Need ideas on a wedding band being tattooed?

i've known people who have had wedding bands tattooed on. It's a very good concept, however I don't think it's a very good idea. Fingers are the one of the most "moved" parts of your body, and the ink will not stay in if your fingers are moved around alot. The risk of losing the ink and having a "forever" tattoo read fo-v-r may not be a very nice thing to have. I do like the concept of having a tattoo of the wedding band however.

Another thing you should think about is if you 2 were to divorce (which I hope will never happen)... he will have this on him for future relationships.

Another thought may be just getting matching tattoos in a less noticable place that only you and him know where they are.

First off, congratulations on your marriage- good luck to you both!

As for the tattoo itself, it can be virtually anything you like (within reason, since the area is so small); a few examples could be the ones you've already suggested ("forever," etc.), a favorite design, your wedding date, and so on. A couple I know had the logo of their favorite band, HIM, inked on their ring fingers, instead of rings. Sit down with your husband and discuss some options, browse the internet for ideas, or take a trip to your local tattoo parlor and speak to an artist about some suggestions. The possibilities are endless!

Now, before I finish my speech, I'd like to offer one piece of advice, and please don't get offended: consider the tattoo VERY carefully! Unless you have the thousands of dollars to get said tattoo removed (which is also quite painful, and often leaves scarring) in the event that something should happen between the two of you, think about this option for a while before actually getting it done. In the meantime (or if you opt out of the tattoo idea), your husband could try sticking the ring in his pocket or another safe place while at work, and then putting it back on when his shift is done.

Either way, I hope this helped- good luck, once again!

Ok,I worked in a tatto shop for years. And I'm only saying this out of the artistic veiwpoint. Don't do it. This is a very meaningful and beautiful peice. You want it to look great, and hold up, and be crisp. It won't. The fingers are one of THE worst places to get tattooed. Picture with me Ozzy Ozbournes knuckles. Thats how your beautiful rings will look in just a year or two. The reason for this is the constant exfoliation (loss of skin cells) from the area. The hands and feet are the only part of the body with an extra layer to the skin and it constantly renews itself, taking a toll on that ring. Writing will be ilegible after a year or so. It will bleed together and just be blobs. Guranteed. I love the idea. I think it's a wonderful symbol, but it just doesn't hold up well. Also, the fingers would be more exposed to bacteria, raising your risk of a secondary infection. Fingers constantly move and stretch, opening the wound up and causing trauma. :( I'd advise against it, only for these reasons.The sentiment is heartfelt and devoted, and I wish you both the best of luck.

Have you thought maybe of putting something near your hearts? Thats a special place too.

My friends did this. Theirs are matching. They each got the date of their wedding like this: ~8~29~02~ (The little swirly thingys are a bit more pronounced than on the keyboard) One way that your husband will never forget your anniversary!! You can check out bmezine.com. They used to have lots of pictures up of lots of different kinds of tattoos. They haven't posted anything new since September due to some inner drama at the site, but still an awesome place to search for ideas.

My god-son's parents have the symbol for eternal tattooed on their ring fingers.I have seen a few band tattoos but I'm not a huge fan of them.I really do love the tattoos my god-son's parents have.They are beautiful!

My husband has the same situation with wearing a ring to work. It could be potentially hazardous. So he just doesn't wear it. He's at work with a bunch of guys, why does he NEED to wear his ring. DOn't get me wrong I love tattoos - I have and my husband has a lot of them, but I just don't see the point in the ring tattoos - they always turn out looking crappy and faded. BUt as always, do what you want.

Tattoos on the fingers fade very easily. My grandfather had one, and I could never tell what it was supposed to be. Consider it carefully, and talk to your tattoo artist about it.

Good luck to the both of you and congrats!

Thats is a great Idea! Can't wait to see what kind of pictures are out there!

I'm gettin the roman numerals of the day I get married on my ring finger.
