on your body. Just think about it before you do it.

I dont reccomend it...but I love matching tattoos for couples. They always will remind you of the good times if, god forbid, you were to ever end up divorced. Cute/funny/happy designs that can represent your love for eachother, text can be boring anyways(Unless its a great quote).

i am absolutely not a fan of name tattoos at all regardless of who's name it is, i just don't think they look all that good. if you want to get a tattoo that has to do with your husband why not get something that reminds you of him? or of your relationship? don't get something generic but something specific to you as a couple.
it's better than a name.

Never ever, ever never get a name on your body unless it's your kid, or a parent!!!! if you get a girlfriend or wife it's like a jinx to the relationship...I don't know why..but I've seen it happen time and time again...even happened to me.
