When you’re in love, you want to shout it from the rooftops so everyone in the world can hear. You might also think about getting a matching tattoo to show how much your relationship means to you. After all, couples tattoos are a reminder that you’re there for each other, no matter what. But before you go and get inked, you’ll want to consider these points, first.
Are couples tattoos bad luck?
Of course there’s that age-old superstition when it comes to couple tattoos that as soon as you get your partner’s name tattooed on you, the relationship is doomed forever (need we remind you of Johnny Depp’s “Wino Forever” tattoo that he made after he and ex Winona Ryder broke up?).
Since this is generally considered gospel by tattoo artists, you might want to consider a tattoo design that is more symbolic than literal.

Where Should You Put Your Couples Tattoos?
Like any tattoo that is completely up to you, however having it in a spot that is special to you and/or your partner is a great way to go. For instance, a wrist tattoo or the inside of your ankle or forearm is sweet. Or, you could place it on the back of your neck on your hairline, if you’re looking for small tattoos that you know is there but nobody else does. The placement of your tattoo doesn’t really matter…it all depends on what’s practical for your life.
