    Hell no. That is cray cray.

    Tatts are personal and private to you. At least they should be, so you should never get one to please someone else. That way leads to destruction. And regrets, big time. I always follow the two rules of tattooing:

    1) think before you ink
    2) never drink and ink


    I think if the tattooie suggests that they get a tatt to commemorate something about another person, it should never be due to that person pressuring or asking for it to be done.

    Tbh I think it's a bit creepy. Like, "hey... I have you on my arm :wink:"

    No way. I'd be apprehensive about tattoos already. But get a tattoo for someone I'm dating? Uh uh. Nope.

    Depends on what it was, and if I also wanted it!

    I did get a tattoo (tribal design that spans my chest) as my boyfriend held my hand for the two hours it took, and we're still together after many years, so even though this wasn't getting a tattoo 'for' him, it often feels like a kind of bond of kinship.

    I would never do this. Married or not! I've known quite a few people who go through with this and then break up so I wouldn't do it

    I don't do tattoos. If I did, it is very personal. So, it would be only for me. No bf or gf influenced ink.

    No because my mom got a tattoo for her fucking bf that I hate so much when my dad and her separated. Dumbass move.

    Personally I'm not into tattoos in general, and unless I was sedated you would never get me in the chair in the first place. I hate needles, complete and totally and even in the docs they need to take precautionary measures incase I go out cold.

    No. Family members of mind have done it before and they regret them later. One of my Aunts tattooed her wedding ring onto her finger and she ended up getting a divorce. One of my cousins tattooed her boyfriend's name on her arm and they broke up a week later. You can believe that you'll be with that person for the rest of your life and you could most definitely be right.. but in the slight chance that you're wrong.. it's just not worth it.

    I got tattooed because my significant other dared me. It was a design I had been thinking of for a long time. It was a flaming chess knight and nothing to do with us. 12 years later the relationship is over but I'm still glad I got the tattoo.

    I plan on getting lots of tattoos, but never the name of a significant other. It just doesn't seem logical, if things turn to shit later on....

    I used to think that was really stupid. Buuuut maybe. Not a name, but something that reminded me of them yeah. I don't think I would regret that.

    I don't think I would get a tattoo for my future girlfriend. But I would be totally open to getting one with them, like if we were together for a few years and were going to get married and wanted to get some sort of connected or romantic tattoo then sure!! :slight_smile:
