35 Sweet Matching Relationship Tattoo Designs & Meanings – Only Love (2019)
Relationship tattoos can be a great option for the love birds. These are types of tattoos that are drawn on the body, just like any other tattoo. The only difference with these tattoos is that they tend to be incomplete.
They will either be incomplete, or they will be a single character, which is obviously male or female. The other partner will have the other half or the other character of the tattoo, so they will only be complete when the two are close together.
Such a tattoo can be presented as a gift to a loved one, and the Infinity Ring can also be a great gift for a loved one.

Meaning of the couple tattoos
The couple tattoos have no any other special meaning than to show affection for each other. They are also used as a sign of showing completeness between the two people. Some will be designed as a commitment to be together through every challenge.
On the other hand, some will be drawn to show a lifetime union, especially after getting married.
There are others that will be designed with romantic words, which complement the other partner. Conversely, others will have words that are incomplete, like a sentence that will only be complete when the two are close together.

Placement
The placement of the couple tattoos will depend on the couple and also the type of that tattoo. Smaller tattoos are placed in smaller areas and they don’t entail a lot of details. One thing about these tattoos is that they need total commitment, since they tend to be permanent.
For that, the couple applying the tattoo must be fully committed and determined to be together forever.
Here is a look at the common placements of the couple tattoos;
- Wrist and arm
A number of the couple tattoos are placed on the wrist, especially the inner wrist. They will contain different characters, ranging from heart tattoos, cupid characters and even words. When the two people put their wrists together, you will be able to see the completeness of these tattoos.
They can also be placed on the arm, either on the inner section or on the outer arm. The characters will also vary from one couple to another.
- Fingers
Another common area that the couple tattoos are placed is on the fingers. They will either be placed on the side of the fingers or on the outer part of the finger.
Depending on the type of the tattoo, they will either be placed on the base or in the middle part of the finger, but not on the tip. The exact placement on the finger will be same for both partners.
- At the back, near the shoulder
They can also be placed at the top left or right of the back, near the shoulder. These are areas that are most suitable for the characters that are literally meant to appear perfect and complete from a distance.
- Leg
The tattoos can also be applied on the leg, especially along the side, near the ankle, though it can be in the middle section of the leg. They can also be drawn on the muscles at the back of the leg.
- Side-palm
The couple tattoos can also be drawn on the side of the palm, which will have slightly bigger characters, which will be visible to the public when the love birds walk hand-in-hand.
Other areas that the tattoos can be placed, which tend to be more personal, include the thigh, especially on the sides, the side of the chest, or even slightly above the waist. These tattoos that are drawn in the hidden areas tend to be drawn for the sake of intimacy.
