in Chit-Chat
So i was wondering if you have a tattoo of the name of your spouse or what are yall thoughts about it? If not name, maybe a picture or something that symbolizes them. For example my spouse loves jordans and i was thinking of getting the jump man insted of his name.

    Do not do a signifcant other's name. Bad idea in my opinion. Only names I will put on my body are those of my children.

    I've always vowed I would not tattoo any names, not even my own. I am thinking about the roman numeral 8 (VIII) to symbolize August, our anniversary month & daughter's birth month

    Personally, I wouldn't do the name. The symbol, maybe. Just my opinion though, if you feel strongly enough that you want to do it, go for it.

    I would never get a spouses/Significant other name or picture tattooed on me but if I had kids I could get their names tattooed. Your children will always be your children. You don't know what will happen down the road where you might not want a name/picture of a girl/guy on your body. Maybe something that reminded you of them or get matching tattoos as long as it is something you both are happy with.

    No on the spouse. I know a couple of artists who won't do names if they know it's a SO. They're superstitious and think it'll doom the relationship.

    I do have my kid's initials on my back.

    I agree with this - except I have a slightly longer list of acceptable names. Children (of course), parents or siblings. And pets (since that's the only "child" I have...).

    I steer away from SO names, 'cause (sad but true) you never know what's going to happen there.

    I have to agree. I would never get a tattoo of a SO name & I have 9 tattoos. Childrens names are fine & I actually think the little jump man is a cute idea.

    wow, seriously?

    You would put MICHAEL JORDAN'S logo on your body? for someone else?

    The only person I'd ever tattoo anything for is my Mom. And even then, it's a debate.

    Names are such a boring idea anyway! Get creative, people!

    I have vines and flowers of all our birthstones on my back (I have 6 kids, so lots of flowers). DH was going to get my name tattoo on him along with kids' names...but that would be a huge laundry list, so he did a cross with Psalms 127:5 to represent all of the kids. When he wanted to put my name I was like NOOOOO!!! haha! He says he still wants my name on him...so I will let him! ;)

    Had one of my ex-boyfriend, and recently got it covered up with an elephant! My opinion is don't tattoo anyone's name on our body unless they gave birth to you, or you gave birth to them!

    I'd definitely do a symbol but not their name.

    I don't do names in ink, but if I did I would probably limit it to my children and maybe the Mrs.... But there would have to be a compelling argument...

    I was thinking of doing this too. So strange. I always said never and now look at me. It's madness! I was going to do this person's signature which is pretty much illegible to anyone but me.

    I would never get anyone's name tattooed on me, ever.

    I was convinced, thoroughly convinced! that my ex was the one for me for years and years and years.

    Now, if I ever run into him, I'd hope he would fall into a sinkhole like this girl on her cellphone did:

    It's bad joojoo. Don't ever get names of anyone except maybe parents or children, or relatives that may have passed on.

    People change sometimes in very bad ways that you can't predict. Sometimes they just go looneytunes. Or they were always that way and you just couldn't see it before.

    I would have to disagree with that iam_

    I have been in a relationship with my love going on 12 years now......we both have quite a few tats, and we would never get our names on each other......You can't predict the future.....and the only person you know you are going to be with forever, is yourself....

    I wouldn't get a tattoo of a SO name. But I also don't have any tattoos and don't know if I ever will get any.

    I wouldn't get someone's name on me...because if it doesn't work out, then you are either stuck with it or you have to pay again for a new tattoo to recover it. I've heard it too many times...including my husband who had to cover his ex-wifes name.

    No because in the future if I ever need to evade the police I don't want any marks of identification.

    I obviously do not have a ton of reservation in regards to tattoo's however i would never get a lovers name .. including my husbands . I have too many friends that have fallen pray to the endless list of ex's scaling their bodies like ruins in morgue.. I think children are fine , family what have you .. been trying to get my husband to get Family man on his stomach for years.. lol.. think it would be super sexy .. I am not opposed to any one else choices per se its just the choice for me.

    Never a name. A symbol is cool.
