Marriage tattoo

me and my boy are planning to get tattooed rings, that way such a decision as marriage would be more bonding I think, because not only would you seriously have to think about your relationship if you wanted a divorce, but I wouldnt have to worry about losing it down the drain or something. I'm thinking matching celtic bands, but I'm open to suggestion aswell. We arent shacking up any time soon, but we are enganged

 

hey thats a cool idea! i noe..i think wearing a wedding ring 24-7 wud be annoying, so i thikn 'when i get married, we're jus gonna get tatoo rings'

p.s - is that u guys in the pic? if so, very cute and happy couple and congrats on bein engaged!!!

 

yeah me and my fiance were thinking bout it but I already bought her a decent engagment ring so whatever.

 

I think that's an awsome idea, I want to do that sometime.
I was just married so we are going and getting tattoos to celebrate, I'm getting the celtic endless knot, with our wedding date on it. I thought it would be perfect!!
well good luck with you and your man! much love always,
Hollie*

 

i know this may be personal, but what occupations do u both have?
its a great idea, but u may get baggered if u have an occupation that cares about ur image!!!

 

Yeah, but if the occupation is that anal, it's a really simple tattoo to cover up...all she has to do is wear a regular ring over it...


It's a nice idea...and you guys are an adorable couple...

 

yeah the marriage date would be a good idea on the tattoo...esp. for the guy..so he can ALWAYS remeber the anniversary hehe!

 

Not personal at all! I work at the Minnesota Renniassance Festival, as does he, and we plan to do Renniassance festivals all over the u.s., I wouldnt allow my occupation to interfere with my love anyway. I live the way I do, and there are plenty of outlets for me, I just need to look in the right places.

 

i think tatoo rings are a great and personal idea. good luck.........

 

what a lovely & romantic idea..i know for me personaly i wouldnt feel the need for any sort of symbol..like a ring.. but..a tat ring is a very romantic idea & definately has the perminence you hope for..so yea..go for it
& u r adorable

 

I don't want to be a downer here, but I feel I must play the devils advocate. While the romantic in me wants to rejoice at your decition and give a big awwww, that is so sweet. The practical side just has ask, you sure thats a good idea? I know it seems like it will be forever, and i hope it is, but dosn't it always? should the unthinkable happen you will have to carry it with you to your next relationship, and will that fair to them?. this thread is somewhat ironic, one of those weird small world things, I met a girl this weekend who I was imediatly atracted to and wasn't going to ask her out because of she had one on her finger, fortunently she noticed my reaction when i saw it and explained or i would have missed a very fun weekend. the best to you both, and congrates

 

i have to agree with steffan here...but then again i am only a couple weeks from divorce...and i know he has gone through one too....also i have so many acquaintances in my life who also have had this done and now they sit with tattoos on their fingers that show their history.....
if you do it, do the ring and not the name...i had a girlfriend who got his name tattooed on her finger...and well now, it will always remind her of what was.....
i love the idea though...i think its awesome...i just hope that if you select to do it, you think it from all angles.....noone would have convinced me i would be getting divorced either....

and steffan *cheers to a fun weekend*

 

when you are growing up and learning to make decisions whether right or wrong, its always a learning experience. I see love as a concept too large for the human being to completely grasp, and often the decisions made by us backfire. I have often worried that this would happen, and wondered of the consequences of our decision to some day get married. Infact we never really wanted to get married for the longest time, thinking of how it could possibly turn sour for us. But I also know that if you dont try, you'll never succeed. I feel confident that even if I were to end up divorcing in the future, the emotions tightly sealed in a small tattoo would be everlasting, even if I hate his guts then, I'd still be fond of our memories together, and I know that if we were to break up now for some reason, I'd still be fond of what memories we have. I guess it's all how you look at it. But I agree about tattooing the name

 

that's so weird, my fiancee and I actually have the same idea... not celtic bands, but tattooed rings
The reason our idea for that came about was because he had an engagement ring of his own from me, and lost it... 3 times until finally it was gone for good
He loses everything--everything

Great minds think alike!

 

then you have thought about it and you are coming from it from a pure heart. i bow to your decision and wish you many congratulations its a beautiful thing and i wasnt trying to be a downer, just trying to give another point of view.....no matter what though, i still believe in love...and i am glad you two have found it

 

I love celtic knot/thread work, my suggestion is that the tattoo
not form a complete circle. Leaving it open will allow energy
to flow through the relationship more. The Pythagoreans also
had similar views about closed circles.

 

my mother got a tattoo chain link for her divorce. there were 20 links for the 20 years they were together, and the 21 link was broken. She still loves my father to death, but she's not in love with him. He actually lived with us for over a year after their divorce.

 

that is really neat....and its beautiful when they can still be friends....my soon to be exhusband and i are finally to that point...its been a lot of work and alot of patience...but finally....

and its strange, he just recently started wearing his band again....which, of course, lol....is celtic knots

 

See I work out at the Renniassance festival, have for 9 years, and part of the time I worked out at the Irish cottage, so I've seen some pretty celtic knots. ITs one thing to just pick a knot for it being pretty, it's another thing when it symbolizes something special to you, thats why I dont know if I want a celtic ring band. tattoos I feal should symbolize alot for you, a wedding band goes right along with that. My mom has another tattoo of a dove with a rose in it's mouth on her breast; the dove signifies my mother, and the rose signafies her best friend, whom at the time died of cancer, that was over 5 years ago.

 

Doesnt gettin a tattoo hurt?? I mean I'm gonna get one some day but ouch!!!!
