Of course, a person’s permanent body art tells you a lot about what’s in their heart and on their mind. Often, out affections are where out money is, a really great tattoo can cost a pretty penny. So, if you see a guy with a big, beautiful design artistically tattooed on his body with someone’s name emblazoned on it, you almost have to know he’s in love.
Obviously, if you break up, you sure are going to look silly stuck with that name everywhere you go for the rest of your life. There are other ways to ink your love for a specific person without using their name. Your tattoo artist can help you come up with a design that incorporates some of your beloved’s favorite things, like a favorite flower, or a quote from a book she really likes. That way, if your ink last longer than your love does, you may not regret the tattoo as much.If you are just dying to have someone’s name tattooed on your body forever and ever, your brother, sister, parents, favorite teacher, or even your dog are better choices than your significant other. Those are things that will never change, unless the dog bites you. A lovers affections can and will be fickle. Not even married couples are exempt from this fact; divorces happen all the time.
Just like the Men’s Ruin tattoo is Lady Luck’s evil twin, the devotion tattoo has a sad sister, and that’s the memorial tattoo. At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of distinction between the two. However, they differ at two main points: a) memorial tats tend to be about the deceased, and devotion tats about the living, and b) you’re probably going to be less likely to change your mind about at memorial.
Another option may be a portrait tattoo, a picture of the honoree inked onto the skin. This is a very specialized genre of tattooing and it’s best to seek out someone who has mastered it. If you don’t, the results could be disastrous. In general, people are less likely to regret memorial tattoos because their earthly relationship with the other person has already ended. They know how it’s going to end. There are so surprise infidelities or disappointments that will change their feelings for that person.
