11 actually cool matching tattoos that you can get with your boo

If you just realized that Valentine’s Day is upon us and every romantic date spot in town is booked solid, don’t fret — why not try something a little different this year? If you and your partner are both cool with getting inked, there’s no time like the present to get matching tattoos with your significant other on Valentine’s Day.

Don’t worry, we’re not suggesting anything cheesy (and potentially super awkward in the unfortunate event of a breakup) like getting each other’s names tattooed on yourselves for all eternity.

But there are plenty of options that are both meaningful as a couple’s tattoos and beautiful as a solo tattoo.

Need some ideas? We’ve got you covered.

The planet and rocket tattoo is perfect for couples who share a love of all things celestial.

10Mountains

If you and your significant are outdoorsy (or you just love a good view), these mountain tattoos are seriously stunning. Plus, as The Proclaimers once sang, love can move mountains.

11Gazelle couple

There’s nothing cuter than an animal couple, am I right? If these adorable gazelles don’t strike your fancy, there are plenty of other animal duos that make great couple tattoos.

So, if you’re bored with dinner, a movie, and a box of chocolates, head to a tattoo parlor and express your love and devotion by getting inked.
