    I never have and I never will. Its a taboo thing to do in the tattoo community, kind of a curse of sorts.

    Taboo in the tattoo community? Never heard that before. Would I do it personally, no. However I don't think there's anything wrong with it. My tattoo artist has his wife's name tattooed on him. Looks awesome, he loves her. If they should ever split, a tattoo right on top of it would fix the problem.

    I've seen that it's a kiss of death to a relationship. Everyone I know, And I mean EVERYONE that gets one the relationship fails soon after.

    Does anyone have their significant others name tattooed on them? If so, where?

    Mine is on my right calf.

    I am getting my children's initials done mixed into the vines of my next tattoo but debating on the husband's initials bove with them (above theirs). He is a main branch of our children but still not sure. I do have the Star of David with the cross inside for my husband and I as well as our children. But I think that is as far as I go.

    I personally dont have one but I am not against it at all, just choose wisely as to where you are going to get it. Dont be like that girl in the paper with her boyfriend of 1 week's name across her face, thats not a great idea!

    A girl I used to work with had her baby's daddy's nickname tattoo'd on her neck. "Nutt"

    She was pretty classy.

    Super classy. I'm a little jealous.

    I love mine, it's small and private (its usually covered by my underwear) and I think it's beautiful

    pics?
    Pics of what?

    The tattoo, but I see that it was there after I quoted it. My work computer blocks all pics.

    My one and only tattoo has no names. But I have a design that is very specific to my husband and kids, so when I look at it, I know it is about them, and it will always be about them. The only text I have is a message to myself. Something I wanted to be reminded of everyday.

    That's pretty bleak alright. Forever is longer than any tattoo will last. Only death could part my husband and me, no doubt.

    I actually asked him after he got his first tat with her name if he thought it was a good idea, and he responded "Why? Because someday in the future we might get a divorce? That's stupid. I don't live my life planning around the thought that the woman I'm madly in love with may leave, or that I would leave her. I plan to live my life as if we'll be together forever. To think about the possibility of divorce in the future is more of a bad omen for our relationship than a tattoo could ever be. If I'm expecting a divorce, than I'll always be kind of guarded around her, and I don't want to live like that."

    Hm...I was always in the "no way would I do that" camp, but this was actually pretty convincing. If I was ever married to someone, I might consider something that was symbolic of that person to me. I probably wouldn't get just a name, but that's mostly because, to me, names make kind of boring tats, unless they're worked into the design of something.

    Not bleak at all :-)

    I would NEVER get my wife's name as a tattoo. We have been together for a short while (41 years).

    I just do not get the idea behind tattoos!

    Just one person's opinion :-)

    Never! I would get my kids, but that's it when it comes to names.

    I personally think that's crap but ok. Lol people who believe a tattoo can "curse" a relationship of any kind are ridiculous.

    I'm glad someone else agrees with me. I feel sorry for these people. Just how "significant" is this other person? My husband is the most significant person in the world. Even if he passes away, he will still have my eternal love.
