I strongly suggest you shouldn't go ahead with this tattoo stuff. Your fiance might love you so much but its not out of love that he wants you guys to have matching tattoos because from the look of things he is accustomed to having tattoos of who eva he is in a relationship with,so if u want him for a husband you really need to start considering making him the man you want.how do u actually feel seeing the other womans name and u want to write something connected to you around it.it feels like a second choice. though we aint praying for that ,what if u guys break up,how will you live with that??Think about it

Obviously you don't want names because if you do break up it'll always be there. Speaking of which i would have his ex girlfriends tattoo removed.

reader, anonymous, writes (11 June 2011): There's loads you could do really. Personally I think you both having the exact same tattoo would be tacky. I'd go for something like the sun and the moon, you have the sun he has the moon. Or you could what my friends did and get the men and women's toilets symbol tattooed on each other, funny as hell but they like them.
You could have yin and he could have yang, or you both could have half a heart each on the back of your calves and when you place them together it completes the heart.
The best way to go is to have symbol that will uniquely represent him on your body and the other way around for him.
Say he's an artist by profession you could get a tattoo of a painting being painted.
If I was ever going to do it though I'd prefer if my girlfriend designed mine and I designed hers. That would be the most special way I think. It would be completely unique and it would be work of art your loved one designed and put on your body.
As for him getting the other girls name removed just get him to cover it up with another tattoo, or put a line through it.

If you two don't work out, do you really want something that always reminds you of him on your body? Do you think the men you date in the future won't ask you about it?
I think you should ask him to have his ex-girlfriend's name removed from his arm, especially since you two are getting married. It is part of his past, yes, but honestly, he doesn't need that tattoo because he probably doesn't care about her anymore.

 HI
Well having his ex name on his arm is part of his history, so you cant really make him have it covered or removed. I would think twice about having a tattoo as once there it will never go, and if you two dont work out, you will always have that as a reminder. CAN YOU LIVE WITH THAT?
If you can then how about having a barcode on the back of your knecks, the numbers will be your date of births, and the date you met? or maybe you have a yin and he has a yan on your wrists, and when you put them together you are one ;) xx
