What's the word on name tattoos?

Unless you're getting your child's, a relative's or even maybe your pet's name tattooed, don't get a name tattoo. People who get their significant other's name tattooed on them are setting up their relationship for doom.  DOOM! I tell you DOOM!!!  Unless you're a masochist don't even think about having your own name tattooed on yourself or you will forever be the brunt of a plethora of jokes. Even your tattooist will laugh at you as soon as you leave their studio.

 

If you're getting your lover's name tattooed on you, just know it's a curse. Don't believe it? Well, go and have it done and see how long it takes before the break up happens.  You'll likely be counting in days and not years.  What about having your name tattooed on your significant other's backside?  Hot right?  I'm not one to judge, but unless you're in some sort of long term BDSM relationship this might not be a wise move.  You can feel certain that it will not only let the world know who your property is, but also suggest you may have a wee bit of an insecurity issue. Something you might want to take a look at. Tattoo artists may not be the best source for advice; however, for what it's worth, it's probably not a good idea to treat your lover like a tackle box that you write your name on in permanent marker to prevent it from getting stolen.

 

Obviously, not all tattooists agree. Mr. Jonathan Michael Boggs of Sioux City, Iowa took a hammer to his girlfriend when she refused to let him tattoo his name on her chest. Now that's true love; unfortunately, she was too stupid to understand that and needed to have some sense knocked into her... with a hammer. Oh yeah, we mustn't forget about Rouslan Toumaniantz a tattooist, who tattooed his name over most of his girlfriend's, Lesya Toumaniantz from Saransk, Russia, face after knowing her for not even 24 hours. Mr. Boggs obviously needed to take lessons from Mr. Toumaniantz on how to properly subjugate your woman. It would appear that the old school tradition of respectable tattooists refusing or at least strongly trying to persuade their clients not to tattoo their faces and hands is now quite passé.
