8 chimesFalling in love, getting engaged or getting hitched to your sweetheart -- they’re such life-altering, happy experiences, that many couples commemorate them with love-inspired ink. Here, a roundup of the coolest, most creative love-themed tats.
King & Queen
"When my husband and I hit the four-year mark while dating, we knew marriage was in our future, but we weren't ready to get engaged or plan a wedding (let alone pay for one). So we decided to get matching tattoos. We liked crown and heart imagery, and my husband also suggested a cherry and my hair color. Our friend, a tattoo artist, offered to do them for my birthday, so we jumped on it. He came up with the perfect layout for our idea: a cherry with wings and a crown. My husband has a king's crown and I have a queen's. We chose opposite arms so when we sit next to each other, our tattoos can be side by side. We love that even though they are considered matching tattoos, they’re different in design and placement. This photo is from our wedding in 2000." —Julia
