Tattoo Ring?

I'll admit, I love all my tattoos but I elected for a ring for many reasons:

1) the elephant-in-the-room response everyone else touched on. I definitely wouldn't want to laser my finger for sure

2) Fingers fade fast. I know my studio outwardly discourages finger tattoos because they fade and need tons of touch-ups. Which brings me to

3) Pain. Bony areas hurt more and if you have an aversion to needles, I don't recommend extremities.

You could just get a ring that's not super expensive and easy to replace if something happens to it. My co-worker got hers off etsy for the same reasons you have and it looks really nice but didn't break the bank.

View quoted message I agree!!! Nobody wants to think of a marriage ending when you are planning a wedding. But the reality half of marriages end. And I guarantee you all of those couples never thought they would split. I never thought my ex husband and I would split. My fiancé never thought him and his ex wife would split. Yet here we are lol.

You can’t just take a tattoo off. And it’s not like it’s a tattoo you could cover with another.

I always say the only names you should ever tattoo on yourself are your kids and your parents lol,

View quoted message You would have to think about it yourself. Is a personal decision. But generally the closer you are to bone the more painful it is. The more “flesh” (like you’re upper arm of thigh) the less painful it is.

My husband has no tattoos and I have several, he wanted to get a wedding band tattoo because he is an electrician and can't wear his band to work. I would like to get this done personally...

We have both considered this.we are both getting a ring but the thought has been there to get our wedding date tattoo’d onto my ring finger on the inside. But that’s not for the wedding so have. Time to think on it!

Honestly, my aunt did this and they didn’t make it (they had each others initials tattooed on them) now she has this big ugly tattoo and another engagement ring over it with the last guys name pretty much. ( I’m not against tattoos got 3 myself)

Noted - I will try and think of some meaningful tattoos that I could get as practice on other areas. Anywhere you would recommend?

View quoted message Just be warned it will hurt A LOT. Any where you have a tattoo near bone it really hurts.

I would not recomend this as a first tattoo. unless you have a huge tolerance for pain.

FH and I never talked about this because it's not an option for us. FH is a tattoo virgin while I have 11 visible tattoos and I still just don't like the look of hand tattoos.

I've seen this becoming a trend but I've done the research and finger tats a) Hurt A LOT and b) fade quickly since we use our hands on a regular basis.

Neither me or my FH have tattoos but I know that this is something that I want as well. I just never wore rings growing up because my fingers are chubby and didn't fit in the claire's jewelry.... I like it even for the fact that it does mean that this marriage is forever. Me and my FH joke that we would sooner kill each other before divorcing

Here are some of the designs that I like:

Bow ring

Line ring

I don't quite care for the ones with the wedding date or hearts but those are a thing too?

As others have said tattoos on the hands tend to fade easily. Also being on the bone that will HURT! Just a heads up! I have 2 tattoos and I want one to represent my husband and I but I dont think we will do rings!

I guess in your case my concern would be the location, I have read in numerous places and even the tattoo artist that did my tattoo (not in the finger), is that it fades faster, so you'll do more touch-ups.

We both have several tattoos and are still undecided on this... We have talked about it but like a pp said - I have never seen a ring tattoo that I loved. I'm also not sure I would get one as my first tattoo but that's your call . The one thing I do like and would potentially get is a tiny outline of a heart on the top of my ring finger under where my actual ring sits.

Not going to lie, I've never seen ring tattoos that I thought looked great. But that could just be my personal preference, I've never been a huge fan of the idea and I think that's just because I'm a huge ring person, I absolutely love them. I love tattoos and I have some and plans for many many more! One of those tattoos a plan for is on my ring finger and that's our wedding date. Maybe go on Pinterest and see if there are any tattoo ring ideas you like.

Sorry that should have read I would NOT suggest if.

If you don’t have any tattoos I would suggest this. I think having a tattoo there would hurt a lot because you don’t have much “flesh” there. (I have a few). Also if you hate it. Or I know we don’t want to talk about it, but if you split years later, if will be very painful and expensive to remove.

I have seen on pinterest ideas of tattoo rings. I haven't met anyone yet with actual ring designs to their finger.
