Would you get tatted for your bf/gf/whatever-f?

I would never get a partner's name / portrait tattooed on me. Tattoos are forever*. Relationships don't always work out.

* Yes, I'm aware there is "tattoo removal" but this basically just messes up your skin where the tattoo was or requires covering it with a darker/bigger tattoo.

 

It really, really, really depends.

If I'm thinking of getting a tattoo for my muffin, I want to be 100% sure that our relationship won't just go to sh*t.

Names? Not a chance. :lol:

It should be something small and not too spontaneous, like half a heart or something...

 

I love my partner, but I wouldn't. Name/portrait tattoos are like an omen, and are bound to bring you bad luck. The tattoo removal process is painful and expensive, and coverups sometimes don't work unless you find a miracle worker. They aren't worth it.

 

Names or dates i definitly wouldnt do for a partner for the same reason daydreamer said about the omen, though i think i would get something like a design of some sort to show or be a reminder of the relationship. Though that relationship would have to be a strong one for me to even want to do that in the first place.

 

Absolutely not. I won't get a tattoo of a favorite band or symbol or animal of whatever that does mean a lot to me. Tattoos are not my thing. Wanna show part of you? Get a T-shirt. Get 10 and wear the same one ever day.

With that said, if tattoos are you thing, right on. I won't stop anyone else nor will I ever judge anyone for getting one (or 50, or whatever). Just not for me.

 

Never, ever ever.

I don't at all understand people that do that. It's not worth it at all. There are many other ways to show/prove your love to your partner.

 

I have a tattoo dedicated to my ex and I don't mind it at all. It references a specific portion of my life and when I look at it I remember all the good memories and everything I learned from our relationship.

Even if you don't have a tattoo, you still bear their signature in one way or another--doesn't matter if you also have a visual variety or not.

 

Simply no.

 

Nope.

 

I'm also the one who has the most insight into the issue. Take that as you will.

 

No way. How dreadfully tacky.

Then again, I can't see myself getting any kind of tattoo, so it's really a non-issue for me.

 

If I would be having a tattoo it would only because I wanted to.

 

heeeelllllllll nop

 

No way. Not even if we're married.

 

I wouldn't do it "for" my boyfriend/girlfriend, I'd do it for myself, but I'm not completely opposed to the idea, no.
Names would probably be off the table, but a design or even words that mean something special to us and our relationship I would consider, if I wanted to get a tattoo. (Which is a pretty big caveat, but unrelated to the relationship aspect.)
I doubt I would try to get it removed or altered after the relationship ended (if it did), because I've never felt like there's much point in regretting the past. I like to hold on to the good stuff, and move on from the rest -- and if I got a tattoo about someone, there must have been a lot of good stuff, at least at some point.

 

Names, no. I think theyre ugly anyway, but a design or something which reminds me of that person, sure. Yeah tattoos are forever, but so are memories, so whats the difference?

 

I wouldn't. And if my partner/significant other thought that meant I loved them less, the problem would be on their end, not mine. Aaaand the relationship might not be as strong, then, if they required such a thing from me in order to feel loved.

I don't believe in grand gestures and having things/items (like tattoos or rings) represent love, I'd rather people show their love through little everyday actions.

 

Hell no, there's just far too great a chance of something bad happening there, and having a permanent reminder inked on your skin.


A dead relative or something, sure. But never a significant other. Very much so not recommended.
