Although they’re not the traditional route, ring tattoos are becoming more and more popular among people who want to celebrate their love, mark their anniversaries, or even show some love for themselves. Rather than commemorating the occasion with a ring, both couples and single people are opting for the more permanent route.
Ring tattoos can range anywhere from simple and subtle wedding bands to delicate works of art depicting the things that represent the couples’ love for one another. Whether you don’t want to wear a ring every single day or want something that signifies your love for your partner, your BFF, or yourself, you can certainly opt for a ring tattoo. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorites guaranteed to make you say “I do.”
1. Simple ring tattoos
A single line on your ring finger might not sound like much but rest assured that it’ll make you feel like you’re saying “I do” to your partner all over again. It’s sweet and simple, and your tattoo artist will be done in a couple of minutes. It’s a win-win!
