Below you will find some matching tattoo ideas and why they might be perfect for you.

The animals

This is a simple idea that could be perfect for people looking for matching tattoos. If you and someone else both happen to love the same animal and want to get matching tattoos, then this is a no-brainer. You can get the exact same design in the same location, or you can get slightly different tattoos by changing the colors or making small changes to the design. You can also get “moving” animals that go one direction on one person and the other on the other person.

The quote

Similar to the animal tattoos, you can get matching quotes or get two halves of the same quote. It’s important that both of you are equally satisfied with the quote, though, since these words will be on you forever. It’s a good idea to get a quote that represents your relationship or one that you have both liked for years. Another creative idea is to get a quote tattoo that you came up with.

The playing cards

One of the more popular matching relationship tattoos are the king and queen playing card designs. Some people get just the “K” and “Q” with hearts (or another suit) underneath them. If you are looking for a friendship version of these matching tattoos, you could get any cards that you want to show your pride for the relationship. For the friendship version, you’ll get even more meaning out of the matching tattoos if you are both fans of playing cards.

The holding hands

The holding hands tat is a fantastic matching tattoo for partners and girlfriends, but it also works for parents and their children. Both people can have both of the hands tattooed in the same way, or each person can have one hand reaching out for the other. This is a fantastic matching tattoo design that has a very obvious meaning.

The drink glasses

If you and the person you’re getting matching tattoos have a love for going out and getting drinks together, then this might be the perfect set of tats for you. What’s great about it is that it is up to you what type of glasses you get and what type of coloring you want. Like with the holding hands tattoos, you can get one glass each or you can both have two glasses.
