hTattoed Wedding Bands?

Meh....not a fan of the idea.
My husband wears his ring when he's not at work.
There are days I don't wear mine because I forget.
It's not biggie.
It get my ring re-sized and not stress about my husband not wearing O..
He knows he's married! LOL

I do think they are cool. However, I also think it's like getting a name tattooed on you. My husband and I both agreed that name tattooing isn't the best idea. Neither of us have plans on going anywhere. Ever. It just seems like tempting fate to much to me. :) I know, I'm weird that way!

I've been divorced twice. I don't think this is a good idea!

Definitely not to my taste, and I like tattoos. I think it would be painful, would invite the "tattooed names" curse and when I see tattooed fingers, I think of prisoners. I just don't think there's a way to do it and have it look tasteful. And picture it on your gnarled, liver-spotted, sagging skin, arthritic old lady fingers someday. Not so cool then, right?

My friends did this they are tattooed in general, I found it to be tacky (and I have and LOVE tattoos). They were married 7-7-07 and had that tattooed on their ring fingers, with in 7 months things were rocky and they began divorce proceedings. Honestly, I would get him a nice ring - Titanium rings are inexpensive and VERY nice and masculine and adjust your ring OR get a nice necklace to put it on and get a simple band for your daily wear.

I like tattoos though I have none. What you described sounds more like branding than tattoos. Like we mark our cows in case they get lost. :(

Just my feelings, ya know?

Okay I threw this around the office and everyone agreed with the branding. Worse one worked in a doctors office for a tattoo ring removal. Apparently to get it off of a finger they had to do a skin graft. This was because of a divorce. Something to think about!

I have not, but our friend did. I think it has the word "love" in the pattern. I suggest you/he keep it simple. The finger is not a lot of room.

My husband doesn't wear his ring currently because his hand was injured and his finger swelled. For what it's worth, I think it bothers him more than me. I have no doubts about his loyalty. He has, however, been divorced before so maybe that's why he really wants to show "I'm married."

When my husband and I got married (almost 10 years ago) we were going to do that, I'm SO glad we DIDN'T.. The tattoo artist said it will really fade on the finger and then it will look dull... I have nothing against tattoos. I have 5 and my husband has 2 big one's... I just think it looks cheesy on the finger..

I don't really like the look. They don't look like rings to me, and you never actually know if they're wedding rings or not. Plus, they fade over time and make your finger look dirty. In general, not a fan.

I thought about this not too long ago because my husband never wears his!

I dont think mine would go for it, but I think it is a cool idea. But, I will be sporting my rock instead!

My first thought reading your post was, "If people tattoo wedding rings on their fingers, what do they do if they divorce?"

But you're not going to do that anyhow, right?

Wedding rings with stones in them look better when the stone and the ring are real. A ring isn't costly to resize. Or maybe your husband needs to give you a new ring!

It's fashionable right now for men to wear wedding rings as well as women, but it's not always the fashion. I recall my dad didn't have one, and he was just as married - and just as faithful!

I have also thought the same thing but havent said anything to my husband. My husband doesn't wear his ring due to his work environment. He is a welder and is moving parts all the time so the chance of him getting his finger hung up on something and losing a finger is very risky. Now when we go out he wears it and I dont push it if he doesnt.
We both agree that tattooing names is a no no. So he might think of it as the same thing.
I would really discuss it with him, make sure that you are both on the same page. There is always a chance of divorce so if it would happen how would you feel having that forever on your finger?

I've been seriously considering this because I can't wear my wedding ring when in school and when I get a job in a kitchen I won't be allowed to wear it then either. If I get a tattoo on my wedding ring finger, then I'll always have it, even when I can't wear my ring over it.

i think its a really cool idea, yeah there is obviously always a chance of divorce but even if that happens you can cover up the tattoo with a real ring:) or get it removed if its just a small tattoo it would be easy to remove they even sell a cream that removes them at walmart. i dont believe in tattoing names ethier but im not against expressing yourself or your love through tattoos, if thats your personality go for it people get alot less meaningful things tattooed on them everyday.

I've asked Jeremy to do that several times----I think it'd be really cool, but not if I did it and he didn't. He's a wienie and won't get a tattoo though. :)

I like to wear jewelry, watches, etc. And my husband worked personally with a jeweler to custom design my engagement ring, then we had the same jewelr custom design a matching band so for me it isn't an option that I would consider.

BUT, my husband works construction and can't wear his band most of the of the time so he tattooed his finger In a way that it can be covered by the band when he can wear it but when he can't there is always a symbol of our marriage and I LOVE it. I never asked him to do it. He did it as a surprise and told me that he never wanted there to be a question that he is spoken for.

I think it's real neat looking. Granted, it'll fade after time and maybe look like a weird blemish on your hand when you're 80. But Google/Bing search "Wedding ring tattoo" and click on images. Lots of neat ideas out there. Please do NOT get a huge diamond tattooed on your finger. I say a neat design, your names or date in a nice cursive, a word in hebrew, or even just a solid band .... all would be pretty neat.

My husband and I were talking about tattoos when we were dating. He said "The only tattoo I would ever get would be a wedding ring tattoo." He's now lost his band, so maybe we can have the 'tattoo' talk again. I'd be game if he wanted me to do one too. My only problem is that I am not sure how feminine the ring will look. I'd be fine with a 'cool' one, but I am not a 'cool' gal with my nerdy look. So .... probably not for me. But if you and husband are game, I say go for it. Take the time to find a design that y'all really like.

One of my girlfriends husband's wears his wedding band on a chain around his neck. His job won't let him wear rings.

I would have to say no to the tatooed ring option. They fade over time and just wouldn't look nice and I wouldn't want to keep freshing it up.

When we brought our rings the jeweler offered free resizing for the life of the ring. Hubby will be getting his resized soon. His keeps slipping off. His fingers are more toned now than when we first got married. He's a pianist.

Wedding ring tattoos are a cute idea, in theory. But they tend to fall under the realm of the "tattoo curse" as in, never get the name or initials of you SO tattooed on you or it'll all fall apart.

That aside, they're also the fastest to fade/warp, generally during the healing phase, because we use our hands for everything.

Pros and cons of tattooing rings on aside, I think the thing that makes me most uncomfortable about this post, is the bit about "making" your husband wear his ring.

If he doesn't like to wear it, he doesn't like to wear it. Many people are simply uncomfortable wearing rings, that isn't a bad thing. They just don't like the way they feel, and sometimes it interferes with work. He knows whom he's married to, and I'm sure if someone asks, he'll be more than forthcoming with the truth.

I have wanted to do this for years. Since I keep thinking about it, maybe one day I'll actually do it. I would like to get my wedding date tattooed on my finger, but would still wear my rings over it.

I have always liked the idea, but keep in mind that the smaller the tattoo is, the more it will turn into a blob in a few years! So if you do it, make sure it's plain and has simple clean lines.
I would do each other's initials, but that's just me.
Good Luck!

I have my husbands name shaped in a heart with a circle in the middle of it tattooed on my left ring finger in his favorite color and wear my gold band on my middle finger ( since it fits better since I have lost weight since we were married) I love it and get comments all the time of it. Some who ask if I'm married and I say yes then they ask why I don't have a ring on... I explain a ring can come off any time.. but tattooing his name on my finger showes Im committed for a life time :)

His name is cody... so the C and D ( straight line of the D is connected to the O) make up the outer curved part of the heart.. the Y is the the bottom of the heart and the O is in the middle of the heart if that makes sense... its simple but I like it :)

I haven't gotten a ring tattoo, but I know people that have. Personally, I love tattoos. I have 3, now that I'm done having kids and have my body back, I'll be getting more. I think this is a personal decision. It'll hurt but not bad. I wouldn't put the date or any names or writing of any kind. I hate to be a devils advocate but what if... Also if you guys do it. Pick or design your own not each others. It does represents your marriage and your husband (love, hugs and all the touchy feely stuff you can handle). But, when it comes to permenatly marking your body, you have to be the one to make the decision. Good luck! Post a picture if/when you do it!
