Let's talk tattoos. Do you and your partner have tattoos together? Are you considering getting some in the future? Will you get tattoos as part of celebrating your marriage?

Are your tattoos matching?Couples tattoos 1

    No my FH doesn't like tattoos so that would never be an option.

    Neither of us have tattoos, and we don't plan of getting them, but I do think they are pretty cool.

    We both have tattoos but we'll never get matching ones or each others names etc. I want to redo the one on my back before the wedding though and I'm having a really hard time figuring out what to do. I've been wanting to get it fixed for a long time now but since it's on my back I never see it so I don't think about it too often. When I saw myself in the pictures from trying on my dress I realized how badly it needs fixed before I have a ton of memorable pictures with a tattoo that was drawn by my ex husband.

    I think we did this last week. At least 3 people had serious misspellings. (Although, in our house when you don't regret something you probably should you say, "No regerts!" I'm pretty sure that if left in a note we would write it, "No, regerts!)

    FH had initially talked about having his wedding band tattooed. It would be his first tattoo. I've seen way too many pics of finger tats that don't last and fade oddly, quickly. Thankfully, I talked him out of that idea once he explained his concerns and reasonings for the tattoo. We agreed that a silicone ring would check off all his concerns AND avoid the needle!

    With FW in the military and us having such different tastes I don’t think we’ll get matching tattoos but I may get one in the future to celebrate our marriage

    FH has very specific ideas about what kinds of tattoos he would want (he doesn't have any currently), so I don't see us getting matching ones.

    I have two, but had such a bad reaction from my second one that I haven't got another one. I would like to get my first one covered by something else, if anything.

    FH has one tattoo (I wish he had more I think they are super sexy!) I have zero. I may get one in the future but I am so indecisive on what I want.

    I have a matching tattoo... With an ex. We we're stupid teenagers! Thank goodness it's not his name or anything like that. It's actually not awful.

    We are considering it. We are thinking matching meeples since we are play a lot of board games together. Right now neither of us have tattoos.

    My fiance and I got matching tattoos. We got the date we first got together and agreed before getting them that it wouldn't be a regret it was one of the best day of both of our lives. I like the matching tattoos!(:

    I have five tattoos. One includes H’s initials and I also have the word “Forever” on my collarbone with our wedding anniversary. He plans on getting “Always” with our anniversary on his shoulder this year. Instead of saying I love you, he says always and I say forever.

    My brother has an L on his finger (his wife's name is Lauren) but he doesn't wear his ring. I wouldn't do one because I'm paranoid of the kiss of death. I have tattoos, and I have tattoos for certain people but I wouldn't do a matching set.

    Both my husband and I are heavily tattooed- me more so. We plan to do the cheesy names and matching ring tattoos. Others say bad luck, we say love and commitment!

    FH doesn’t have any tattoos and I have two. He was originally against getting couples tattoos until he saw this one. He absolutely loves it! Not only is it a cute idea, it’s also a tribute to his dad (aka the biggest Superman fan ever)
    We wouldn’t get it on our fingers like this, but on the inside of the wrist. I plan on having mine watercolored and I think he’ll leave his b&w

    We're getting tattoos together, but not matching tattoos or couples tattoos. I've read and seen to many bad stories about that.
    Before the wedding we are joining the many lovely people who have gotten the semi colon tattoos. I'm clinically depressed and I've had several family members take their own lives so it's close to our hearts.

    H doesn't have any tattoos and he doesn't think he'll get any. He did mention maybe getting matching bear tattoos since we're the Bear family, I don't know how serious he was though. I would love that so I told him he can't tease me that way lol.

    FH and I are both tattooed and have been talking about getting some that symbolize the wedding itself instead of names or matching ones. I want to get the lace pattern from my garter on my thigh and he was thinking of getting his band tattooed, but who knows what we’ll do at this point Smiley smile

    I have a bunch of tattoos but my wife doesn't have any so I don't think this will ever happen lol. Not that I would necessarily want matching tattoos, I'm not really into that in general.
