About This Quiz

The weird thing about relationships is how different they can all be and yet still somehow function and even thrive. One couple will just love going antiquing and raising prize-winning roses while another will be obsessed with death metal and making furniture out of animal skulls. There's a wide variety of ways people can love each other and a wide range of ways people can express that love. Maybe it's with words, with music, with simple glances and understanding. And perhaps it's with tattoos.

If you're pretty sure your love is the kind that lasts forever, or at least long enough to merit ink that lasts forever, then you may as well commemorate that love with a matching tattoo. It elevates the traditional idea of getting your special someone's name or picture tattooed on you to a whole new level of symbolism and meaning. But what's the best one for you? There are literally hundreds of choices so to help narrow the field, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and your relationship? We'll sort through your answers and then determine with a scary degree of accuracy the perfect matching tattoo to symbolize your relationship. What are you waiting for? Take the quiz!
