in Chit-Chat
For certain medical reasons I can not wear a wedding ring and haven't been able to for the past 7 years. We were just talking last night and she pitched an idea for our 20th wedding anniversary which is in 4 years. After hearing what she wanted to do, i was ready to get it done today, if possible. Permanent wedding rings.

Sort of along the idea of this

    I've heard of that idea. I'd have no problem with it.

    Go for it!!

    My husband and I have something similar, we don't have rings but we do have the Chinese symbols for pleasure and promise. We promise to make each other happy for the rest of our lives. We got them on our 19th anniversary.

    I say do it! Do it now!!!

    Great idea! Loving the Celtic knotwork as well. My band has a Celtic knotwork spinner on it. Congratulations to you both :smile:

    A guy I used to work with did it with his wife. It's not that uncommon so if you want to do it, do it.

    I think it's a great idea. Be prepared to hear snide comments from individuals though.

    My daughter got tattoos on her wrists. On one wrist it says "It's hard to say goodbye..." On the other, "...when we hardly said hello." A customer came into her convenience store and made a rude comment about supposing that she did such an ignorant thing for some fly by night boyfriend. He shut up right quick AND apologised when she informed him, first, that it was none of his business and, second, that she had it done in memory of her newborn baby that had passed away at 28 hours old just a few months before.

    I do think that tattoos are less"offensive" to people as more and more of the world is getting them.

    I've said many times if I ever get married I don't want a diamond, just a ring tattoo. I think it's a great visible way to honor a lifetime commitment, and congrats to you and your wife for finding that!

    It's a very cute idea. My bf and I always talk about doing that when it's time to get married. Neither of us wears rings/jewelry.

    I think that's really nice. From what I've heard, that's a painful area to get inked, so good luck!

    i've seen it before...think it's great. go for it. for running's sake, it'd be better to have a ring tattoo cuz fingers swell.

    I love it. Hubby and I both wear rings but we want to get our wedding date on the inside of the ring finger to go with it.

    My in-laws have claddaghs tattooed on their wedding fingers because she can't wear jewelry at her job.
    It's sweet and amazing.
