I think something symbolic could be very cool (not in a relationship right now, and new to all this, so it's just theoretical for me) but I have heard that some tattoo artists won't put couple's names on each other because it's bad luck for the relationship. I know one artist who broke her own rule against doing it, and the the couple, good friends of hers, were split city a couple of months later (I mean, just think about Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold - they were OK until the tats! : ) I'm not really superstitious, but I'm not tempting fate!
