Should I have a tattoo of my girl riend's name?  

I think getting your gf's name is kind of tacky. You never know what may happen if you break up, so now you're left with a tattoo that you will either have to keep forever or have removed (which I've heard is painful)and possibly make any other girlfriend that comes along angry because you have another girls name on your body. Just a bad idea I think.

I have four tattoos, all my own artwork. I would never want to have a name as a tattoo, they never really look very good and can cause a lot of problems in the future.

Love always doesn't last but tattoo's are forever...Don't let no one push you into something you don't want.I mean you can show her in another way you love her without getting her name.Good luck...;)

Never, ever get a partner's name tattooed on you! Not only is it cheap and tacky looking, but it's the kiss of death for the relationship. People always break up and are then stuck with a pointless and nasty tattoo!

It is considered unlucky to tattoo your girlfriend or boyfriend's name on your body. The issue about breaking up is key here. You can safely tattoo your mother's name on your body, because she will never change. However, girlfriends and wives come and go.

The problem here, is that she will see the idea as a lack of commitment. So, the trick here is to handle this without seeming to be afraid of commitment. Has she, by any chance, gotten a tattoo of your name on her body? If not, then suggest that you don't like name-tattoos and wouldn't want her to put your name on her body either. To back this up, you can point out the idea of a 'tramp stamp.'

Certain men who put women on the street to earn money in questionable ways will have the woman put a tattoo of their name on their bodies as a sort of proof of ownership. Therefore, you can voice reluctance to tattoo names on bodies -- hopefully without seeming afraid of commitment.

No, but maybe get your wifes name one day.Yes you could break up some day. And then you'd either have to wear it, remove it, or have it coverd with something else.If it were me I wouldn't.

I think the mere fact that you're hesitating means you're not that committed to her yet and it would only bring you pain if you ever break up (pain from the break-up and pain from eventually trying to erase the tattoo :P)

So in my opinion, don't do it.

i dont mean to be the devil's advocate but most of those i knew who had their partner's name tattooed in their body... in any part, most of them have already separated. :)

he he that was not a joke. they're true. anyway im sure you won't be having the same problem.. but of course when you do that, have no regrets.

Never put a girls name on your body unless it is your mother's or your child's. You will always end up being asked about that relationship and what happened to it. My son put a name on his wrist and now regrets it, my other one, on his chest by his heart.
Don't do it. I have never done this and I am happy for it, my ex had several girl's names on him and I would always have to look at them and always wonder if he was telling me the truth about them.

There's no reason for her to be insistent that you get a tattoo of her name on your body, if for no other reason than -hello-, it's -YOUR- body. If you wanted to tattoo her name on you, then that's one thing, but no one should pressure you into a permanent (unless you want to undergo a painful process to remove it, rather like the painful process that you would have to endure to get it put on) body modification. You would be stuck with it, if you did break up, and knowing how relationships seem to come and go, I wouldn't suggest getting it.

Best of luck.
