The tradition of decorating the bride’s body with ornate patterns goes back to ancient times - the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and India endowed the designs with sacred power. Recently, wedding tattoos
is becoming increasingly popular, and the range of drawing methods has expanded significantly. They will be discussed in our article on the website mir-svadbi.ru.
A wedding tattoo, as a rule, is temporary: the pattern is applied using henna or shiny elements. Wedding tattoo stickers are becoming increasingly popular. However, some brave individuals prefer the traditional tattoo option, in which a special dye is injected into the skin.
Wedding tattoo ideas
In principle, when choosing a wedding tattoo, the bride should be guided only by her own taste (although it doesn’t hurt to make sure that her future husband has no prejudices).
The location of the design can be anywhere - most often it adorns the back or shoulders of the bride. In some cases, the pattern smoothly flows from the shoulder to the neck, and sometimes onto the cheeks of the hero of the occasion.
A stylish pattern is appropriate in the neckline area. Brave brides can paint their hands with patterns from wrists to shoulders, although this option is perceived ambiguously by many - the image takes on rough features. Tattoos are becoming increasingly popular, replacing openwork underwear (bra, stockings, belt, panties). Indian motifs continue to attract interest - in this country the bride’s hands and feet are decorated with patterns.
If you wish, you can come up with your own version of a wedding tattoo: for example, a beautiful bride can turn into a real angel, acquiring openwork “wings”.
The theme of a wedding tattoo is very extensive - floral motifs, butterflies, hearts, hieroglyphs, doves and even portraits of the heroes of the occasion are in fashion. Unusual ornaments and blurry silhouettes look original.
Some couples order another version of a wedding tattoo - the design follows the contours of the wedding rings (often this decoration is not applied with henna and glitter, but with a permanent dye and remains for life).
Wedding star tattoos
Some celebrities also got tattoos for their wedding. Unfortunately, most of their marriages have already broken up, but do not rush to take this as a bad sign. The life of stars, including personal life, is not so simple in itself.
Celebrities who have had paired tattoos:
- Pavel Priluchny and Agata Muceniece. Famous actors got their ring tattoos on their fingers not for their wedding, but a few years after it, when they already had two children. Despite a balanced and seemingly mature decision, the couple still broke up. Agatha simply solved the problem with the tattoo - she “interrupted” it with another image.
- Olga Buzova and David Manukyan. The couple got engaged not long ago, and on their next trip to Thailand, they got matching tattoos on their wrists in the form of an infinity sign.
- Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton. This couple was quite eccentric, their romance was stormy, and their wedding was strange. The newlyweds wore trousers and white T-shirts, on which they wrote their names in blood, and also wore vials with each other's blood around their necks. Therefore, their paired tattoos with each other’s names do not seem such a strange act. And although this is one of the stars’ short marriages, everyone will remember it for a long time. Later, the actress got a tattoo with the name of her ex-husband.
You can get paired tattoos not only for a wedding, but also for an anniversary, engagement or the birth of a child. If you decide to visit a tattoo artist before the wedding, the portal www.svadbagolik.ru advises doing this at least 2 weeks before the celebration, so that the designs have time to heal and look beautiful on the day of the celebration.
Wedding henna tattoo
A temporary wedding tattoo is performed using a harmless natural dye - henna. Red henna, when applied to the skin, allows you to reproduce a brown-orange range of shades.
Black henna is a mixture of red henna and paraphenylenediamine (an organic dye). The latter option allows you to expand the color range, but the paint can cause a negative reaction in the body - if you have sensitive skin or a tendency to allergies, you should avoid it.
A temporary tattoo is applied to the surface of the skin. During the work, brushes, pencils, and adhesive stencils are used. The area of skin where the wedding tattoo will be located is peeled and treated with eucalyptus oil.
The design is transferred to the skin using a stencil or film, and then the contours are painted over with a thick layer of henna paste, which is removed after an hour (the skin absorbs the dye during this time). At the final stage, the artist complements the tattoo with shiny elements - rhinestones, shimmering powder.
Place for number tattoo
The small volume, clear lines and many variations in design allow you to apply a tattoo to almost any part of the body, right down to the inside of the cheek. If this solution seems too extreme, you can choose from more traditional places: wrist, neck, back of the head, shoulder or ankle. For example, on Penelope Cruz’s leg there is the number “883”, which means the incredibly popular model of the Harley Davidson brand.
Tattoos with the wedding date, applied instead of a wedding ring, look interesting. Numbers can also be divided by placing parts of the whole on symmetrical parts of the body: arms, legs, buttocks, shoulder blades. For example, the famous rapper Emenem depicted the letter D on his left hand, and the number “12” on his right - the name of his first group.
Wedding glitter tattoo
A glitter tattoo (glitter tattoo or crystal tattoo) is more than appropriate at a wedding. The design is created using shimmering or fluorescent elements (sparkles, sand, powder).
The drawing should be placed on open areas of the body. At the request of the bride, a stencil or handmade can be used (in the second case, the master will reproduce any drawing).
The technique of applying a tattoo is not very complicated: the artist applies glue to the area of skin subjected to peeling, which does not irritate the skin and merges with it, and then “draws” the selected design using shiny material. Sparkling particles have different colors and sizes (the latter factor affects the degree of light reflection). The tattoo stays on the body from two days to three weeks.
Options for couple tattoos: with names, wedding date and symbols
Ideas for wedding tattoos can be very diverse - from images of classic wedding rings to funny drawings. There are plenty to choose from!
Rings
The most common option is paired wedding tattoos in the form of a ring. Moreover, in most cases it is not just a thin rim around the ring finger, but a pattern: a braid, braid or ornament.
Numbers
Many couples prefer to “imprint” important dates for their relationship on their bodies. They can be depicted as Arabic or Roman numerals. Most often, a wedding date tattoo is placed on the finger or other parts of the hand, so also pay attention to the options:
- date of acquaintance - the day when you met and realized that you could not live without each other;
- date of birth of the child - it is clear that most often this is done after the wedding, but these tattoos will not become less wedding-like;
- a number that is symbolic for both - for example, if you were born on the same number, or both consider it your lucky one.
Names
A bride with a tattoo of the groom's name and vice versa - what could convey your feelings even more convincingly? By the way, this design is usually too large to be applied to the ring finger, so many couples choose another place for it - the wrist, forearm or neck.
Letters
However, most often, instead of a full name, newlyweds exchange their initials. A wedding tattoo of this type can be easily fixed if the couple suddenly separates. Another trick is to add the English Mr and Mrs, which will indicate your status.
Words and phrases
“Always forever”, “trust”, “love”, “I love him”, “I love her”, “mine”, “mine” - there are many options for words and phrases that can be applied as a tattoo. It all depends on what meaning you want to put into this drawing. Most often, such “serious” options are chosen by couples who decide to get a tattoo for their wedding anniversary. They already have experience of family life behind them. And they can say with confidence whether they are ready to live together in sorrow and joy until the end of their days.
Some lovers type in words and expressions that only they understand. For example, what they affectionately call each other when they are alone. It could also be some kind of “joke” that only two people can understand.
Symbols
Instead of wedding rings, wedding day numbers or initials, you can choose symbolic tattoos. Options for tattoos with symbols: infinity sign, yin and yang, heart, king and queen, sea anchor as a symbol that you have found a pier, Chinese characters, etc.
Tattoo continuation
Such wedding tattoos are a symbol of the fact that you are two halves of one whole. The drawing begins on the body of one partner and continues on the body of the second - symbolically and for a long time. An example could be two halves of an apple, a flower, a heart, a circle.
Tattoo with humor
If you have a good sense of humor, you can choose a funny drawing. For example, a lock and key; incomplete pizza and missing piece; puzzle pieces that fit together. Or cartoon characters - squirrel and nut from Ice Age, Chip and Dale, Mickey and Mini.
Precious wedding tattoo
Wealthy brides can order a crystal tattoo based on Swarovski crystals. Shiny elements, as in the case of a shimmering tattoo, are applied to a hypoallergenic adhesive base. Bridal fashion is dominated by three-dimensional decorations reminiscent of exquisite costume jewelry.
If desired, you can order a tattoo based on gold or platinum foil - this option is traditionally complemented by rhinestone inserts. The cost of this exclusive jewelry reaches $2,000.
Wedding tattoo stickers
Tattoo stickers consist of a base and an ultra-thin film with a pattern. This is perhaps the most convenient and inexpensive option for a temporary tattoo - the design lasts about two days, and then it is removed with a sponge and soap. It is worth remembering that stickers are always applied to smooth, peeled skin - otherwise they will not stick.

When examining a catalog with sketches and photos of tattoos with dates, it is difficult to give preference to any part of the body. The only options that are eliminated are those where the numbers are hidden under clothing, since by stamping a date on the body, a person still wants to make it public to some extent, inviting the observer to share his joy or sadness with him.
- A hand that is constantly in the field of view of the interlocutor, or any random passer-by or fellow traveler in transport, would be perfect for a date tattoo.
- The date also looks good on the leg, but the numbers there should be printed boldly and without small decorative elements that are difficult to see from above.
- Girls love to put important dates on their necks, placing Roman numerals along the spine or horizontally.
- Newlyweds can try getting a wedding date tattoo on their ring fingers - this is something like a guarantee of the strength of family ties for life. If something happens, the rings can be removed, and the tattoo, perhaps, will stop you from impulsive actions.
- When a couple has a baby, a tattoo with the date of birth on the parents’ wrists will look interesting.
- Sometimes clients order a tattoo with some secret date on their foot. A rare lucky person will have the opportunity to see a series of numbers located from the heel to the toes. When the owner of such a tattoo walks, it is as if he is leaning on an important moment in his life, which gives him strength to overcome difficulties.
