Ya’ll know I love to see Black love. My Grandparents were together for over fifty years until the time of my Granny’s death months ago. Neither of them ever felt the need to get a tattoo before their marriage or after to confirm their love. I am a fan of all Black love. However, I am not a fan of men or women, but especially women, because I empathize the most with them for obvious reasons, being foolish while in love. Singer Monica is approaching the foolish bar. She is now dating Basketball player Shannon Brown. Now, I am not going to emphasize on the rumor that he supposedly was in a relationship with his baby mother when he and Monica began dating. Whatever works for them.
What I am concerned about is the fact that the two have not been dating for an entire year and she already has his name tattooed on her wrist. What! Why girl?! There is nothing that that man could have done, within a year or so time, that is so amazing and life altering, where he now deserves his name physically placed on her for life. Or any amount of time for those who will argue that she can get it removed. My point is that it should not be there at all. At least not at this point in the relationship (for those who are into tattooing in the name of love). After only dating for about a year, I am unconvinced that any man, especially one that is not yet your husband, deserves this show of devotion and adoration. There is nothing that any man could do within a years time to make any woman run out and tattoo his name on her for life, besides dropping some penis in her pants and popping a ring on her finger with the hopes of becoming married. This is not something that I would advise ladies. First of all, the relationship is still new. So they are still learning about one another. Secondly…Read More

When it comes to relationships and sex, there is often a lot of debate about when the right time is for couples to take things to the next level. A popular new trend among young adults is tattoos before wedding rings – that is, getting inked with their partner’s name or an intimate design before they make a commitment to each other. But what does this mean? Is it just a fad, or could it be indicative of something deeper? In this article we’ll explore the motivations behind this growing phenomenon and look at both the pros and cons of taking such a big step without saying “I do”.
Tattoos are no longer seen as taboo; instead, many view them as artful expressions of love between two people. They can also be used to commemorate special moments or even serve as reminders of hard times overcome together. Getting ink done with your significant other can signify your bond in ways beyond traditional engagement jewelry, but there are still some risks involved. Namely, if one person decides they don’t want to stay committed after all, they might regret having gotten so close – literally!
Though tattooing oneself isn’t always considered “mainstream,” more and more young couples are opting for needles over diamond bands when it comes time to declare their intentions toward each other. So why has tattoos become such a popular way for couples to show their devotion? We’ll investigate further throughout this article. Stay tuned!
The Significance Of Tattoos In Relationships
Tattoos play an important role in relationships. They are often seen as a statement of commitment, and can be used to mark special occasions or milestones. Tattooing is also becoming increasingly popular among couples who want to show their love for each other in a permanent way. There are many different types of tattoos that can be chosen by couples, ranging from simple symbols like hearts and initials to more elaborate designs.
When it comes to choosing the right tattoo for your relationship, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. It’s important to think about what kind of design will have the most meaning for you both. For example, if you recently got engaged, getting couple tattoos may be a great way to celebrate this big step in your lives together. Alternatively, if you’ve been together for years already, then getting matching tattoos could be a meaningful way of showing your devotion to each other.
No matter what type of tattoo you choose for your relationship, it’s important to remember that tattoos should never replace wedding rings or any other traditional symbol of marriage. Rather than replacing these symbols with body art, consider adding something extra: get creative with how you display your commitment! Whether it’s through designing custom jewelry or simply wearing matching outfits on special occasions – there are lots of ways that couples can express their love without having to turn to ink alone.
Factors To Consider Before Taking The Leap
Before taking the plunge and getting a tattoo to commemorate your relationship, it’s important to consider a few factors. First of all, make sure you are both in agreement about the design – get input from each other before finalizing anything! It’s also important to think about what kind of placement will be best for the tattoo: some areas may hurt more than others when being worked on, so keep this in mind. And don’t forget that tattoos should always be done safely with professionals who use sterile equipment.
It can also be beneficial to talk through any potential long-term implications of getting matching tattoos together. While having something permanent etched onto your skin is definitely romantic, remember that relationships change over time. If you’re planning on getting married or if you have kids together someday, how might these images look then? Will they still hold meaning or will they become awkward reminders? Consider these questions carefully as part of your decision-making process.
Ultimately, whether or not tattoos before wedding rings are right for you depends on many different factors and individual preferences. Weigh up all the pros and cons and decide what feels most meaningful for you both – after all, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to expressing love through body art!
Conclusion
In conclusion, tattoos are becoming increasingly popular in relationships and as a symbol of commitment. While many couples opt for wedding bands to show their love and devotion, others prefer the permanence of a tattoo. Ultimately, it’s up to each couple to decide what works best for them. The important thing is that you both think carefully before taking this step so that you can be sure it will stand the test of time. It’s also essential that you make sure your partner is on board with the decision. A tattoo should represent something meaningful to both of you and signify an everlasting bond between two people. So if tattoos before wedding rings sounds like the right choice for you, go ahead—just make sure it’s done thoughtfully!
