Not a fan. A tattoo should be a personal thing.

there was already a post like this. and it’s tacky.

Tacky.

Whatever rocks your socks though i guess :/ x

My sisters and I are getting matching tattoos. It all depends on who you’re getting it with and what it’s going to be/mean.

i think it really depends. with a couple it’s usually a bad idea, just in case. but my sister and i are both getting tattoos that say ” there is strength in the differences between us, and there is comfort where we overlap.” it’s an ani difranco quote. and i don’t think its tacky because we are best friends and family and always will be. 

First one eh, second has some merit if that is what your into. I’m not into ink myself but, I know a lot of people who are

If it’s family, then it’s not tacky because you will always be family.

But friendships and relationships…? No. A lot end and you’re stuck with a tattoo that reminds you of that person FOREVEEERRRR (or until you go through that painful tattoo removal surgery).

It depends.

i have a matching tattoo with an ex.  we both fell in love listening to a band.  throughout our relationship we had a lot of things happen where something with the band would come up.  we were going to get lyrics from a song, but we ended up getting one of the album logos with the words give it all.  even though we are not together, we are still incredible friends and i wouldn’t regret it.

I got one with my boyfriend!! I know boyfriend-girlfriend tattoos are really looked down upon, but I don’t care. I live my life with no regrets. We got three little red circles on our wrists, and they line up when we hold hands. We got them tattooed after dating for two weeks, and we’ve been together for 1 year and 9 months so far. If we break up, I’ll look at the tattoo as a reminder of how I felt about him when I got it…. I would look at it in the same way that a person would look at a diary entry they wrote about a new love interest, long after the love has faded. It’s a symbol of the hope I had for the relationship and love I felt. It will always be a reminder to take chances and hope for the best. I’m sure he has his own “meaning” for it. We didn’t put that much thought into it at the time.

I think matching tattoos can be cute, but I don’t like the idea of writing another person’s name on you. I mean it’s MY body, why would I label it with someone else’s name?

I mean… it can be cute. Once again, it depends on the person and the tattoo.

Personally?  NO!  We’ll leave it at that. 

If its with family, then I’m okay with it. Anything else just seems like asking for the relationship to go bad. One of my tattoos was inspired by a friend, one was inspired by my then-SO, but none of mine intentionally match anyone else’s that I know.

Totally depends on the tattoo. I mean my aunt, sister and I have matching ones. We all have a dragonfly because they remind us of my mom but we all have different ones. My aunts is a normal dragonfly, my sister has an abstract one and I have an actual dragon with dragon fly wings, we got them to suit our personality as well as the meaning. 

But the star one in the first picture looks tacky.

i want to say cute.
but just cant do it… as long as its personal and the meaning/reason if special

I normally don’t go for it, but i actually do like that second one. It looks like it could be a unique tattoo in itself, so it’s not too cheesy-matchy.

Depends. It could be regretful. 

I guess it depends on the meaning of the tattoo and how close you are with the person.

The second one is absolutely adorable, though :]

haha, people may think it’s cute to get one with your SO but once you break up, it must suck.

not into tattoos at all… but I think it’d be cute for people who are =)

@Manstration@xanga - Can’t a personal thing be shared between two people? Can’t it be personal to them?

My bf and I have matching tattoos by accident. Well, his is colored in and says “Never” at the base of the flame and has no heart, like mine does, but still. Anyway I think I stated my opinion in another blog like this.

My sister and I are getting matching tattoos.  A cresent moon with surrounding stars with our grandmother’s name underneath.

Neither really.

depends,the second is cute. the first picture is gross.

definitely tacky

I have a matching tattoo with my sister, we both have the symbol for pisces tattooed on our wrists. I’m glad we decided to get tattoos to represent the bond we share together. =]

It can be tacky.. But if you do it right it probably is very nice.

Yes I would! But those stars are WAY tacky.
They’re matching about 1,000,000 other people lol!

@SporkTheEmu13q@xanga - Yay ani!

It’s all up to the people who get the matching tattoos. If they have a deep connection and won’t regret it later on, then that’s cool. 

I have a matching one with my sister. It’s in memory of our younger siblings who passed away. They’re in different places though. Mine’s on my shoulder, and her’s is in between the shoulders and below her neck.

My sisters and I have matching tattoos.
“sisters” in japanese.
I know, chinese/japanese symbol tattoos are lame.  But I don’t care.  We knew that’s what it said, and it actually means something to us.

bleh. 

Not tacky, just not a good idea….that’s so dumb.

i mean it’s cute BUT. what if you dont last with the person. that’s the only thing.

I have a matching tattoo with two other girls, both of whom I am no longer friends with. I still think my tattoo suits my personality. Sometimes, I think about having it redone so that it is a lil more personalized.

Tacky

tacky or cute i dont know, but im sure is not very smart

It totally depends on the piece. For one thing, I’d never got someone else’s name on me. Second, I’d never do half a tattoo that is completed by someone else’s tattoo. But I think that tattoos that represent people and things like that can be sweet, if they’re done well. My husband and I both have “0929″ on our wrists, it’s our wedding date. Sure, some people could say that it’s a bad idea, because we might split up…but it’s that mindset that causes breakups in the first place.

Cute, but probably not worth the risk of a falling out.

 I’ve done it with my best friend of 15 years about 8 years ago and LOVE it. We’re “attached” at the hip with our tattoos. I say go for it as long as it’s not names or pictures of each other.

@LauraG0929@xanga - Cute idea. My best friend and her husband got their wedding date tattooed across the back of their necks and both get a lot of crap about it… but I like the idea.

No… tattoos should be for you, not to match someone else’s tat.

that second one is kind of hot and me and my friends thought about it. i really love them. my friends.

Tattoos are fuckin sexy. But it’s all about personality. Not match it for a trend. >.>

My best friend and I both have hello kitty tattooed on our wrists I think its cute as long as you do care for the other person, or the spur of the moment@

Depends on who you get a matching tattoo with and why, a boyfriend/girlfriend & since as much as you hope marriage is forever there are no guarantees husband/wife, and many friends shouldn’t do it! If you can’t promise that the tattoo is something you won’t regret later due to a break-up or friendship ending then go for it.
I don’t think they are either tacky or cute (depending on the people and why).
My best friend and I have matching tattoos, but we have been best friends my entire life (she is 1 year older) and we have been through enough to know we will always be best friends, and if something were to happen and we were no longer friends that the tattoo would still mean something to us.
I also know of several people who have done tribute tattoos when a loved one has died that and those were all very nice.  

nope~!

i was gonna get one with my best friend, someone that i have been thru hell and back with. But the friendship ended. Thank god we didn’t do it

I am not a fan of the idea of matching tattoos. It’s a bit tacky to be honest :/

@actualization@xanga - relationships aren’t forever. You are the only permanent factor to yourself.

my mom, sisters, and i all have abstract elephants on our left ankles. my grandmother loved elephants, and she’d wanted to get a tattoo of them marching around her ankle before she died, but she was on blood thinners so she couldn’t.
we don’t all have them in the same color, but i love them.

my best friend and i also have a treble clef/heart/peace sign behind our left ears. i couldn’t regret that because i don’t see us ever losing our friendship. but even if we stop being friends one day, i still like the tattoo. i designed it. peace, love, and music, yo.

i plan on doing this soon with my boyfriend.
it’s not a blatant sort of thing, like getting his name on me,
but all the same, it’s something we both enjoy
that doesn’t have to be limited to our relationship.

it’s a radiohead thing. :]

For family and teams and things like that (you won’t break up) I think it’s cool… But for couple, not so much.

@Manstration@xanga - That’s true, but even though it doesn’t last forever, it can still be personal. And why do we try to forget relationships that ended? Even if it ends bad, there were good moments, and there was a lesson learned. Why do we try to alienate ourselves from our pasts, when our pasts are an integral part of who we are today?

Tacky. Why would you want something permanently on your body if it doesn’t mean something?

It’s cute, as long as it’s discreet matching, rather than something obvious and obnoxious, where you can tell someone else has the other half.

if it has meaning, if it’s someone you truly love- family more so? if it’s something never regretted and will always bring great memories, it’s worth it.

but if you do something from the whim?
especially writing each other’s names? i’m not a fan of that…
unless it’s for the dead  or respected/admired? dernoo.

I would never do that.

Ehh. Depends I guess.

i do like the 2nd one.

i think it’s tacky for those who can’t pull it off.

tackyyy

Most are tacky, but the right people can make them cute. You just need the right thing with the right idea behind it. There has to be a reason for it.

I think it depends on the couple. If the couple is just a cute couple who’re in love and wanna get matching tattoos, it’s cute. If it’s a couple TRYING to be cute and get matching tattoos, then it’s tacky. I suppose it depends on the tattoo design too.

It depends on who you are getting it with i guess.

If it’s your family or wife/husband then i think it’s cute.

If not, then its tacky.

if its meaningful and has original aspects, i think its cute. my best friend and i are thinking of getting one.

@actualization@xanga - i agree.

some people i dont think realize the meaning of a tattoo. it can be an amazing form of art and expression. but its also very permanent and personal (or anyway it SHOULD be.) but personal things can be shared between more than one person. i know two sisters that got matching tattoos for their mother who recently passed away. how is that tacky? it isnt. it has deep meaning.

it completely depends on the people who are getting the tattoos. and as long as they understand what it means to get a tattoo and they are 100% confident and comfortable in their decision then who am i to judge?

Tacky, Unless it really means something

It really depends on what the tattoo is of, the placement, and who it’s with.  If my best guy-friend said he wanted to, and I could be comfortable with the design and the placement then I would totally do it.  I’d love to get something with my sister when she’s older.

it’s kinda cute, but i’d never do it personally, and if one of my friends did it, I’d think they were mad.

crap. people are imperfect. and relationships fail. If you do that it will be on your skin THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. stupid people these days!

My friend and I were thinking about getting matching tatoos with a hand holding a heart shaped grenade saying underneath it “hold on to our hearts 4ever” or something like that, but were thirteen and our parents would never let us do that. I think that lots of tattos on a person is tacky, but one or two isn’t going to kill you. If it’s on a reasonable spot on your body.

It COULD be cute.

Tacky. I would never get one that matches my significant other, nor will I get their name on me.

Tackier than moon boots.

Usually tacky. But it depends.

it does kind of depend upon the meaning, symbol / picture, etc… but, 99.9% of the time, it’s incredibly tacky

it really depends on whether it’s meaningful or just something stupid like the picture above (the military star)

@NadoAngel@xanga - Exactly!!!

I dislike it. I think it’s weird because who knows what your feelings about this particular person are going to be in the future.

Its cute.. so long as the people getting matching things have a close relationship, or in a couples case stay together.

SO SO SO SO SO incredibly tacky. words can’t even describe how tacky this is.

Why use an image hosted on photobucket?  Why not just upload it to xanga?  I can’t view the first picture.  It’s cute, but it depends on the circumstances.

To me the tattoo has to have a meaning and it depends on who i’d get it with.

I’d rather get a matching tattoo with someone than have their name on me.

And the tattoo would have to mean something special.

cute:)

I like the circular design. I went to the image source and they were pretty much all retarded except for the crosses and the words in a different language, which I would assume to be their names.

I want to get one with my twin sister. Pretty sure she’s not going anywhere.

Tacky, but it really depends on the person. I have friends who have dedicated an inch or two of their bodies to a friend who recently passed away. That, I can’t call tacky.

my 3 best friends and i got matching diamond tattoos after being friends for about 3 weeks. i don’t regret it for a single second.

It all depends.

my best friend of 15 years and i got this:

http://12.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kty86nGohb1qzabkfo1_500.jpg

we both grew up in broken homes, and we’re leaving for college in august…it symbolizes us finally escaping. it all depends on the tattoo, and the story behind it.

No way! Tattoos are on YOUR body and they should be about you and only you… I feel like my identity would be lost if I had to share a tattoo on my body with someone else.

Hmmmmm. As long as it’s well thought out and original. Maybe something personal to the pair getting them. Also, I really like the idea of a matching tattoo with a best friend (I’m planning on doing this soon), but not the whole boyfriend-girlfriend vibe. Naaaaaah.

i know one couple that did it (“it” involved birds and vines, if i recall) and lived to regret it!  

Bad idea. My cousin did it with her x. Now she has a constant reminder of him on her ankle and it kind of haunts her wherever she goes.
