My husband has been talking about getting my name tattooed on him lately. I actually originally brought it up just to see if he would do it. Now he does want to do it. He wants to put my name on the back of his calf. Is that a good place? Should I get his name on me as well? I really don't want to, but I feel like I'm being a bad wife if I don't return the gesture!

I have my husbands name on my body in 3 different places. I know some people might think thats crazy because you never know how long you will be together. But I see it like thats the problem we face now days is that people are so quick to just give up on relationships. When our parents generation got married they stayed married! And he and I have vowed to make it work because we were both done wrong by our previous relationships. I have his name on the back of my neck and across my lower back as well as on my chest. He has my name on his forearm. I view it as our bodies being our contracts...lol. and they are signed!!

I'd have him tatoo it on his 'you know what' that says "this belongs to 'your name'"
Just kidding, I'm really not a fan of tatoos.
I feel like it's a style that comes and goes, but when it fades, you're still stuck with it.
If you already don't want to do it, you'll probably regret it even more when you do. Tatoos are pretty permanent. You shouldn't feel like you have to prove your love and devotion by getting a tatoo, show it in other ways.

Well I will say that my man has someone else's name, in HUGE letters, across his back. Another woman, not me. Needless to say it is mortifying when we go to the beach or pool....So I would say no tattoo. Maybe get a symbol that is meaningful, but not a name. I am sorry to be negative, but look at Pam and Tommy, Johnny and Winona, it never works out.....

I think that tats are pretty much a bad idea. Names of significant others are kept in our hearts and spoken frequently. Your wedding bands are the ultimate symbol of that everlasting bond you two made to one another. A tattoo in my opinion is just a tacky way of expressing your emotions. There are more tactful ways of showing your devotion to one another.

It is really up to him. Just know that if you two every do get divorced he will have to pay to have it lasered off. I think tatoos are tacky on women, but again that is just my opinion. You shouldn't let anyone talk or make you feel you need to get a tatoo. I am sure your husband doesn't care either way.

Instead of putting each others names why don't you find a symbol that you both like and get that tattooed.

1st of all tattoos are for guys like me when I was in south east asia in the friggen navy. Not for married woman. People dont tattoo "names" on their body. Thats like me wearing dress shirts with my name on the cuff to remind me of who i am. Love is one thing, but having a name on your body is something totally for life. ( wink ) think about it kid.

He should get it across his forehead so people knows he's married...(only joking)
Yeah the back of his calf is fine or really only a place you and him will see it...

You both are crazy even thinking of putting anyones name on your body. If something was to happen to the marriage you will regret it.
