I seem to have noticed alot of people or should i say couples getting tattoos with his or her name i want to hear from anyone who has a tat with their lovers name ...dating, married, etc are you thinking of getting one? personally i am(scared and unsure but i do want it)...is there a right or wrong reason for getting one..we all know obviously a tat is not just for christmas its for LIFE. he/she swears you will never break up...realisticly you may well part ways....having kids together is another reason i hear for getting one but do you truely know you will last with that lover? if not your stuck with his/her name inked on you, unless you can or want to get removal surgery does that not leave scares?whatever the reason to get or not get one i want to hear your stories how long you knew eachother how long you've been together. did u split up? is it worth it in the end?

I have tatoos but not with names I just don't think its all that safe to get a tatoo of your you husbands of wifes name. You never know if your actually staying with that person and what is the point. I know a friend that got his first wifes name tatood and he got remeried and hes new wife was so upset when she found out that it was his ex wifes name that she broke two windows on his 65 mustange and she slised all 4 tires. But now he cover that name he had an his left arm with another tatoo and he got his new wifes name on the left side of his chest. That is just craisy so what is he going to do if he gets remerid and that wife is going to ask him to do the same thing. That is why I will never do it.

Tattoo is a form of art and having a name of your lover as tattoo is not wrong. One thing that you will consider also is to think, are you willing to live with this person no matter what happen and the name you have in your body will remain and not to haunt you if you feel relationship with this person is worth?
I have an online friend,He showed to me the tattoo in his arm and that was a heart with a blank name, that he said if he found the girl he will marry he will put it as tattoo.
I ask him what if after years of being together, separation will happen. He answer me that he will choose the right person and if he is wrong in that, he will accept the reality and will not look for another woman.

I know several people with tatoos of their spouses names ect. But none of them are still with that person, as a matter of fact none of the relationships lasted more than 5 years.
And yes the removal does leave scars.

I have asked my boyfriend to put a tattoo on his body if he wants to and if he agrees then he can have my name on his hand, he is willing to do so, well I think it is just a question to agree or disagree by the person who will put a tattoo, if he agrees its ok but if he disagrees its ok too for me.

I have a friend who received matching tattoos with her boyfriend & they broke up because he cheated on her. They were together for a year and they were friends for about 6 months before the relationship. I think it is risky and is not worth it at all.
