What’s you opinion on a tattoo of your partners name on you?

I have a tattoo that takes up most my forearm of my partners name. Everyone is making a big deal out of it. . . I really don’t see the big deal. I don’t see us ever breaking up but if worst comes to worst then really its just a tattoo. . It’s just a name. And personally, i’ve had a boyfriend with a tattoo of an ex and i really didntncare cos it’s just a name.

  1. My opinion is that it is a bad idea, and simply unnecessary, you never know whats going to happen with him, and there are many other tattoos you can get

    i personally think its a bad idea to get ur bf or gf name on u unless it really serious like if u are engaged but that me its ur body do what u want wit it its not like u can cover it up if anythin happens

    I would never do that because with my luck we would break up. And I hate tattoos anyways.

  4. To be honest i personally wouldn’t have one , but that’s me. It sounds like your ok with the whole thing so why worry what others think. Lets face it if you decide he isn’t the one theres always the possibility of a cover up.

  5. I think wait until you get married for a couple of years to make sure its secure if you REALLY want to do that. Sure ALOT of people want to have a peice of their partner on their skin. Even Kat in an LA ink episode got a tattoo of her spouse’s face. I say WHY NOT! As long as you know he is committed to you. or she

  6. Personally, I would never do it. I love my boyfriend with all my heart, but I wouldn’t do it. But it’s your body, your choice, don’t let anyone tell you to not like something you like. If you’re happy with it, who cares.

    Tattoo superstition says that anyone who has their lovers name tattooed on them will break up within the year.

    “i’ve had a boyfriend with a tattoo of an ex and i really didntncare cos it’s just a name. ”

    Why would you? It wasn’t tattooed on you. He may have had problems with it though.

  8. It’ll bug some people more than others – some won’t like having an ex’s name scarred on them for life. Maybe they had a bad break-up or the guy turned out to be a bit of an idiot, and they don’t want the constant reminder of it. Its a pretty big gesture to make, considering its with you forever, so getting such an unpredictable, thing on you is a pretty risky.

    There are some ex’s that now repulse me, the idea of having their name on me forever makes me slightly sick to think about.

    My first serious boyfriend died when I younger, so I got him initial incorporated into an existing design, because the way I feel about him can’t really change. Its a tribute to someone that my feelings towards can’t change – I think this is okay.

    Also, I think it can look trashy unless done right, but that’s just personal opinion.

    IT’s done now, and you wouldn’t be the first person with an ex’s name tattooed on them and you wouldn’t be the first to want to cover up an ex’s name. I personally would caution anyone from getting this. I love tattoos, am liberal, am middle aged, have tons of tattoos, and do have a partner now for almost 2 yrs and we decided that we would both get an eagle. This is the first time I’ve done this. I’ve got mine, its traditional and its on my inner arm and he’s looking back over his shoulder. He wants to get his on his calf, wings spread, flying, realistic, carrying the American flag, so they will look a lot different, and be a nice reminder of our time together should it come to an end instead of an eyesore that makes people uncomfortable. My ex husband’s partner does have an ex’s name on her. Her’s is a bit different, he died tragically by his own hand. My ex isn’t a fan of tattoos and he particularly doesn’t like the name but he understands why she has it and supports it. Best of luck.
