Can I play CPW, too?!?! AKA, should we get tattoos?
Okay, minor background: DH and I have 4 tattoos between us, that we both got before we met. Ever since we were engaged, we've been talking about getting small matching tattoos for our first anniversary, which is next month. We were planning to get our wedding date tattooed discreetly under our wedding rings (on the underside of the finger, adjacent to the palm).
We both have this week off of work, so we're trying to find some fun things to do so we don't just sit around and watch TV/go on GP all week. I reminded him that we wanted to do this around now anyway, so we called a tattoo place about getting these done today, and the guy DH talked to recommended not doing them on our fingers since they will fade and run really quickly. Now we're considering getting them done on the insides of our wrists instead. We figure that way we can still wear a watch or something if we end up needing to cover them up. What does GP think?

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermThe fact is, none of us KNOW that we'll be married to the same person forever. We think we will, we want to, we hope to, but we don't know.
H and I have talked about getting matching tattoos together, but they'd be in memory of someone we love and not a reflection of our relationship, even though it is something that only the two of us share.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussI want tattoo, but have never settled on exactly what I want. I think I know, but then I change my mind. If you sleep on it tonight & still want it there in the morning, then I would go for it. My original vote was to sleep on it.
I don't mind relationship tattoos; I'm not sure that I'd ever get one but the thought has crossed my mind before. Lets be honest, I'm more likely to get a tattoo for my cat than my husband lol.
If you are worried about placement I would suggest getting a temporary tattoo, sticking it where you are debating on getting a real one and see how you feel about it after a couple of days. If having a temporary tattoo on your wrist bothers you then you'll know that isn't the right place for a real one.
