Both the act of marriage and getting a tattoo are two commitments you will make in your life that are supposed to last forever. So in line with that school of thought, it’s no surprise that wedding tattoos are becoming hugely popular among couples these days. Very publicly romantic, a wedding tattoo proves that you are making the biggest commitment possible to the one you love and are not afraid to cement that love. Hugely favoured by celebrities and loved up couples alike, these tattoos can serve as either accompaniments to the wedding ring or in place of.
We know that when many people hear the phrase wedding tattoos they will instinctively think of a die hard, punk-loving couple, rebelling against the societal conforms of a wedding ring. While that can be true in some cases, in others, wedding tattoos are a pretty, dainty expression of love. They don’t have to be over the top, loud or abrasive. For fear of looking trashy, many would stray away from the idea of inking your hands for the world to see, and that fear is completely understandable. But tattoos have come a long way since the days of Harley lovers, and they have been revolutionised, especially in the past decade to incorporate a sense of personal freedom, expression and taste. They can be a quote that means something special to you, an important date (like Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s wedding tattoos) or simply a charming character that symbolises your own unique love. These wedding tattoo rings are not for the faint of the heart – but for those loved up couples brave enough to do so, we have found some of our favourites. Here are our top five wedding tattoos direct from Instagram, including a very romantic pinky promise. #InstaInspo
