I wouldn't.

My mom got an elaborate tattoo with my dad's name and he was really uncomfortable with it. He suggested she get my name instead, but she wanted his so she got it. They've been together 25 years, so hopefully it stays that way!

Blood or dead. Blood-they'll always be family, dead- they can't piss you off. This is my husbands rule, he tattoos. so imagine how surprised I was about 5 years ago when he come home with my name tattooed across the bas of his neck. He says no matter what I'll always be the love of his life.

I have thought about getting his name on me but if I do it will be when I stop dancing.

i sort of have two guys names tatooed on me, and my only regret is not getting one of them bigger and in English!!!


my second tattoo was done when i was 18, with my partner of a few months, as a valentines present, i got the letter J on my wrist, its easy to change later down the track if need be i guess.

and my third tat was one of our best mates nickname. except i got it in chinese *stupid!* i hate seeing tatoos of languages people dont speak!!

my partner and i are still together after 5 years, and his mate? well, hes dead, but the memory lives on.

its a presonal preferance, if you dont go over board i dont see why is so bad to get a partners name tattooed on you. its just skin, and regardless if you break up, its still a memory.

Never ever ever ever ever would I get an SO's name tattood on me.

Hell my ex was with me when I got my first tattoo... a single horse shoe on my lower back. There is a long story behind it... part of it was his idea and he picked the horse shoe and the placing, he also paid for it... there was more to the story but I don't want to go into detail.

When we broke up the damn horse shoe drove me crazy because of how much he hurt me. So I ended up putting myself through a 3 hour session to have it covered and worked into a new bigger tattoo. Im still not done it and im itching to have the rest of it finished.

Just knowing how much that bothered me.... I can't imagine having a tattoo of an SO who I later broke up with.

No. Fucking. Way.

When it comes to relationships, I am seriously the most fickle person in the world. I throw everything into it, and think this person is the person I will be with forever, and weeks/months/years down the track end up getting totally bored and leaving them. Every single time. I think I have learned that this is the way I am and until I change there is no way I would every tattoo anything on my body that reminded me of them.

I'm not into names, either. I do have a "W" on my left inner forearm, which is MrsC's initial. We'll be together 16 years in July. I don't regret it at all. We do joke about the various things it could stand for if we ever broke up, or what I could change it into.

I can think of 3 girls at work right now with name tats of guys they're no longer with.

Don't do it. Especially if he wouldn't do it for you. Everyone thinks they will be together forever. In most cases they are not. There is no way to guarantee you will want to be reminded of him after a break up. Looks tacky/trashy IMO and like someone else said, lacks any originality whatsoever. This should not even be a consideration if you aren't even married, but I hate name tats.

I'm going to have to agree with everyone who said getting a tat of his actual name is a bad idea. I know a few people who did it, and none of them are still in the relationship.

My husband has a tattoo, and my initials are in it... they are very subtle and could be covered up if necessary. He says he'd never cover them, but if he had to, he could. :)

Why don't you get a tat of something symbolic that reminds you of him? That way it's not a name, and if something ever happened, it wouldn't be obvious.

It's your decision, though. Nobody can make the call but you.

It's a curse to get a full name of anything tattooed on your body. The only circumstance I would do it under would be for like a 50th anneversary. At that point, I think the deal is pretty well sealed, lol.

All my ink has meaning of some form or another. The Hawaiian surfer petroglyph on my right hip is a memorial to my dad. The green and black nautical star on my right thy covers a matching cut scar that I didn't want to have to keep opening so I just had it inked over. You can still see the scaring underneath. The other three are Music tattoos of various forms. I have the Scissor Sisters emblem on my back, I have AFI Sing The Sorrow leaves on my stomach stylised to include elements of Blaqk Audio. Finally my left thy reads "Sorry if we can't all be unoriginal, but I have a mold to break" which is a quote from Jeffree Star. Two pink and black nautical stars flank the quote as citation of the author.

Dear gods NO! I love my husband. I have every intention of spending the rest of my life with him, but NO!

I would consider getting something symbolic to both of us, but not a name. EVER!

Now my cats' names....that's a different matter! lol
