Tell him exactly how you feel. Maybe suggest getting a matching tattoo and make sure that you get something that will be meaningful to you even if you two don't end up together in the long run.

Do not do it period. Getting a tattoo is for life. If he really wants to get something to remind you of him (if you even want it), pick out something that is memorable of you both and get that. Okay and now the stats:
A majority of Americans with tattoos (83%) do not regret getting them, while 17% do feel regret. And, the reason cited most often for feeling regret about getting tattoos was "because of the person's name in the tattoo" (16%).

Tell him not to get the tattoo and that you don't want one either. Because, what if you guys were to break-up, it's quite costly and painful to get tattoo removed you know? And search for a place with temporary tattoo ( not sticker tattoo ) i remember the temporary tattoo can stay on for a few days or weeks.

+ Don't limit yourself—not in the beginning anyway. Later, when you're running out of skin, limit yourself. In this phase of getting a tattoo, however, he it your first or your fifth, let your mind wander and ponder every possibility that presents itself before narrowing your choices.
+ Don't let somebody else pick your design. Let your next truck, wedding dress, or cell phone be a group choice, but not your tattoo. There's only one person that it has to satisfy. To be a good design choice, it has to satisfy that person. This isn't to say you won't talk to people about it and hear their input and their opinions, but you are in control—unless of course you're one of those actors in The Lord of the Rings who all got the same tattoo, or your fraternity demands it, or your combat unit is shipping out tomorrow and they bully you into it. Then it's OK.
+ Don't let the tattoo artist pick it. That's just weak.
+ Don't pick a design that you don't understand—really understand, including runes or kanji or Sanskrit. Do your research instead of letting something get lost in translation.
+ Don't get your significant other's name. Pay for a billboard on Valentine's Day, have your marriage proposal done on the side of a blimp, bring him or her breakfast in bed every day for ten years but never have your boyfriend's, girlfriend's, or spouse's name tattooed. It is the number one reason why people regret their tattoo later.
+ Don't do it to please somebody else—not even a hot-looking tattooist.

Just tell him that you don't want to get a tattoo at this time but maybe at some later date.

wow ... this is tough one. you have not mentioned how hold you two are ... therefore, i would suggest to YOU that you tell him no ... if you two were married, that would be a different situation. he would be foolish to have something 'permanent' put on himself at such a young age (i am guessing?). your concern is very very positive and i am proud of you for not wanting him to do something like this. if he cares a lot about you, please tell him there are a lot of other ways to show this other than a tattoo. i wish you the best.

You should encourage him not to put your name on himself. Put your foot, and tell him that your not putting his name on you.
Its like an unwritten rule for a break-up. My cousin did it after six months of being with this guy. Getting the tattoo made him "happy". He didn't get her name on him. Yet they've broken up twice since she got the tat.
Just becareful.
Maybe get his initial in a low key place. something easy to cover up....just in case.

Then don't. Don't let anyone bully you into doing anything with which you are not comfortable. Maybe your common sense is trying to tell you something.

tell him that as much as you love him you dont feel comfortable.
although it might seem like a good idea at the time what if u guys break up? then he has his name on you forever....maybe if you want to get something to represent your love get symbols together

Say NO. You don't want him too either.
If you don't have any, say you don't want any tattoos.
If you do have some, tell him it's bad luck to get a boyfriends name tattooed on.
