trubella Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 i wonder how many would get a tatt of their SOs name here, with them getting your name as well. i know of 4 long-term couples who did this only one of the 4 have stayed together so far. part of the reason i've always said i would never do something like that, but the bf and i were joking about it last night and he said he would get my name on his arm next week. i didnt take him seriously but he says he will. I dont think its a smart thing to do but if he goes through with it thats on him. cant say i talked him into it.
JohnnyBlaze Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Your parents will always be your parents, and your kids will always be your kids, but there's nothing to say that your spouse will always be your spouse. The only time I'd get a spouse's name inked on me was if she died.
Mahatma Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 a lot of tattoo artists actually WONT do names because of that. I would never do it.
Author trubella Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 didnt know some artists could refuse to do it. but how would they know its a SO, could be someone whose passed etc, would they still refuse?hmm. some of the shops ive been to could care less. i was just looking at a pic of that chic megan fox from the transformers movie, apparently she has her fiances name on her hip. "brian" hmm. wonder how long thatll last. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg192/Sharapovas/megan-fox-panties.jpg if it doesnt last, not many options to remove it, well besides laser treatment or getting it covered up with something else.

I Luv the Chariot OH Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I work with a girl who has three of her exbfs names tattooed on various parts of her body--and yes, they're all EXES I also had an ex who was set on getting my name tattooed on his chest, but I managed to talk him out of it...I bet he's glad I did now!
Shygirl15 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 It's simply a very stupid idea, IMO. JohnnyBlaze, that's a very good point although I still wouldn't put a deceased spouse name on my body. Talk about moving on.
Author trubella Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 so i talked him out of getting my name, instead we've decided to get something symbolic that represents us both(matching tatts) like that idea better.
EYECANDY000 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 One of my exes ended up getting my name tattoed on his arm. at the time he said that he had a surprise for me. and boy was I surprised! It was big as hell! I only have seven letters in my name and the tatto wrapped almost around his entire arm. My first reaction was "why the hell would you do that?" and he was surprised that I responsed so negatively. Needless to say the relationship only lasted 3 months after that. I ended up seeing him a year or so later, but he didnt see me. And he had on a tank shirt. So of course Im standing in the corner biting my nails, waiting for him to turn around so I could see if he ever got it covered up! And sure enough, right as I was about to walk off, from standing in a smelly corner, he turned around. And he got it covered with some huge graphic.
monkey00 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 It's not so bad, if it's small. It can be over-tattooed with something bigger in the future, thus hiding the past. but from a personal standpoint, no I would never nor would I condone a SO to do so.
