Why would you ever get your BF's or GF's name tattooed on your body?

Youre in the moment, you think its going to last forever, or you wish it would. Couples dont think it our clearly. Love does these crazy things to you.

Me and my fiance had matching tattoos drawn up that are a zombie couple with a banner underneath that says “I do” and then the date we will be married. I usually dont agree with people getting names tattooed on them and of course i know theres always a chance we wont be together forever. However, he will always be a part of my life as my childrens father and he will always be my past, im not one to just erase my past and forget about it.

i would never do that.even if i were married to that person because unless your willing to pay probably thousands to get it removed its going to leave an ugly mark on you. my grandpa had “betty” tattooed onto his arm while in the army and got very embarrassed when asked if my Nan,whos name is Irene,was Betty. And if a boyfriend of mine wanted my name tattooed on him i would make him change his mind unless he wants to find another person called Elizabeth lol.

Well the only names I have on my body are my son’s names. My sons will be my boys forever. Like I said in another post, the only way my wife’s name would end up on my body is if she past before me, but other than that is is bad luck.

I think it is more of the act of trying to show more love than what you have. People that post and say I love someone else to the world seem to, in the end separate. instead of that tattoo I think the best way to show your love is through your actions. That will tattoo better in her mind than that tattoo on your arm.

I would if I were in love with them, just the symbolic meaning of it, that it will be there forever, even if your not in the relationship forever. It means you’ll never forget them, and no matter what in some part of your body you’ll always love them :) Just my opion, :)

i dnt think i would ever tattoo someones name on my body.,youh never know if ur life with that person is going to end with a heartbreak

I do not see why you would ever get anything on your body, even if it just represent them, if they are not a guaranteed permanent fixture in your life.

It’s a stupid thing to do, but I would do it. I don’t really have a reason “why” I would do it, I guess just because I can lol. If I got my boyfriend’s name tattooed on me, I would keep it small and simple. Nothing huge and really noticeable.

I wouldn’t ever do anything for a boyfriend, I’m quite sure. On the other hand, because I plan to choose my husband carefully and never marry someone I have the slightest doubt about, I do plan to get a small tattoo, his initials, in the crease on the inside of my ring finger. I do realize that it’s a painful spot, and that it’ll have to be redone because it’s a place that fades easily, but it’ll be small enough to be hidden by the wedding band, while right in the open, and meaningful to me. I’ve always been conservative, no extra piercings or tattoos; it’ll effectively represent, to me, a new stage in life, one that I’m committed to.

Well as much as you may plan, you can never see in the future. I was always told that this is bad luck. I hope that with my actions my love is tattooed on my wife’s heart like she is tattooed on mine.

For me personally if i’m 80 or so and still with the same man I shall get a tattoo representing them. No sooner. At that point your kinda in it for the long run…or were So hell why not :)

That’s a great philosophy, really. But saying it’s bad luck is just superstition. I gladly show my boyfriend how much I love him constantly, and I’ll love him even if we part, but once I’m married, I’m married. I’ll probably have practically lived with the guy, if not literally lived with him, for a few years before taking the plunge. It’s an important decision, and I’m not going to have any doubts when I decide on it. The tattoo is nothing but a reminder, a sense of satisfaction in the fact that I’m sure enough about it to have it etched into me. It’s tasteful, small, something I could show our children if they’d like to see, and a constant part of me.

i think people do it to show off their loyalty to their partner or to show off their partner. most times its in the moment until people break up and your stuck with their name on their body for the rest of their life if they dont chose to painfully get it removed ahhahaha.

I can see where this turns into a problem, but it doesn’t really matter if you get their last name tattooed on you, if you get your last name changed when you get married. If you have children with the person, that person will always be a part of your life regardless… They stick with you forever until the death of both your child… Sometimes I think that getting your girlfriend’s or boyfriend’s name tattooed on you at a young age… You’re just trying to buy their love. Or trying to wrap them around your finger as I look at it. If anything, I’d much rather make a vow to the person, saying, “You’re on my heart just like a tattoo.”

He could always say its Betty Boop ;) Lol

But sometimes people make stupid decisions when their upset or mad.. & then they end up cheating… Loyalty can turn into disaster sometimes. Nothing is ever really a true committment…

Getting a bf or gf’s name tattooed on you is a curse! lol… Once you do it, it’s only a matter of time before you will end up breaking up.. (just from what I have seen) But the only reason I would ever get my gf or wifes name on me was if A) it was a tattoo of my family tree, or B) if they passed away…

NEVER if you broke up with that person it would be a big mistake you would really regret it all the way…..
