Heya. I have a few tattoos, all of them have a huge meaning behind them. I don't have any names, how ever, my husband and I have matching tattoos, so we are connected and only us know the meaning, its great to tell the story to people aswell, ours is from when we used to live in barcelona. We used to picnic in a beautiful park there. so we traced this design of the bench there (designed by antoni gaudi) where we used to sit and plan our life together, and he had it tattood on his sholder and back and i had it on myleg. this was about 3 yearsagoand we gotmarried last year. why don't you and your boyfriend have something tattood thats pesonal and just for you too. you could even try and design something together. good luck!

Eyeswideopen, you forgot the best.... Johnny Depp had a tattoo, "Winona forever", now he's got a new partner and baby, he shortened it to "Wino forever", and I'm sure it looks great.

HonningKanin agony auntTattoos with peoples names on thm should be reserved for children and I 3 MOM. hehe

Seriously names are a bad idea unless the person is 100% always going to a part of your life no matter what. I generally, if I were you, wait till I was married. Even then my preference is to symbols rather than lettering, but that is just my personal taste.

I would avoid doing it now because laser surgery to remove it still leaves a nasty looking scar in is quite painful. But as always it is up to you!

°Ale° agony auntAs much as I agree with the people here- who wants to wait 30 years ?

Luckily with our technology now, if you do end up breaking and hating each other's guts then you can have it removed. of course it will be painful and probably a bit costy too, but just like everything, you'll enjoy the ride of having one. I would go for it.

But that's just me :)

Tremor agony auntTattoos of your partners name are not 'bad luck', but they do tend to be bad decisions. Tattoos last a lifetime, which is a lot longer than many relationships.

I'm not saying you /will/ break up if you get tattoos of each others name. But you might do - lots of other couples have. I'd advise you to wait. As other posters have said - once you're married 30, 40, 50 years, then it might be suitable.

Three years together is a while, and I congratulate you on it - but it's nothing compared to another 60 or 70 odd years, which is how long you'll have your tattoo for.

I wish you all the best in your relationship, but I'm sure there are other ways to express your love for one another.
