do I get his name

im getting married soon and my partner asked if I would ever get his name tattooed on me, I was going to get it done for him as a wedding present and suprise him the night of our wedding. is it wise to get his name?

 

no

 

if you get a tattoo done for someone else there is a way bigger chance of you regretting it. tattoos are personal decorations, lifetime committments that even more solid than interpersonal committments - i wouldn't recommend getting one as a surprise just for someone else.

ultimately, it's your choice, but that's my two cents...

 

I wouldn't

I don't want anyone's name on my body. Heck, I don't think I want any writing on my body, not in any language other folks can read with ease at least

Why not get something commemorative, but not his name - so that you can at least interpret it differently if you guys break up, or where it isn't so obvious that you have to get it removed before dating again (not saying that you guys definitely will break up, but statistically speaking there is a decent chance of it happening, better safe than sorry imho)

 

not a wise thing to have permanently placed on your body....names in ink never mean forever.....I have seen alot of cover-up work done to cover up names that were unwisely placed

 

Why don't you get a symbol of something that represents your relationship instead of just his name? Sometimes symbols mean more than just simply a name. *shrugs* just a thought.

 

NO.

Unless you like the name itself and the name is symbolic of other things dear (or dearer) to you, I would not get anyone's name tattooed.

Relationships are ephemeral, dynamic and never static. It's wonderful you're willing to show your commitment, but it may be wiser thinking of the long run.

It's your call.

 

Don't do it to it. Why don't you guys get a small matching tattoo or something? It seems even more meaningful to get tattoos together. They don't even have to match. Just don't do the name.

 

i always said, unless their dead or related, dont get their name.

 

as far as names in general, I've always planned on getting kids names (assuming I have them) just as a way for them to always know how much their mommy loves them..anyways though

I think it would be a little smarter to get a symbol rather than a name right away, I mean get something in his favorite color, or his favorite animal or something related to your first date or how you two met..something like that...that way it will mean alot to you both, but i would never say 100%T dont get his name....i really could see myself getting my husbands name for like a 25th wedding anniv. or something like that...when the relationship has stood the test of time for a long while..y aknow?

just my opinion

PS: I think that is a really sweet surprise, and I didnt think you were doing it just for him...i totally get how that tat would mean alot to you botyh

 

why not get matching wedding band tattoos? i LOVE the idea

 

Only if his name is Bubba. Then get it, with a big heart and arrow through it.

That would be mad sweet.

 

its cute but really no different to getting a name. I mean if they split up, she's still got this wedding band round her finger, that she cant take off, even if she finds another lover.

 

My sentiments exactly. You just never know what's going to happen down the road. I like the symbol idea. Peace.

 

Wait until you're 50th wedding anniversary. If you make it that far, go for it.
But, do what you want. Don't let anyone tell you what and what not to do. But, ask him to do the same....see if his reaction is any different. I almost guarentee it will be....unless he's REALLY desperate.

 

If you do that, it's basically gaurenteeing (sp?) that you'll break up.....it's just a bad omen.
My dh and I are getting matching tatoos of our daughter and future kids to come....even if we do some day go our seperate ways, we'll always have our kids in common, so it's really not that risky.
The idea sounds romantic, but yeah, there's some things that are just best avoided.

 

he wont have a tattoo


he leaves them for me

 

the aftercare is no prob had many other tattoos can you suggest a symbol coz i havent got a clue

 

You're hesitating. What does that say about the whole thing?
