Marriage is a big step, especially emotionally, but of course also financially. People are said to spend an average of around 4,000 euros just on an engagement ring, but that's not even the tip of the iceberg. Be it for the sake of exorbitant costs and consumerism, the increasingly popular trend is a thimble instead of the traditional wedding ring. Nothing confirms that "forever" like a permanent tattoo.
The trend, which has also been adopted by celebrities, requires a capable artist to make the tattoo clean, fresh and beautiful and more importantly, the same. It's a lot symbols that symbolize love, but it is an individual's choice what exactly will adorn his finger. Some choose a symbol of eternity, others the initials of names, some choose a thief of common interests, religious symbols, simple outlines of the ring, or they are even more innovative and move the "ring" from the ring finger to another place on the hand.
We have selected some of the most beautiful and interesting forms of tattoos that have replaced wedding rings.
