His and hers tattoos: The permanent way people are showing their love for their partner

From 'King and Queen’ tattoos to matching shapes and Disney characters, people are sharing their love in a very permanent kind of way

We share a lot with our other halves - childcare, the sofa, washing-up duties, the TV remote (sometimes!) - but would you go as far as to share his and hers tattoos?

For some it's their first, for others they're adding to a body full of tattoos, but either way it's adorable body art with a meaning which proves love is literally forever... well, we hope!

If you do decide to take the inky plunge, the possibilities are endless - you can choose to go small and understated or big and bold, full colour or soft black and grey, heartfelt text or fun designs.

According to some tattoo artists, his and hers tattoos can be a risky choice, especially when you take into consideration the potential breakup, but don't let that put you off. It certainly didn't change the minds of these loved-up duos when they went under the needle for for their very own couples tattoos!

So, if you're thinking of getting your own done with your other half, why not use their stunning, clever and downright creative his and hers tattoos as inspiration for your own designs... ?
