Putting a name in on or under a tattoo

My daughter has a tattoo with her daughter's name but when she was younger she put her own name on her body. I thought it was strange and I said why on earth would you put your own name on your body and she said in case something happens to me I can be identified. As for people who are dating putting each others names on their bodies is crazy because you never know if its going to last a lifetime or not. Then when you break up and start dating someone else they are not going to be happy seeing another person's name on your body. It doesn't make a bit of sense to me.

Well, I honestly think that getting their children's name put on their body's is reasonable, but getting their partners name on them can be reasonable too, To me it honestly seem's like their committing too their partner even more then they already have. Some people might find it weird, cause you really don't ever know if the relationship or whatever is going too end, or if it even does end. That's just my opinion though! what do you guys think?

i could see doing it but i dont know anyone that has had it done and not broken up with their partner afterwards though.. its the "curse" they say

I was talking with a neigbour the other day about tatts and she said they were not something good at all. We were discussing it via relgion wise but to me I feel tatts represent something imporant to us and I feel that is why so many people get them. I have been wanting to get one myself but have not gone thru with it yet:) Take care happy mylotting.

i think it's so wrong to have a partners name tattooed on them,i have tattoos and i've chosen mine very carefully,nothing to big or ugly,and mine can be hidden if needs be

I think it is a no no number one, tattooing your partners name on your body. Parents and children is okey but not your partner names. The sole reason is because your partner can leave you (not only when they die), nobody knows if you will really be with your partner for the rest of your life. While your parents or children can never be 'divorced'. For example : Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp. They got their partner's name tattooed on them and then later had it remove. They are lucky for having the money and they can afford that as it is not cheap.

One of my exes actually had the name of his ex tattooed on him. He obviously is no longer with this woman, and now the tat is a constant reminder of her and the heartache she causes him. But she is also the mother of two of his kids. It did bother me slightly that he had her name, but I also knew he cared about me so... Then my ex fiance wanted me to tattoo his name on myself and I told him no to which he got very upset with me for. He couldn't understand why I wouldn't do that as a sign of my love for him. Shortly after that discussion I broke up with him for various reasons. I am glad I didn't tattoo his name on me, but I have a feeling he has mine on his arm.

I plan on putting my sons name on my side. I dont know why you would put anyone else name on you. Even if you are married there is always a chance that you might end up not being together forever then you have to worry about getting their name off of you are having to explain to everyone.
