Tattooing your love's name on your arm, chest or breast is very common, but it's not always the best call. If you get your heart broken the next day, the name will still be there. There are better ideas for tattoos to commemorative your love. For example, get a tattoo of the date of your anniversary. That way, if it ends one day, the date will still be significant without as many hard feelings. You can also get your love's nickname tattooed on your wrist or arm.
In most cultures, hearts represent love or deep emotion. On Valentine's Day, there are so many products with hearts that it becomes ridiculous. Still, many tattoos utilize a heart motif to great effect. A tattoo of a broken heart on your chest or limb shows lost love, while a tattoo of two hearts shot through with an arrow indicates smitten, star-crossed love. Consider inking a smattering of tiny hearts around your love's name.
Animals are popular for many kinds of tattoos, but they can also symbolize a pure animal bond like nothing else. Penguins mate for life, so get a penguin tattoo and have your partner getting a matching one. Consider two swans facing each other head-to-head, so their necks form a heart.
While a wedding ring is a well-known symbol of romantic love and monogamy, tattooing rings on your fingers is permanent. You can't take it off and go out to the bars pretending to be single. Matching ring tattoos show your unflinching commitment to your mate and willingness to show everyone.
