Rose for Laurie

The use of tattoos to signify one’s love really took hold at the beginning of the twentieth century when sailors had red heart tattoos with the word Mum tattooed in the centre. Later in the second world war, soldiers often had heart tattoos with the name of their wife or girlfriend – throughout time, these tattoos have been looked upon as lucky charms. Stars and roses have also been used as tattoos to signify love.

A couple in love, may wish to express their undying love for each other with matching tattoos, complete with each other’s names, on a heart or rose, possible embellished with flames or wings and etc.

However, years pass and the couple go their separate ways, only to be left with an indelible reminder of the failed relationship – plus, it won’t exactly be endearing to a possible new partner, unless they have the same name. Then you are left with the option of having it filled in or removed with laser surgery (an expensive option). Think of Angelina’s Billy Bob tattoo, which has now been consigned to the scrap heap through laser surgery.

So, while you might be keen to express your undying love with a tattoo, it may be prudent to leave your partners name off the design – just in case the tattoo is more permanent than your love.
