We settled on arm bands because of the rings fading, blurring. Even re-touching the blurriness doesn't go away.

My human "refuse[s] to get any damn needles stuck in [him]!" so it'll just be me getting a wedding tattoo…which seems a little sad and solitary, but it'll mean something to ME and maybe he'll appreciate that I did it for him and did something other than the typical "your name here" on some part of me.

The whole reason to get a ring tattoo is because I have a very dirty job where my hands are in any number of gross and chemicals and powertools…the same things that seem like they'd fade a tatoo pretty quickly. We may end up going with something simple so that if/when it has to get re-done, it won't look so fuzzy. The Boy and I really want to do this, but I'm a little worried about fading.

I love my engagement ring, but because of the shape of it I won't be able to do a set, nor do I want to. We have been together off and on for 10ish years, and have a child together. I've wanted to marry him for a long time, but it took him a while to make sure I was the right one, which I'm totally cool with! I have a tattoo from my first marriage and do not regret it. It is a piece of my past and is there to remind me of what I have done and decisions I have made. I don't wear a lot of jewelry, and he never wears jewelry, so it makes perfect sense for us.

To me, it's an excellent idea. They also won't do wedding ring tattoos. I'm very glad they don't because the ex and I threw around that idea. If I would have gotten one, I'd still have it and I never want to remember that relationship :P I'm late to the party on this, but I agree with a lot of the points brought up by people already. 1) They will fade on the fingers. 2) My tattoo artist's studio has a strict "no names" policy unless it's a child or a relative who has passed and you're doing an "in memory" tattoo.

I don't mind tattoos but the thought of having a black mark on my hand permanently puts me off a bit.... blue maybe, white or silver or something? Don't suppose you can have a silver tattoo can you? Not sure on the design either but no dates or hearts.. something simple and subtle... we love the sea so maybe something along those lines.. any ideas?
