In my mind, sharing a matching tattoo with the love of my life is more than just inking ourselves. It’s telling a story that is unique to us only. It’s sharing a joke that has turned into a meaningful lifetime lesson or a reminder that regardless of where we are and what we do, we are connected more by heart than anything else.
These are the reasons most people have when deciding they want a matching couple tattoo.
And while these reasons are truly valid and romantic, the real problem often isn’t if they want to have a matching tattoo but what that tattoo would look like.
Because you only get one chance at having a unique first tattoo with someone you plan to engrave into your heart. And the designs you choose are the designs you would have to look at for the rest of your lives (most likely).
I’ve spent a shameful amount of time scrolling the web in search of the best couples’ tattoo designs, and I’m ready to share the best of what I found. Let’s get into it!
King and Queen Matching Couple Tattoos
The concept of him and her as King and Queen is so cute and evergreen that there is no chance to skip it as a possible topic when searching for a couple’s tattoo design ideas. Here are my picks based on what people love the most.
A simple and minimalistic way to go big (if I can put it that way). The tattoos are on their fingers and almost look like a promise they’ve made to each other. Can you guess what the promise was?
Another minimalistic design that reflects the idea of a King and Queen, but this time adds the concept of play cards’ symbols too. I love that one.
These ones are a little bigger and more flashy, but if that’s your thing, it’s a gorgeous design, and we can feel the majestic vibe pouring through that matching tattoo.
I included this design because of its originality. If they were slightly smaller, these matching tattoos would be on my list of top 5.
Ok, if you are familiar with dark romance books (like me), you would immediately get the idea behind this tattoo. It’s powerful, daring, and promises so many things. I love it!
Another gorgeous matching tattoo idea with a gothic King and Queen vibe gives me the thrill of dangerous love. If you had to go through mountains to stay together, this might be the tattoo for you.
Stylish, airy, and unique, this design of a matching tattoo reflects the idea that “life is a game, and we rule in it”.
Taking the whole thing a step further, adding quotes from favorite songs is such a classic in tattoo designs. And if you need more inspiration on love song lyrics, I have 77 of them right here.
Minimalistic Couple Tattoo Ideas
Big and flashy might not be your thing. You might want something more delicate that shows the same power of love. I’ve got you covered!
You know that feeling when you match each other so well that it feels like everything you went through had the purpose of turning you into these small pieces of puzzle that fit together perfectly? Well, that’s the tattoo for you then!
Minimalistic, simple, and classy, these roses are like a fairy tale promise of better times together. Oh, I wish my husband would agree on having something like that tattooed on his hand, but I need to keep digging for something else.
The phrase “always & forever” always reminds me of the One Tree Hill series. I used to love binge-watching them on weekends. Yes, having the phrase as a tattoo is truly a promise of eternal love.
Delicate, minimalistic, and absolutely matching, the moon and the sun are forever reaching for each other as lovers, destined to love one another endlessly. He is the sun, and she is the moon. I adore the concept of this tattoo.
One step further into minimalism when it comes to matching couple’s tattoo: simple hearts on the inside of the fingers.
Some couples’ tattoo designs blow my mind the moment I look at them, and this one is among them (there is one more just a little further). The simplicity and the power of the image are breathtaking.
This is a different concept of the sun-moon style-tattoo, but it is still powerful and symbolic.
Maybe you have favorite Disney characters, and you might even use their names to refer to each other. Are you his Minnie, and is he your Mickey?
Cute Couple Tattoo Designs
What if he is your peanut butter and you are his jelly? This is so adorable and cute I can’t get over it! It’s such a brilliant idea for a matching tattoo.
Who is chasing the other? What if you are always bickering but still madly in love and can’t live without each other? You are Tom and Jerry! Make it official!
She is his Beauty, and he is her Beast! Such a classic when it comes to matching couples’ tattoo designs, but a gorgeous variation of it.
Meaningful Couple Tattoos
I love meaningful and unique tattoo designs that give deep messages. This Guide Me/Hold Me tattoo design is the perfect representation of what “deep love” means. You will always hold and guide each other through life together.
I would like to imagine that the couple who got that tattoo based the words on a real event (like a wedding, but maybe even something more dramatic), and they would always keep that promise alive.
“To infinity… and beyond” is a beautiful promise when you are madly in love with someone. Why not choose to seal the deal through a tattoo?
Ok, this is my next favorite design because of its simplicity and symbolism. The tattoos are like wedding rings but simpler, and you can never take them off (hopefully, you won’t ever want to).
The last of my top 3 is this simple design. The string of love that would always hold you together, invisible, until you give it some ink.
The last suggested matching couples’ tattoo design idea is a variation of “To infinity and beyond”. It is apparently a popular tattoo phrase. Would you choose it?
