Wedding Tattoos... Do or Don't?

Riki: my FH's nicname is Wolf!

My fiance and I got matching tattoos the very first weekend we began dating. We knew from the beginning.. that being said. I had over a dozen large tattoos prior to that one and it was his very first (and still his only) one. It is a blended aquarius/capricorn symbol with colors fading from red on top to purple in the middle and blue on the bottom. We have them on our ankles and plan on getting something after the wedding but not sure yet of what. Everyone is entitled to their opinion/superstitions but in the end its your own personal choice and your gut/heart/brain will win out with what you really want in the end.

I agree that names are risky...but I have his and he has mine. lol

I always joke if we divorce i will legally change my name to Alex because no way am I going over it. That was my most painful one.

I'm not exempt from divorce but I am an older bride (43) so I figure "Eh if it's on my body who cares at this point"

DH and I are getting one done. DH LOVES to fish and I just started recently doing it & now I love it to. Here is our tattoo we are going to get... It says "Greatest Catch"

I'd say don't, I'd never do it. With that being said, it's your wedding, do what you want!

Booooo....Purple Sun

: ) I love tat's but you better have a good artist or they can look horrible!

Yeah after talking to FH he said it sounded cheesy, so it kind of got vetoed lol!

The man I'm marrying has a tattoo of his first marriage wedding anniversary. D'oh!

I don't think I would get matching or wedding tattoo's w/ my FH - it's not that I don't think we will be together forever but it's just not my thing.

I would love for him to write "iloveyou" on a piece of paper and have that tattooed on my hip but i don't want to do anything until we are done having kids - I have one tattoo that is a little skewed from when I was pregnant.

The other one I was considering was "i do" tattooed very small on my hand under where my wedding band will set - but - that could get dicey if we broke up and i think it would hurt waaaaaaay more than i can deal with.

We are doing it underneath our rings! Don't know what yet but we both want to.

I think it's a jinx. I've seen more people with tattoos divorced, than still together.

My dad's girlfriend has a coverup on her neck. It said her husbands name. He was mean to her, she told him to go die, and then he got into a car accident. You don't want that to happen.

My FH and I picked out something we both liked, and are getting that in different places with different desgins, but the same base. We're getting the Tri-Force from the Legend of Zelda. Mine is going in the middle of my chest tattoo and is going to have llighteneing and storm clouds circling it. His is just going to be the Tri-force. We're avoiding the jynx of getting matching tattoos that way.

My brother and his girlfriend got matchng tattoos after being together for 6 months. They settled on a word and got the same word but different designs they each came up with. Of course they got tattooed together. The tattooes are on their forearms.

Needless to say, after less than a year of being together, their relationship is over. So now they both have tattooes that will be constand reminders of each other.

I do believe stuff like that is a jinx of your relationship.
