Tattoos. In days gone by only the
rebels, the punks, rock stars and sailors would be brave enough to
undergo the needle. Fast-forward to present day and a tattoo is as
common as a soccer mom in a Chevrolet Suburban. (In fact, most soccer
moms these days have at least one tattoo.) We all know the permanency of
a tattoo, so doesn't it make sense that when you're ready to make a
lifetime commitment of love, you'd tattoo your ring?
I
think I hear a collective "Whoa, not so fast there, crazy lady. I love
her/him, and plan to be with her/him forever. But isn't a platinum or
gold band enough?" Sure, the traditional band of precious metal is a
perfect symbol to exchange at the moment you say I do. And you needn't
stick with just the tried-and-true metals, as you can select a band in
cobalt, stainless steel, palladium, Tungsten or titanium, or of course
platinum, white gold or yellow gold. And my guess is 98.5% of the female
population wouldn't give up the diamond engagement ring or a matching
diamond eternity band. But what if couples who were determined to not
fall into the 50%+ divorce statistic and really intended to stay married
for a lifetime took the wedding ring a step further?
Wedding Ring Tattoos
A
tattooed wedding ring can be a beautiful design inspired by your
culture, religion or a favorite piece of art. The tattoo could simply
be your names tattooed on each others' left fingers. It could be a
meaningful verse from scripture (Song of Solomon from the Old Testament
is filled with verses about love.) The tattoo could be I Love You in
bold block letters that wrap around your finger. It could be a Celtic
design or a band of your favorite colors, flowers or musical notes.
Wedding Ring Tattoos
If
you're a soon-to-be bride or groom and think a tattoo might be the way
to go, check out Kat Von D 's shop in L.A. Or you could always go for
less painful yet ultra cool Scott Kay wedding rings at Robbins
Brothers. Very hip designs but not as permanent.
Wedding Ring Tattoos
Before
you chicken and out and take the path of least resistance with your
future spouse, close your eyes and imagine the look on your
conservative sister's face when you post your matching tattooed wedding
rings on Facebook, for all of her snooty country club friends to see.
Now that's priceless, and worth an hour or so of the poking of a
needle, don't you think?
