They are getting tattoo's on their ring fingers instead of buying wedding rings  

Getting a tattoo instead of wearing a wedding ring isn't my thing either. I not a tattoo person and the way things are going I never will get married! It isn't in the cards for me!

I am not into tattoo's either. It wouldn't be for me. It seems to be the perfect idea for my friends. I hope they never get divorced or they are screwed!

I think it is a good idea and perfect for my friends. I know they want to spend their life together. I couldn't see either one wearing a wedding ring. The future groom did buy his future bride a engagement ring. She never wears it! This is a better!

Far as I know my friends just wanted the basic black ring tattoo. I couldn't see them having a fancy tattoo design on their ring finger! I couldn't see them wearing wedding rings at all!

I never thought of this being sweet getting wedding ring tattoo's. I look at it their aren't ring wearing and this was another option instead of reall rings. I hope they are together forever!

There are just as many occupations that won't allow a person to wear a wedding ring set (engagement ring, just the wedding band) and other occupations where it's simply unsafe to be wearing jewelry of any kind.

It's a great alternative for people that work in those types of occupations, as well as for those who have problems such as arthritis that may cause their fingers to swell frequently.

zoey7879,

I wonder if you've ever tried tattooing and if you haven't, try checking how it feels like especially when you mention about the arthritis issue.

Tattooing on the finger can be quite an issue and you never know just how sensitive a lady's skin can be. I just feel that this option needs to be taken with due and careful consideration. Any rashness on either part will just be equally damaging.

Have a nice day.

Both of my friends work in food service. So do I and I work with the future groom. He is a cook. So getting a tattoo instead of wearing a wedding ring seems more like a better idea then better! I never thought of this!

blue65packer,

I am just giving my view from another perspective and for people who are not comfortable with tattooing especially on one's fingers. I believe it can be very painful.

I do not know about you but I still would incline towards having wedding rings here. It is not only physically symbolic but the way we choose the rings and inscriptions really tells a lot.

I can understand about the limitations of wearing a ring physically on our fingers due to our jobs or preference but you can always choose to wear the ring in many other ways. Like me, I wear it with my necklace and on special occasions or functions the ring will be found on my finger. Or, you can always wear it in our hearts which is another way of showing our full commitment to our marriage and most of all our spouse.

You sure had a **hole for a first husband and cheap! Yikes! Anyway I hope this two stay together for ever! I know if he would cheat,she'd came after him with a rifle! He knows that too! I hope neither one does! I know this is a risky thing to do the way marriage are today. Only time will tell if this will last or not. I hope it does! We see to many marriages end in divorce!

I have heard of this being done before. It is unique and cool as you say! I know with these tattoo's they can't loose them like real rings!

Tattoo's can be forever. They can be removed if you can afford them and can take the pain! I hope my friends are together forever or as you say "til death do us part"!
