Gary and I have talked for a long time about getting a "couples" tattoo. We've tossed around all kinds of ideas... the "chain" around his arm and mine with the half a heart on each of us. A picture of one of our cats half on his arm, half on mine... one of our wedding pictures, where he's holding me - him on my arm, me on his, next to each other a complete picture... a "sun and moon" scene that creates a whole picture between the two of us...
Things have been SO TIGHT recently, that we're having a "Charlie Brown" kind of Christmas this year, and our 17th wedding anniversary is on Dec 26. But we've got a contract coming due at some point in the not too far distant future, and we want to spend some of the money on us. It's been a long time. (Well, after we pay rebuild the credits at the vets LOL).
One thing I DEFINITELY decided I want is a "bracelet" made of paw prints, with the faces of each of our kitties as charms. My wrists are so small, it'll probably have to be on my biceps, but I'm OK with that. But that's not THIS.
Anyway, Gary's latest idea is a love poem - half on him, half on me. I've been looking up Tennyson and Cummings and Shelley, and not finding anything short enough that really hits home.
Anyone have any thoughts or links? Even if not a poem, ideas of any kind for a "shared" tattoo?
(We already have each others' names tattooed on our ring fingers).
