    Stick with the ring, if things go south on you, you can pawn the ring. Kind of hard to 'pawn' a tattoo, and now you have to explain to everyone who sees it who "whatshisname" ( or her ) is or was. Don't do it.

    I've got lots of tattoos, but I'd never EVER have my husband's name tattooed on me. Not because I don't love him, but because life is funny and sometimes things happen. Maybe when we're 80 and there's no chance we'll separate because something when wrong, but until then the ring is more than enough.

    An engraved ring can be replaced with a different ring. A tattoo is permanent. Statistically speaking, the odds are against the two of you staying together. Sorry. I'd go for the ring and skip the tattoo.

    no sorry. we've both been through a divorce before so we know the possibility of failure. it's just a conversation, we're not getting married.

    I've always thought tattooing someone's name on yourself as coming with the invisible "property of" in front of it, but that's just me.

    I've been married 16 years and have never once thought of getting his name tattooed on me.
    I know what it is...;)
    As for wedding rings? I rarely wear mine as it gets in the way of what I do.Even then,it is by no means a symbol of ownership and really does not do alot to keep people "away" anyway.

    Well if you're married then the whole "til death do us part thing" could be a legitimate argument for the wedding ring tattoo. Dating does not mean married, does not mean you two will be together forever, does not mean you are beholden and wholly devoted to one another just yet.

    that's not the point. a marriage can end just as easily as an kind of relationship, it's just more expensive. the fact is, it means the same thing. he doesn't believe putting the name on there at all, even if you are married. say you are married, is it not the same?

    A marriage CAN end but it isn't SUPPOSED to end, as you have promised, no, VOWED to be with that person forever. If you put no name on there what's the point? A ring tattoo, woo hoo :/
