40 Of The Best Wedding Ring Tattoo Designs

Forever linked or inked?

Sure, getting married is a huge step emotionally, but it isnt going to place much of a dent in your finances, right?

Think again. The average man spends about $5300 on an engagement ring alone, and thats not even the tip of the iceberg. In the United States, most couples spend about $30,000 on their big day.

Whether its the exorbitant cost or the blatant consumerism that bugs you when it comes to traditional wedding rings, a trend thats becoming more popular as time passes is the wedding ring tattoo. Instead of shelling over tons of cash for a rock and a wedding band, a surprisingly large number of couples are bucking tradition and inking their ring fingers instead, leaving plenty of funds for other aspects of their big day.

Here are some of our favorite designs that you can use as inspiration for your own wedding ring tattoo(s):

Another fun design that allows you to also wear a tangible wedding ring is this adorable side-finger tattoo that celebrates a newly shared last name. While a Mr. tattoo on the husbands finger would be the perfect match, this idea is also a nice one for those who may have a partner who is uncomfortable with getting inked, as it also stands well on its own.

This design takes the minimalists approach a step further by also including an initial within the body of the tattooed wedding band. You could use the first initial of your beloveds first name, or you could use the first initial of the last name you intend on sharing from this point forward.

Maybe you love the concept of tattooing your spouses name on your ring finger, but what are you to do when his or her name is a mile long? Swapping out an R for your significant others first initial is a unique way to pay homage to your spouse without inking the entire alphabet onto your finger!

For many couples, a shared faith or religion is the tie that truly binds them together for life. Obviously your ring finger is too tiny to hold the text of a well-loved verse from a book of faith, but inking the location of a scripture that is important to your relationship is just as special as having the whole thing spelled out.

If you prefer a more intimate approach to a wedding ring tattoo, this heart design, which is only complete when the two partners fingers are intersected, may be the right choice for you. While the general public may not even realize you have a ring on your finger, you and your partner will always be aware of the discrete design.

Featured in The Chicago Tribune, this couple was looking for a unique way to break apart from the over-hashed wedding traditions everyone they knew was integrating into their nuptials. Instead of purchasing traditional wedding bands, they decided to tattoo the atomic symbol, an element of a piece of art they saw together on one of their first dates, onto their fingers. While atoms may mean little to you and your significant other, any symbol that has a special meaning to the two of you can act as an excellent ring replacement.

One of the biggest trends in the world of tattoo art is the tribal tattoo. If you and your partner are fans of tribal elements, you may want to go for a design featuring two slithering snakes like these little guys.

Just because you were made for each other doesnt mean that everything you do has to be identical. For couples that dont like anything to be too matchy-matchy, complementary designs that are also distinctively different may be the best route to take.

Whether you choose to recite traditional vows at your ceremony or pick up a pen and write your own, you are both committing to each other until the very end as you recite your vows on your big day. This tattoo design not only looks great; it works as a constant reminder to both you and the entire world that youre in it for the long haul.
