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?
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.
