With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, there is only one thing on our minds – all of the couple tattoos that will inevitably happen that day. For a long time, our feelings on couple tattoos have been divided. While a lot of designs are absolutely adorable, we can’t help but fear what will happen if the couple breaks up.
We have to caution those who are thinking about getting ink with their beau. There are endless stories of couples who have been tattooed together just to split months later. Not to mention, you’ll pay for it later in the form of laser removal or a cover-up tattoo. But still, if you’re years into a relationship and want to celebrate committing your life to a single person – go for it! Below, you’ll find some inspiration for your future couples tattoo.
Some matching plane silhouettes would be perfect for a long distance couple who wants to feel connected through their ink.
