So you’re a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and have decided to get a tattoo. And not any tattoo but matching tattoos with your significant other. Well, it’s the moment to prepare because there are several things you need to take into consideration before getting inked.

You shouldn’t regret it. It’s pretty permanent unless you wish to spend a whole lot of money and suffer through great pain to get it removed. Let’s see what gay couples should think about before getting tattoos done.

Take Cues from the Circumstances When You First Met

If it’s a couple’s tattoo, it needs to be something special to just the two of you. And it needs to be very special if you are going to be looking at it every single day for the rest of your lives. In some ways, it’s actually more meaningful and permanent than marriage.

When choosing what ink to get done, you should consider important moments in your relationships. You could recall when you first met, your first date, the moment you knew you were in love, or any other crucial moment of your relationship.

When you first met is probably the most important moment (especially if you are getting several tattoos together, this is the one you should start with). Remember how you met, how you felt, where you were, music, decor, people, everything, and see if anything that could work comes to mind. Whether it was gay dating online, traditional dating game, or anything else – it would leave an emotional mark and would probably have an even stronger empathic impact than anything else.

Make Sure It Is Not a Brief Fling

If you’re pretty close to the beginning of your relationship, you need to make sure that it’s not a fling and that you two are going to go the distance and be together for a very long period. If it’s only a summer romance, then you shouldn’t risk getting a tattoo together.
