If you have been following the trend for a while now, then you might know I have a deep-rooted love for a good, meaningful tattoo.
Tattoos happen to be one of the most personal ways to tell a story, especially if you plan to share that story with a partner.
I have a full post dedicated to tattoo ideas, but for a couples look, I would keep things simple with a matching design and some personal meaning.
1. Cute Matching Penguins

Next up, we have another animal inspired idea that is just so good. This couple has adorable matching penguin tattoos. A tattoo like this one is totally perfect for the couple who loves penguins.
Not only are they super cute, but penguins also stay together for life. This makes them a symbol for a relationship that lasts. You could recreate this design or go for your favorite animal instead.
2. Anniversary Date Tattoos

Do you want to remember a super special date? It could be the day you met, the day you got engaged, or your wedding day. If so, this is the tattoo for you.
Here we have a couple who got the same date tattooed on their finger. Since it’s on the ring finger, it was probably the day they got married.
I think a tattoo like this is a beautiful way to remember an important time you shared together.
3. Globetrotting Tattoos

Do you and your partner absolutely love to travel? Then you should consider a tattoo like this one. This design features matching planet Earth tattoos with little planes traveling around them.
It is such a cool idea that will look great on everyone. You can recreate this tattoo exactly or you could add a fun splash of color too.
4. Simple and Trendy Love Tattoos

Nothing will show the world you are in love more than a love tattoo. These two have the word ‘love’ tattooed on their fingers. It is such a simple tattoo but it really makes a statement.
If this feels a little too bold for you, you can have the word tattooed anywhere. I think the wrist would be another cool place for a tattoo like this.
5. Sun, Moon and Star Constellations

Next up, I have an amazing tattoo to show you. These matching tattoos feature a star constellation, the moon, and the sun.
It is a totally stunning design that could represent your love of space and the night sky. Or maybe it can symbolize the good and bad or feminine and masculine energies.
It’s an awesome tattoo that can mean whatever you want it to. There are also endless ways to recreate a tattoo like this one.
6. Matching Anchor Tattoos

Anchor tattoos are a classic symbol of strength and stability. So it’s really no surprise that anchors are often used to represent meaningful relationships.
This couple chose a seriously stylish matching anchor design. It is a beautiful idea that will show everyone you are a strong couple. What’s more, they also look great as individual tattoos.
7. Matching Compass Tattoos
Compass designs are also really popular for travelers, but they can have other meanings too. I’ve found that compasses can be a guide to finding your way and can be a symbol of adventure.
So, these tattoos are perfect for couples. A couple with a compass tattoo will show that they will always find their way back to each other or that they are on an adventure together. We just love this idea!
8. Matching Fingerprint Tattoos

The first tattoo I have to show you is this fingerprint design. For this idea, fingerprints have been tattooed into a love heart shape.
This is such a cool idea because all fingerprints are different, so your tattoo will be completely unique. You can use just your and your partner’s prints or you could include other members of your family too.
9. Matching Infinity Tattoos

The last matching couple tattoo I have to share with you is an infinity design. An infinity symbol is perfect for couples as it can represent endless love.
You can choose a stylish tattoo like this one or have a simpler infinity symbol. Recreate this or have the symbol tattooed somewhere else, the wrist or the ankle would be really cool choices.
10. Holding Hands

If you are looking for something truly romantic, then this is for you. These two tattoos feature a diamond outline with a delicate floral pattern inside.
There is also a hand holding design in there too. This is a stylish and beautiful tattoo idea that shows the bond between the two of you. You can recreate this tattoo or pick your own background.
11. Matching Tattoos for Married Couples

If you’re on the hunt for a subtle and stylish tattoo, then this is definitely for you. Here we have a couple with a simple line tattooed on their ring finger.
Tattoos like these are great for married couples that want something a little different than traditional rings. They are also great for those who want to make a commitment without the wedding.
You can try a similar tattoo to this or choose a matching design of your choice.
12. Cute Paw Print Tattoos

Do you both just love animals? Then consider a tattoo like this. Here we have paw prints that are tattooed on the ring finger. This is such a quirky idea that is perfect for the couple who have pets.

14. Geometric Matching Tattoos

If you do not want something super obvious like hearts, then this tattoo is perfect. This couple have chosen a matching geometric design.
Both tattoos feature a trendy triangular pattern. A tattoo like this is so cool because it matches and shows your bond, but it does so in a stylish way. This design is also great as an individual tattoo.
15. Watercolor Forest Design

This couple has chosen matching tattoos with a forest design. This is a gorgeous tattoo and can make you remember all the happy memories created in your favorite place.
You can have any scene tattooed, even city skylines would be cool. You could pick the place where you met, had a first date, or another event like that.
16. Cute Cartoon Couples Tattoo

Next, we have a super cute tattoo idea. Here we have a cartoon couple. Both tattoos match, and you can recreate something similar but with a design that looks just like the two of you.
You can have a tattoo where the cartoons have the same outfits and hair as you both. It is just a quirky and awesome idea.
17. King and Queen Idea
The next tattoo idea is not matching with an identical design, but it matches with the theme. This couple has a king and queen tattoo. One has a K with a crown and the other has a Q with a crown.
This is the perfect tattoo for the glam couple. You can try a similar tattoo to this or create your own regal crowns.
18. Heart and Plane Tattoo Design

Earlier in the post, we featured a travel inspired tattoo, and here is another one for all the globetrotting couples out there.
This one features a black heart outline with a small plane. It is a really pretty tattoo that shows you both love traveling. You can try the heart tattoo or you can choose a different shape, like a circle with a plane.
19. Heartbeat Tattoos for Couples in Love

Are you looking for a unique tattoo? Then this one is for you. Here we have heartbeat tattoos. These designs feature EKG lines which show your heart activity.
These have become a romantic tattoo for couples because it can represent how your heart belongs to the other, or that your heart beats faster with love when the other person is around.
It is a quirky design that will suit everyone.
20. Tiny Matching Hearts

Our next idea is so cute! Here we have two small hearts that have been tattooed on the wrist. A design like this is subtle and would be great as a first tattoo.
It would also be perfect for the couple that wants a subtle matching tattoo. You can try black hearts or you can choose any color you like.
21. Matching Hearts

Next, we have a beautiful heart idea. This tattoo was not originally created for a couple, but when we saw it, we thought it would be perfect.
It is a stylish design with the two heart outlines, and it will show everyone that you are in love. You can have a tattoo like this placed anywhere and choose any size.
Go with a small heart for a subtle tattoo or a larger heart for a bolder piece of body art.
22. Matching Dot Tattoos

Next up, we have a cute and unique idea. This couple has chosen matching dot tattoos. You could maybe have two dots to represent you and your other half, and add more dots for your family.
It is just a simple and stylish design that has a lot of meaning. This would be a great choice for someone who wants a subtle tattoo.
23. Quirky Heart Tattoos
Source: @zayahastra
We have featured love hearts before, but next we have a quirky heart tattoo idea. Here we have a couple who have chosen a more realistic heart design.
This is a cool tattoo and is perfect for the unique couple that wants something a little different. You can recreate this or add a little red color. Either way, it will look awesome.
