Would you get your partner's name tattooed on your body?

I really don't like tattoos, but if I were to get one involving my fiancee it would be something special representing her, not her name.

My husband and I recently got our wedding bands tattooed on our fingers. Nothing fancy, just two plain, simple lines. Maybe in 50 years we'll add names too

I have a lot of tattoos in progress and would love to add my husband's name to one. Even if we ever split down the road I have no problem with it being on me. It would be a reminder of the good times and what I loved, not of the bad times and the end of things. And if I ever feel different, I could have it easily covered.

That's what I did. I have a tattoo that represents not only my first (an only) love, but also the other people who mean the most to me.

I don't think I would ever put a name. I thought about initials that would be very small.

I definitely would if I had no doubt it was a forever thing.

I want Daddy's name branded on my thigh but I'm terrified of being burned so I would definitely get it tattooed

Childrens names yes I would if they have passed on from this life, but not a spouse. I want a portrait tat of my oldest son on my shoulder one day.

We have discussed this. No names of partners.

Only names of blood relatives (siblings, parents, kids, etc). My wife wants to get a tattoo based on her dad's wood carving signature. He passed 14 years ago.

We have been married 23 years and have no tattoos. If she wanted me to now, as long as it was in a very discreet place, I would do so for her.

I've been happily married for over 8 years, and my wife and I are in our late 20's close to your age, but I would never do that or want her to do it. I don't have any tattoos, mainly because I have never justified spending the amount of money that it would take to get the tattoo that I want done by a really good artest. To much can happen to one of you over the next 50+ years of your lives, but whatever floats your boat.

I was always of the mindset that you only tattoo on the name of your children or your family. Husbands and Wives can move on, and it isn't always a pleasant split. I honestly don't like the idea of any name tattooed on me, but that's just me.

As Lenna said earlier, it's a bit of a cliche, so no, I wouldn't get her name done. Maybe a symbol, yes, but not a name.

Absolutely not. I know people who did this and regret it a ton.

I already have, I did it very small in my handwriting on my wrist. This is also the name of my cat to so if things do not work out it is my cat. However I did it small so I could easy fix this. I can turn it into a bracelet or something.

I don't think i ever could put my boyfriends name on me. I think I will just stick to getting the same tattoo design.

It took me a long time to say yes! I believe that I will love this person the rest of my life wether with them or not.

I might tattoo that name of any children I may have in the future.

Not a snowballs chance in a bakery oven of that happening.
It's pretty much a given that you NEVER get a lovers name (no I don't care how long you've been married, one guy on Yahoo news got a tattoo of his wife and kids just to find out the wife of about 30 years was cheating on him) tattooed on you and you NEVER get a tattoo when you're high/intoxicated/drunk /depressed.
