Inside: 63 Holding Hands Tattoo Ideas That You Won’t Regret.
We’ve all seen cheesy lovey-dovey tattoos before. We know them, we love them.
But there are times when a tattoo dedicated to love turns into… well, a mistake.
We all know at least someone who’s had to go above and beyond to cover up the name of an ex. Many tattoo artists will tell you that getting the name of a girlfriend or boyfriend is the kiss of death to any relationship.
Yes, tattooing your partner’s name on your body is risky business, but not all ink that celebrates romance has to be that way! Choosing a tattoo that reminds you of being loved, loving, or even the promise of love can keep you from having major tattoo regrets, even if it was for a specific person at the time.
These holding hands tattoo ideas are the perfect combination of cheesy, meaningful, and not-so-regrettable. Check out our favorite designs and find inspiration for your next session.
