Couple Tattoo Ideas

Couple tattoos are very popular ways to express the love that you and your partner feel for each other. They are a great way for couples to show the world their love, but you are probably wondering what out of the box ideas there are for couple tattoos. I mean, all couples could just get each other's names tattooed on their bodies, but where's the fun in that?

Couples should really look into tattoo ideas that mean something to them, which why there is a gallery of ideas listed out below. The couple tattoos are divided into several gallery categories with different couple tattoo ideas in them. There are sayings, objects, symbols, and complementary tattoos for men and women, for couples of all shapes and sizes that will help couples express their love.

Couple Tattoo Gallery: Objects

1. Crowns

For this couple tattoo, you each get a crown. You can feminize, masculinize or leave them totally unisex. This idea works for men and women.

2. Infinity Symbol

This couple tattoo symbolizes that your love for your partner is forever. A simple, yet meaningful idea for matching tattoos.

3. Rings

A lot of couples will get ring tattoos as opposed to actual rings for weddings. Way more permanent and allows you to get your perfect ring design for a (hopefully) lower price. A great idea for men and women.

4. Heartbeat

A heartbeat on each of your bodies symbolizes how you feel for each other as a couple. You keep each other living. A beautiful idea.

Get a puzzle piece tattoo on each of your bodies (and make sure they would actually fit together), as a way to show how you fit together as a couple. This is an adorable matching tattoo idea.

This simple and subtle design is great for couples who want matching tattoos but don't necessarily need them to shout out at the world that they are meant for each other.

Two doves are a symbol of lifelong companions. If this is how you feel about your partner, this is the couple tattoo idea for you.

Get the simple Q and a heart and a K and a heart (or two Ks or Qs) to signify how your partner is your King/Queen and how you are theirs. This is a great couple tattoo idea (especially if you like to play cards!).

Lock and key is another example of something that does not work without the other. This is a deep and heartfelt couple tattoo idea.

Or just two halves of a heart. The wings are just for couples who want to add a little umph to their tattoo.

Final tips and ideas

The best advice I have for ideas of couple tattoos is to get a couple tattoo that means something to both you and your partner. The idea is to have something forever on your body that will mean something forever to you as a couple. 

Sit down with your partner and have a discussion as a couple about the matching tattoos you want to consider. Talk through your ideas and decide on the best couple tattoo to get. This should be a loving and thoughtful decision and one that should be talked about with clear heads. You want your ideas to be creative and to mean something to you as a couple, so don't be afraid to pull ideas from out of the box.

Have fun with your couple tattoos and remember to have a discussion of your couple tattoo idea clearly not only with each other but with your artists as well because you will need them to understand your couple vision clearly to get the best couple tattoo. Good luck with your ideas and couple tattoos!
