Wedding Ink

Before we got married, Andy and I were discussed wedding rings. He didn't know if
  1. he would be able to stand wearing a ring, and
  2. he would be able to wear it to work, since he works with machinery.
So he told me he would get a wedding ring tattoo if the metal ring didn't work out. It really touched me that he would permanently mark himself for me. As I mulled it around, I felt like I could definitely get a wedding ring tattoo as well.

My friend Amanda got her most recent tattoo done at Jinx Proof in Georgetown. I'm not sure which artist did hers, but I like Susan's work:
So what would it look like? I thought I might get his name on the front and the wedding date on the back, but I decided to look for other people's wedding ring tattoos and found some interesting results:There were tons more images I'm just not sure what would best represent my feelings and what I'd feel comfortable with having on my body.

What do you think? Would you ever get a tattoo under or instead of a wedding ring?

  2. Yes, my husband and I chose to get tattooed rings from the beginning because we were each others firsts (lovers, signifigant others, and spouses) and we wanted a permenant outward expression of our desire to never be with anyone else. We actually have matching Claddaghs, which is the second from the last ring design...the one with black nail polish. It's a beautiful symbol meaning eternally faithful love and friendship.

  3. my bf and I have discussed this, he said he wants to get a tattoo instead of a wedding ring when he gets married, and I hadn't thought of that until he mentioned it, but since then, i've thought it was a great idea, in my opinin you only get married once, and there's no such thing as divorce(of course there are exceptions, i.e. spousal abuse) so therefore a wedding ring tattoo would be perfect in my opinion
