Ring Tattoos? Anybody got one?

and here I thought this was going to be about chain ring tattoos...

good idea, might hurt a bit though, seems like that could be a pretty tender area, although I see a bunch of folks with things inked on their knuckles.

My husband and I strongly considered doing this.  I doodled a little sketch in pen just to get an idea.  The problem was that when I do wear either my wedding ring or both the engagement and wedding rings, you just see the edges of the design from underneath and it takes away from the beauty of the jewelry.

I still think it's a really cool idea but depending on the width of the band--mine's pretty skinny--it may look kinda funky when you have the rings over it so it's something to consider.

I am not worried about it being a jinx or anything else.

I think it has to be something simple though to look right

Yeah, if someone has such little faith in their relationship that they think a tattoo might "jinx" it, that's a problem...

I was considering a ball and chain on my ankle.

Use a Sharpe a few times to try to out patterns and decide whether you like the concept or not.

I take my ring off for anything that involves swimming, because it gets loose when wet. In reality, your commitment isn't an object, but an attitude.

My wife and I have talked about it off and on as well. More for me than her, I am the one always taking mine off for different activities. Mine is big and heavy so even running or biking I will take it off as it slides around once I start sweating. 

Also a tat on my finger would be easily hidden behind my ring, not so much for her.

But we haven't really pursued it or looked at designs. 

When one of the kids make it to the Olympics, the whole family is going to get the rings tattoo.

But, but, but... the gallery is titled 43 Awesome Wedding Ring Tattoos. They have to be good.

One of my main hesitations is the fact that I don't think a finger tattoo is going to hold up very well.

My wife has a tattoo on one of her toes, it looks like a smudge 7 years later. Hard to tell what it is supposed to be. 

I know a foot is going to sweat more than a hand, but I could see a finger tat going bad over time. 

x2. The last thing in the world I want is a prison wedding ring tattoo!

I have a tattoo on my ring finger as well, and I enjoy it.  It's not a band; I opted for a small infinity symbol.  In my line of work, I'm not always able to wear jewelry, so my ring comes off frequently.  I have also lost one ring on a parachute jump into Lake Tahoe (it's at the bottom in the northern part of the lake if you feel like searching...probably still looped around the band of my Casio Pathfinder watch that was ripped off my wrist by my static line as I exited the back of the 130).

Congrats on getting your ink done!
