Yahoo Lifestyle There's nothing more romantic than these cute AF couples tattoo ideas
Getting a tattoo is a big commitment. After all, you're permanently marking your body (ignoring the fact tattoo removal is a thing – albeit timely and expensive). This is also what makes it the perfect way to immortalise your and your partner's relationship with a couples tattoo. It's a commitment on top of a commitment.
But, what's the perfect inking for you and your S.O.? Well, that depends on your relationship. Just like getting a best friend tattoo or a mother-daughter tattoo, you want your design to represent your unique union while also being pretty enough to want it around for the long haul.
Getting each other's initials is an obvious but classic idea, while nature lovers could opt for an animal tattoo to signify their bond. Whether you opt for something small or make a statement with an XL design, there's no better way to show your love. Of course, you don't have to get something totally identical. Coordinating tattoos are a great way to express your individuality *and* dedicate to your soulmate, too.
If you're looking for couples tattoo ideas, we've rounded up some seriously cute inspo – including from some of our fave celebrity couples with matching tats. Keep scrolling for our extensive list that will have you booking into your local tattoo parlour ASAP.
