Like co-ordinated wedding outfits and pet names, couple tattoos are just another way of commemorating your big day (and your love). Some cringe at the idea, while others think there’s no better way to cement their love for their partner. It's something more than a diamond ring and it's something you won't have to worry about losing by mistake.

Yes, getting a tattoo is a big commitment already, and getting matching couple tattoos is a commitment on top of a commitment. But couple tattoos are probably the cutest ways of showing off your love for one another. However, we have to be real about the couple's wedding tattoos with you. They're permanent. So, before you get your new ink, you should take a step back and consider a few ideas before zeroing down on your one and only. And you have to ensure it's something that you don't begin to regret almost immediately. 

From delicate finger stamps to cute and meaningful motifs, we’ve rounded up some of the best couple tattoos that will make you and your partner smile every time. Scroll down and check them out!

Things To Consider Before You Get A Couple Tattoo

Before you get a matching tattoo with your partner, there are certain things you should take a step back on and consider- especially if it will serve as a unique wedding ring. And while we don't like to entertain the idea of anything negative, you need to know that while there are ways of tattoo removal, they're not really that effective and the process is expensive, painful and doesn't completely get rid of the tattoo.

So, if you end up deciding to show off your love with new tattoos, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Choose your placement and design wisely: Go for thin lines, simple shapes, and not too much detail. Too many details or larger designs can get convoluted. 
  • Research your tattoo artist: Tattoos are sensitive and you have to be super careful about where or whom you get them from. So, make sure you check out their portfolios and have an in-person consultation to see if you like their style.
  • Be prepared for a little pain: Since there are so many nerve endings on your hand, this placement is among the least pleasant. However, if it's a simple design, they can often be wrapped up in a matter of minutes. But yes, you will feel a little pain, so get ready for that. 
  • Plan accordingly, and pay attention to care guidelines: For your wedding ring tattoo to look its best on your actual wedding day, get your ink at least a week prior and make sure to follow your artist's aftercare routine so everything heals properly!
  • Choose a design that means something to both of you: Your wedding tattoo should have some sort of understood meaning that symbolizes something you both know and will love looking at. Be sure you choose something definitive.

Conclusion

Tattoos are a great way to proclaim something as permanent. Simple or complicated, tattoo designs can be personalised according to you and your partner's vibe. Similarly, each tattoo holds some significance for the person who gets inked. For couples, it can mean 'a love that lasts forever'. It's something that is personal and it's yours to share only. Or it can be a wild and loud declaration of your undying love. Regardless, matching couple tattoos are superb. And let's just say, a couple that gets inked together, stays together!
