Couple and Marriage Tattoos With Meaning: Matching Pairs and Shared Symbols

Meaningful couple tattoos either complete each other - two halves of a heart, a lock and key, two figures - or match: the same small symbol worn by both, such as interlocking rings, an infinity heart or a date. Marriage tattoos add wedding symbols like ring tattoos or a shared tree. Many artists advise symbols over a partner's name.

ITwo halves of one design

These only read fully when you stand together, which is the point - but check that each half also looks finished on its own.

Not every couple tattoo has to be matching. These are single pieces about a relationship - one partner can wear them, or both in different sizes.

IVBefore you book together

Names are the most regretted couple tattoo, and many artists will gently steer you away from a partner's name. Symbols, dates and initials carry the same meaning and age better if life changes. If you do want rings, know that finger tattoos fade and blur faster than almost anywhere else, so a ring tattoo usually needs touching up within a year or two.

Decide whether each half works alone. A design that looks like half of something will always look unfinished on one arm; a design that is complete on each person and better together is a safer bet.

VQuestions people ask

Are couple tattoos a bad idea?

Not if you choose a design you would keep regardless - a symbol, a date, a shared joke. Names and portraits are the riskiest choices.

What tattoo symbolises marriage?

Interlocking rings, a ring tattoo on the ring finger, an endless knot, a shared tree, or in Chinese tradition a dragon with a phoenix.
