A “New” Trendy Symbol of Marriage Permanence
Adventurous couples are opting for the wedding ring that you know will never come off or get lost - the tattooed wedding ring. Although the practice has been around for centuries, it’s newly trendy.
Celebrities including Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson, and model Mia Tyler and her fiance - musician Dave Buckner, are the most public faces sporting these tats, but they’re not just for famous people. It’s a great option for doctors, mechanics and others who can’t wear rings while they’re working. Generally, it’s also initially less expensive - less than $100 a piece, although you’ll need to get it touched up as the years go on.
Most recently making the news shows Levi Johnston with the name of his baby’s mother, Bristol, tattooed on his wedding finder. Bristol is the daughter of Sara Palin, John McCain’s running mate and possible Vide President of the United States.
You’ll be making some powerful statements to each other and the world at large. Your tattoo will say that you trust enough in the relationship to have a permanent symbol of it on your body. You’ll also be showing that marriage doesn’t mean that you’re too conservative to be inked.
The disadvantage of course is that it will never come off. No matter how secure you feel in your relationship now, consider carefully how you’ll feel if the relationship dissolves but the tattoo doesn’t. You’ll have to be willing to live with the ring, go through painful and expensive tattoo removal, or finding a way to modify the design. When Pam Anderson split from Tommy Lee, she had her “Tommy” ring tattoo changed to “Mommy”! Others have opted to get a bigger tattoo that camouflages the existence of any ring at all.
Couples should be forewarned that the finger doesn’t heal as reliably as other parts of the body - thus the tattoo may look blurry or spread out.
