A wedding ring tattoo signifies the endless circle of love and commitment. In some occupations, such as surgeons, the military or factory work, a spouse may not be able to wear a wedding ring for safety reasons. Tattooing matching rings around the ring finger marks a permanent wedding band for the wearers.

The type of designs for ring tattoos can range from a word such as “Love” or “I Do,” their partner’s name or initials, the wedding date, Celtic patterns, or solid bands of color. Less detail in the design enhances the outcome of the tiny tattoo on the finger. Tattoo lines will blur and expand over time if the design is extremely detailed.

The size of every ring tattoo will differ depending on the size of the Bride and Groom’s fingers. The design wraps around the finger. On small fingers, the ring tattoo is as small as a half inch in width, while on a large or wide finger, the tattoo measures out to 2 ½inches. The ring tattoo usually does not pass the bottom knuckle of the finger.

A ring tattoo’s healing period is two weeks for a healthy client who correctly follows aftercare. Because the fingers are in constant motion and are constantly exposed to the sun, the ring tattoo may need a touch up immediately after the two-week healing period.
