Get in on the latest trend..Tattoo wedding rings are the hippest and latest in the celebrity trends.
A tattooed wedding ring is a representative of solidity and commitment, a testament to love and a reminder for your responsibility as a wife. The tattooed wedding ring will say that you trust enough in the relationship to have a permanent symbol of it on your body. There are so many reasons to choose this type of wedding ring.
Adventurous couples choose tattooed wedding rings, as they are ever lasting. The permanence of a tattoo is a powerful symbol and reminder to persevere, and work things out. Some people go for tattooed wedding rings just to be modern or different from others. Some people opt for these type wedding rings as a placeholder until they can afford a real ring. Some others rebel against actual rings altogether, using tattoos as an alternative in lieu of diamond rings.

Choosing a tattooed wedding ring
Tattooed rings are much more a serious commitment and the selection of tattoo is a careful process. The tattooed wedding rings should be selected with great care as once selected cannot be changed according to the change in taste often. There are so many options in designs to choose from like the literal option of getting a ring design tattooed on their fingers, the first name, the nick name, initials of their loved ones, an image with great sentimental value, and the date on which they met or any secret code only the couples can understand.
The disadvantage of tattooed wedding bands is it never goes off and if the relationship dissolves, it’s mentally and emotionally painful to live with the ring and physically painful to get rid of it. There are means and ways to get rid of these tattoos.
Standard laser tattoo removal ranges from $1,500 to $3000 and can take up to two years. According to Tattoo artist Lisa Fasula, there was a great increase in tattooed wedding rings few years ago and now there is a great increase in tattoo erasing as the relationships ended. Might be the tattoos are more permanent than the marriages.
Some celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, Nick Carter and Paris Hilton have sealed their love in ink under the skin.
