matchy matchy: our tattoos
hi everyone and oh happy day to you all!
over the weekend tom and i got our matching tattoo's! it was such a great day because that morning was when we went swimming with our adorable clemie-buns and then headed back down to sf to get tatttooed. my tattoo artist moved to the mission so it was our first time being at the new shop.
we had been wanting to get a tattoo together for some time and couldn't find anything that we both really liked. one day while getting pizza i spied a guy with a square knot on his forearm and really liked it. i passed the idea by tom and asked what he thought if it were more like a bracelet that went around our wrists and he totally dug the idea. like a permanent friendship bracelet :)
i was a bit nervous as the wrist is a very sensitive place and really, it wasn't at all what i thought it was going to be. she is just so awesome and we talk the entire time and you end up kinda forgetting about the pain. plus it was so fast! the moment she started minutes later she was done! awesome, right?
now this one is done, i have been thinking of getting a tattoo on my finger like the girl in the above picture. (i am kinda obsessed with this picture) i think when i get my matching diamond tattoo with kelly anne that i will have her do this as well. aaahhh the ever addicting cycle of getting tattoos! already gearing up for my christmas tattoo too!

Wow - that is such a sweet idea, I like how its unique and not kind of a clique. That wee diamond tattoo is cute too - how exciting!
ReplyDeletethanks trees! i cant wait to get the diamond too!
Deleteawwww love the matching tattoos such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the matching tattoos! They are absolutely gorgeous, what a wonderful idea!!
ReplyDeleteawwdorable. okay I sounded like an idiot. It is super adorable though. Jake wants to get "matching" tattoos too except they'll be words on the wrist that we say to each other. So they won't be exactly the same. Kind of like each other's pet name but not that cheesy sounding.
ReplyDeletethat sounds really awesome, i love that idea. super personal. i am really loving having a wrist tattoo! hope you guys get them!
DeleteOh wow I love them! Those are definitely the nicest Couple's Tattoos I've ever seen!
ReplyDeletethanks eleni!
DeleteThey're lovely tattoos! I like the idea of the rop knots. Very sweet. I've been itching for a new tattoo. It's just a matter of time, money, and courage. I just keep hearing my mothers voice in my head. I think if she found out I had a tattoo she might die lol. Just because I'm a "grown up" doesn't make these things any easier!
ReplyDeletehaha whenever i get a tattoo, my mom, whines and says "my babies skin!!" she loves them though and loves them more that i design them! i hope you get one soon!
Deletei LOVE them! this is such a great idea. i recently got two hearts on my wrist & my husband got two legos in the same color to represent our little boys...it's kind of our version of a matching tattoo :)

i love that idea too! they don't have to be the same tattoo!
DeleteAwww I LOVE this. I've wanted to get a matching tattoo with my hubby, I think it's so sweet. Ya'lls looks just great!
ReplyDeletexo,

freaking amazing! your new ink looks stellar and such a sweet idea :) and the finger tattoo would definitely be bad ass! DO IT!!! :)
ReplyDeletethanks cacye! i can't wait to get the finger tattoo ;)
Deleteoh i like this! you guys are too cute!
ReplyDeleteWow they are super cool and stylish! Awesome idea, they look so cute when you hold hands!

That is just too beautiful and incredible. I love your tattoos. And the holding hands photo is a tear-jerker!
ReplyDeleteawwww. I love them! Normally I dont dig the idea of matching tats cause usually they are lame but I really dig the design and it looks great on the both of you. I want to get a second tat soon, but am having a hard time narrowing it down. I love the idea of a wolf on my back but it seems to be overdone. So many choices!
ReplyDeleteDO IT! i love the idea of the wolf too! it would be so bad ass on you, GET IT GET IT GET IT!
DeleteCool! My fiance and I got each others names on our butts but we're looking in to one that others actually see now too. I love the "permanent friendship bracelet" idea! Cute!
ReplyDeletehaha i love it! i have a butt tattoo idea but i will not mention it as i don't want someone to steal my brilliant idea!
DeleteLOVE wrist tattoos... I've always wanted a charm bracelet. The rope and knot design is so beautiful and simple.
ReplyDeletethey look fabulous, so simple, yet gorgeous! I've never seen rope used a bracelet tattoos before and really love it! think the matching finger tats would be cool :) xox
ReplyDeleteAww! That is a really sweet idea! I love those. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! That is such a great idea and it has a beautiful meaning behind it. Ugh I still need to get up the nerve to get my owl tattoo I just can't find someone to come with. The finger tattoos in the photo look pretty awesome. If I didn't work in the public I'd get Awesome Opossum on my fingers (seriously I say it all the time.)

I love these tattoos, they are so pretty and I really love the photo of your two hands joined :) xo
ReplyDeleteYou guys are just too cute :) Love the tattoos! And that picture is pretty awesome. I really like the tattoo under her chin.
ReplyDeleteawww i love them! i have to cover my tattoos at my new job and it's making me wish i had a laser... i love my tattoos but i'm sweating to death in long sleeves! why can't people just deal with it??? one of the many reasons we need to open xanadu II.

i love the idea of this! seriously so cute :] i'm currently planning out my next tattoo. i can't wait to get it!
ReplyDeleteThat's super cool that you guys got matching tattoos! I love the idea that it's a permanent friendship bracelet. I have always thought it would be cool to get a finger tattoo. I like the diamond looking ones, and the heart.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend that always wanted a seahorse on the outside of her hand along the pinky. That way the tail could be on the pinky finger and any time she curled her finger, it would be like the seahorse was curling his little tail. I still love that idea.
Cheers on your new tattoos!
the matching ropes are incredible and i like that they aren't exactly the same. they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's so sweet how you both have a permanent friendship bracelet now :D
ReplyDeleteincredible you guys! i love the designs and what they mean to you!!! the wrist is a tad tender, mine was most sensitive on the edges where the bone is close to the skin but well worth every eency wince. no wonder you're finding it hard to look away now, my eyes would be glued to that wrist. looks fab lades!!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteloveeeee this. like a lot. a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love them! Such a sweet idea. I have always wanted a tattoo on my wrist, for some reason. I will probably get either some buttons or a crochet hook w/yarn at some point.
