Tattoo legend has it that if you get a tattoo of a romantic partner’s name, or get a matching tattoo with them, that the relationship is doomed. This further before and after anecdotal evidence is by Curtis Richter at The Quillian in Allentown, PA.
I have three matching tattoos with ex-partners. Two dumped me, I dumped the other. I can’t say I won’t do it again, because I record my life with my body, and I don’t regret any of the tattoos in the least… But from everything I’ve seen, I’d suggest this curse applies in at least 80% of cases.

This is why you talk your mate out of having your name on his/her body.
I did.
And boy am I glad.
Anyway, I laughed! =]

I like that a lot more than a cover-up that would have completely hidden it :>
I feel the need to admit that my fiancé and I are getting small matching tattoos, and he has an abstract tattoo of me on his chest. I tried to talk him out of the latter, but he said something similar to what you wrote: He couldn’t imagine no longer loving me, but if we did break up, that wouldn’t change the fact that it had happened and made him who he is.

That’s the coolest thing ever.. Better than a cover-up, no doubt about it!

In my office I do all kinds of laser stuff, but tattoo removal is just an unhappy time for all. Results can be good but it’s painful, expensive and never seems to make people really happy. I always recommend a local shop and send people for cover art when I can. This is an alternative that I like a whole lot. Something new to suggest.

80%?
What happens to the other 20%? Do they die together, holding hands, with beatific smiles on their wizened faces? In the long view, 100% of relationships are doomed anyway.

Someone got something similar to this – she had an ex’s name on her arm, and got a “VOID” stamp tattooed on top of it.

The curse also holds true if your partner is the one tattooing you. I’ve been unfortunate enough to have that happen TWICE. Never again will i let a tattoo artist that i’m involved with ink me.

Hmmm….my wife’s family name means magpie in her language, so I got a magpie tattooed over my heart. I sure hope that’s crafty enough to fool the curse…

it’s because you are giving them your world in a sense which is what ruins it all since they don’t know what to do with your world. they have their own to work with and if they do wrong(in your opinion) to your world it just fucks it up.
i got her lips tattooed on my shoulder blade. lets put it this way, i am glad the curse worked in this case. hahahaahaha. but i will never regret the tattoo i got because it means so much more then just her.

Was the name tattooed over with white ink, or does it just look more faded in comparison to the new addition?
