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

this is not the first time i have heard of this though. i think it is also a good alternative, however, that if the marriage goes south, they are stuck with that tat and the memories it brings, right?

different idea that's for sure. probably cheaper as well, rather than buying rings. i don't wear rings nor extra jewelery that often, only when i go out. cause of what i do work wise, in case i lose something or it gets caught and will do damage. best of luck to them.

That is an interesting idea. It makes it harder to lose the ring and can't make excuses as to why they aren't wearing it. Instead just a black ring they could have some sort of design too make it a little more decorative or something. I realy like that idea.

My nephew & his wife did this when they got married. I guess I'm just too old to see the reason for it. When I got married the first time, I thought it was for life!!! Two years later he was sleeping with every female he could find in the state. I am soooo thankful that ALL I had to do was remove the ring he had given me. As it turned out, the ring he gave me had been given to a previous girlfriend & he gave it to me because it fit & didn't cost him anything. My niece-in-law said Atleast he can't take his ring off if he sees another girl he likes. I just wonder how the other woman is supposed to know it's a wedding ring??? When the divorce comes, it won't be so easy to take off the ring!!!

The thought is sweet but I am not a fan as well of getting a tattoo. But isn't it just sweet to have tattoo rings instead of the actual rings. If I were to be there I would mop a bit because the thought is nice and it would forever remind you of the promise you have made to each other.

wow the couple are very cool and very unique. its my first time to hear that instead of rings they got tattoo. i think it is much better than rings because you could not misplace it unlike the rings.

A tattoo is there forever, what a wonderful way to show their committment to each other.

blue65packer, I must agree that this idea is indeed uncommon and ingenious. However, it could not be applied generally because certain occupations like the civil service or modeling that does not encourage tattoos. So, people will have to know of their work restrictions and professions before engaging such an idea. Also, there will be certain quarters that aren't keen or never like tattoos. Doing this without the other party's consideration will also be a bane or puts a strain on their relationships. Have a nice day.

I wish we would have thought of that when we got married. That's a really great idea. We are still though planning on putting tattoos on our ring finger when we can. I think it shows the other hey I love you and I'm in this forever. And a tattoo is a pretty permanent thing that really can't be removed at all.

i think so. and that is the matter of showing their belief in each other. a tattoo will be life long and a ring can be thrown or lost in cases. but a tattoo could show that they did this for each other in future even. so it is just a matter of feelings and nothing else. what ever its a good idea.

I guess if it is what they want to do then that's great. I have to be honest and say that it's not the sort of thing I would do, I just don't like tattoo's.

That idea I won't buy. Real rings can be disposed anytime while tattoos!? you would have to cut your fingers should you decide to take it out. There could be an underlying meaning to it since tattoos can stick longer and even permanently than the real ones... and that is what precisely marriage is all about... sticking to one another despite all problems...

Im honestly not a fan of this. I guess that if you dont wear jewlery and you want to do the tatoo thing and you truly love each other enough to know youll always be together then its good. But i just am not the type of person to get a tattoo on my finger, no matter for what,
