Matching Tattoos For Couples: Why It Is A Great Idea That Can Also Backfire

When you are in love, you are on cloud nine all the time, you are happy and excited and also want the world to know the reason behind your happiness, and a matching tattoo is perfect for that

Everything seems to be just perfect and you are ready to ink your love by getting matching tattoos made on the same (or different) body part of both of you. Of course it is a big decision on the part of the couple as tattoos are more or less permanent whereas there is no guarantee that their love would last a long time.

Think twice before getting names of each other tattooed

There is nothing extraordinary or unique about matching tattoos except that they make sense when seen at the same time on the body parts of two individuals who are in a relationship. The first thing that comes in the minds of couples is to get tattooed the name of each other. Even though this might sound like a great idea, name tattoos look odd and feel embarrassing when the relationship ends on a bitter note and someone else enters the lives of the individuals that made the couple earlier. Go for meaningful words or motifs instead.

There are many interesting ideas for matching tattoos

Rather than getting the tattoo erased and experiencing the pain associated with it, it is a prudent idea to get opposite tattoos made on the same body part of the two individuals, Sun and moon and stag and doe are two classic examples of opposite tattoos that tell the world that the two of you are in a special relationship. Opposite tattoos tell the world that the two of you are made for each other and cannot live without each other.

Another great idea for couples is to get tattoos that are symbols of love. These include infinity symbols, hearts, anchors, cupids, love knots and many more depending upon the culture you belong to. There is also a trend to go for zodiac signs to reflect that fact that individuals form a couple. Geometric designs and math symbols are also loved by couples as matching tattoos.

No matter what tattoos you get made on which body part, just make sure that this ink is permanent and you must choose something that does not look odd once you are out of this relationship.

Matching tattoos is a concept that is great not just for couples in love but also for best friends and siblings, particularly twins.
