Meaning of Couple Tattoos
Sharing tattoos with friends, or with your partner is a way to show the special connection we feel towards that person. A tattoo is a promise of eternal commitment, where the illusion remains captive between the lines of that permanent drawing. For example, the love of your life .
Couples tattoos have no other intention than to show the pure affection of one person for another. They are also used as a symbol of wholeness and unity between two lovers. Some of these couple tattoos are a commitment: the two lovers promise to stay together and support each other through difficult times. Other couples decide to get matching tattoos after getting married, to represent their lifelong union. And it is that tattooing with a lover is an act of love that will accompany the couple for the rest of their life.
Some couples tend to get a tattoo of a tribute to their other half on a highly visible part of the body. Anyone can say “I too can do it” but it takes a lot of courage to engrave this permanent testimony of love. Getting matching tattoos printed on you, especially for a couple, means you are absolutely sure you’ve found THE right person for you. Nothing means “forever” as well as a good tattoo. Whether you want to get a tattoo or not, it’s impossible to deny that couple tattoos are a charming gesture.
Tattoos are in fashion, and many people decide to tattoo something symbolic: the name of a child, an emblematic date, or something that is extremely important in the life of the person who is tattooed.
