I was watching TV last night and I was watching this show (I won’t disclose the name to protect the innocent-LOL), but one of the women was getting laser tattoo removal done for the tat she had of her ex husbands name on her ring finger. Did you notice I said ex-husband? I was thinking to myself why in the hell did she put a tattoo of her husbands name on her in the first place? Maybe she’s a pothead and he has short-term memory. It’s no surprise to me that they’re divorced because once you get inked with your significant others name on you, you can kiss that relationship(most of the time) GOODBYE!
Often times people get their significant's names inked on them because they think that it will strengthen the relationship that they are in, and making it a symbol to let their mate know that they are serious about the relationship-like the tattoo is something magical and will change everything! Sorry Charlie but it’s not! Other times maybe to just show a sign of affection when the relationship is going wonderful, but I’m telling you under most circumstances it’s never a good idea.
So I have never had and never will have another man’s name tatted anywhere on my body that I’m in a relationship with. It just plain doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t want to be branded like some freaking animal. My man will know how special he is in my life, and I won’t need a tattoo to prove it either.
Here are a few (I don’t have enough time or space) celebrities that had their significant other's names tattooed on them, and then had to get them removed and or re-designed.
Yeah forever didn’t last too long for Jonny Depp and Winona Ryder. They called it quits just after a year of him getting this tattoo.
It was the dumbest thing in the world for the rapper Nas to get the face of his now ex-wife Kelis.
I think during this entire relationship Angelina was on crack, and definitely was high when she decided to get Billy Bob on her arm.
I just had to put Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards on here, since Charlie Sheen is making headlines all over the place. I'm not surprised that he got the tattoo, but Denise is a whole other story. I’m sure Charlie was showing signs of being “crazy” back then.
All I have to say people is please don’t do it! What you are going to be left with in the end is a reminder of the person you are not with anymore and you’ll have to pay to either get it removed or to get in turned into something else. Regardless, you will end up paying.
How do you feel about people getting “branded” with the name of their lovers, and would you ever do it?Image Source Image Source Image Source Image Source

Hell no.
Even though I love my boyfriend and plan on marrying him, I'd never get his name tattooed on me and I don't want him to get my name tattooed on him either. I think it's tacky and definitely always a bad idea.
I have my husbands name on my left breast. I wouldn't change it for the world. Even if we don't work out in the long run he was still a part of my life and is the father of my child. He also has my name down his right shin.
I would NEVER get anyone's name tattooed on me, unless it's my son or my mom. LOL And even then, I might not get their names, just something that symbolizes them. I have a tattoo of an acronym that I made up when I was engaged to my ex-fiance and THAT is bad enough, even though nobody can really see it and it's a universal concept, I know what it means and the origins. I am slightly superstitious and I was always told that a tattoo of your significant other's name is just a curse to doom the relationship.
If you get a tattoo that says your lovers name, like "Cathy"... If you have a rough break-up with her, then you can just make it say "Fuck Cathy"... Problem solved.
@Blind_Paraplegic@xanga - hahaha
i think its okay for people who have been married for like 30 + years. you don't always break up.
my friends recommends a very good website to me

I would never tattoo anyone's name on my body. No gfs, wives, mothers, children, no one. Actually, I wouldn't get a tattoo and all.
@Blind_Paraplegic@xanga - Yeah, except that for the rest of your life, you'll look like you're not over them.
@Kazydai - It'll help with the healing process.
I'll be getting my husband's name in Hebrew. Nobody (here) will know what it says- it's really none of their business anyway. So long as I put it in a work-appropriate place, what I do to my body is between myself and the hubs.
Unless they're your kids or a memorial tattoo for someone, I dont like name tattoos. If the relationship didnt work out, you have ink forever unless you pay for a painful removal.
If a couple decides on a design they both like, that's cool. Atleast if you split, you have something you like that you can live with. If someone asks, just say you ex went with you while you got it.
I don't know, I think it's super sweet, but at the same time I do get how bad it would be if you broke up.
But I don't consider it getting "branded" because it's a choice you make; not someone else.
AND I think it's kind of awesome when guys have their kids name tattooed on them, or sometimes even a loved one who's died.
if anything, get it small. if you break up, get it covered. problem solved
As long as you've been married for a while, I think its okay....
@Blind_Paraplegic@xanga - lol XD
Every example of this that I've ever seen, leads to a breakup. It's like clockwork.
@Blind_Paraplegic@xanga - I LOVE this!
I think a lot of celebrities do it for publicity. Hell, they can afford to have it undone when the time comes. And really, I assume the people who choose to do this feel pretty strongly at the time, just like most people do when they get any tattoo. There is always the chance that later the symbol, or image may not mean to you what it did when you got it and you'll want to undo it, but at the time it felt totally right.
I think that people have the right to ink any damn thing they want on themselves no matter what anyone thinks of it, Personally I'm not going to put anyone's name on me, but I don't think it's a stupid thing to do. Getting a tattoo removed is probably less painful than most divorces or breakups, but we still get into relationships, often with dreams of "forever".
i think it's pretty dumb. i would never do it.
MEH I hate name tattoos. The only time I'd get a name is if it were my kid or a deceased relative. NEVER EVER a significant other.
Yeah, its a dumb idea. But people get into relationships and they're all, "Oh my god! This is gonna last forever!" The problem is that everyone thinks that about their relationship. Not only that, but relationships can end at any time. People sometimes divorce after 20 years of being together. Shit just happens because life is unpredictable. But people refuse to believe that, so they do shit like this.
for one thing, i do not consider getting a tattoo being "branded". it is more like decoration or a method to show something is a permanent part of you. PERMANENT is the key word here. As far as the name of my future husband, maybe. Maybe for our silver anniversary (25 years of marriage) as something to make you feel "young" again. My mother is over 45 and she got a tattoo with me on my 21st birthday to celebrate it with me (not my dad's/her husband's name, but still). I dont think its stupid persay, but the location and timeliness of the tattoo decision can play a huge part in the matter.
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't do it...
this website is very good, you can go and see it
