Before your tattoo

Matching and couple tattoos: one idea, two people.

Matching tattoos mark a trip, a friendship or a relationship. They work best when both people love the design — and when it suits both bodies.

In short

Matching tattoos can be identical designs or complementary halves that complete each other. Because bodies differ, the studio may adjust the size or placement so the design suits each person. Send one inquiry with the number of people and each person's placement, and plan the day so both of you can keep the new tattoos out of the sea and sun while they heal.

Identical or complementary

  • Identical: the same design, often in the same place.
  • Complementary: two halves, or two related symbols that belong together.
  • Personal twist: the same base design with a small individual detail.

Placement for two

The same design can need a slightly different size on two different arms or ankles. Agree the placement together, and let the studio adapt the scale so the design looks right on both.

One inquiry, two people

In the inquiry form, choose the number of people and describe both placements. Plan the timing so you can both rest from the sea and the sun afterwards — see getting tattooed on holiday in Side.

Think it through

A matching tattoo is permanent for both of you. Choose a design each of you would still love on your own.
