I know there is going to be a huge variety of answers here, so type away!
For me, I would never dream of such a thing. A marriage is never guaranteed, never. Sure, you can have dreams and hopes that your marriage will last forever but people change, things happen and you just never know what life throws your way!
Now my children, yes, I would tattoo their names on my body (if you are the tattoo type) because I know my babies are my babies for life and that is a different situation. Thoughts? Opinions?
When I was 16 (1994ish) I managed to get a tattoo on my lower back with my then boyfriends initials. My parents had no idea and it was with a homemade tattoo gun. Stupid I know. We did stay together until about age 19 but I had this lovely (not) tattoo on my back. Then on my 3rd anniversary (2002-03 ish) with my now ex-husband, we both got a tattoo of a konji sign that meant eternity. It was on my stomach. We were divorced before our 7th anniversary. Finally, in 2012, I had them both covered up with something else. I am remarried and have a total of 6 kids (his, mine & ours). I will never do anything like that again. I did get a tattoo that represented the kids, that’s no problem. I have nothing against tattoos (I have 7), but I will never make the mistake again to do something regarding my spouse. I do believe with all my heart, we are in it for the long haul, but I won’t do it again.
In theory yes I would because I believe marriage is a sure thing. I can’t control anyone, but I know I made the promise for always, and that’s something I will never take back or be ashamed of no matter what. That being said I have no worries about my hubby straying or whatever, but again, I could never regret any time I have spent with him. But ouch! I got a tat at 19, it took 3 hrs and it hurt!!! Never again!
Funniest thing I saw was a neck tat on a woman, which read Jessie’s girl. Only Jessie was crossed out.
Best,
fanged bunny
It’s the relationship kiss of death so…no. I have a friend who got a tattoo of his wife’s name (and his…like a “Jack & Jill Forever” kind of message) after something like 13 years of marriage and she up and left him a year later. Crazy.
.
definitely not! but not a fan of tattoos!
I would NEVER willingly tattoo anything on my body, much less a boyfriend or husband’s name.
I won’t tattoo anyone’s name on my body. Images representing them (like a dragonfly for my daughter) but not names.
No, I would never tattoo a name on my body. I do have a tattoo. Always wanted a second one but just got distracted.
A marriage can be a guarantee, if you make it one, btw. That’s what marriage in fact means --through sickness,poverty, etc.
No way.
No names on my person.
I do have a tattoo.
But I would never do any names.
Nope.
The only names I would get are my kids’, but I prefer images.
Only if it’s a situation where I believe that I can look back after a breakup and consider our time together so significant as to be memorialized forever on my person. It likely wouldn’t be visible to the general public. I have my best friend’s name on me, and we don’t speak anymore, but that was a hell of a time in my life that I wouldn’t take back.
Some people use tattooing as a way to chronicle significant moments, as a living, breathing journal of their lives. It all really depends on what this particular art form means to the person and how he/she wants to use it.
No. I have 5 tattoos (2 are the name/dob of my boys disguised in a design created by my husband) but I will not tattoo my husband’s name on my body. My boys are my forever and as committed as I am to my husband/marriage (together 19 years, married 11) I would not put his name on my body.
No, I wouldn’t. However, I might tattoo a symbol of love or that reminds me of that person if they were a part of my life. I don’t have a tattoo, but if I were to get one or more, I’ve thought of numerous designs or symbols I would get to represent this life I’ve lived…I would personally NEVER tattoo anyone’s name (even my kids names).
I do have tattoos but no I would not put any mans name except God, my father, or my sons. You just never know what will happen and you may not want your spouses name on you forever.
No.
I don’t do tattoo’s.
My husband and my son are forever in my heart.
I don’t need ink injected under my skin to express/display my feelings.
Hell no.
Babies, yes. A man? No.
No.
But I often write T + E with a heart around it on the windshield of his car when there’s a frost.
Cuz that’s just how badass I am.
I have loved my husband since we were 13 years old. Now in our 50’s. No I would never tattoo his name on my body.
I do remember using a Bic Blue ink pen to write his name on my hand, but I was a child then.
I will not “mark the temple” with permanent ink.
