A couple tattoo is one of the most beautiful (and brave) statements out there. But to avoid regret, it is worth thinking it through. At Púrpura Tatuajes we have tattooed countless couples —locals and visitors in Puerto Vallarta— and these are our best ideas and tips.
"Complementary" beats identical
Tattoos that complement each other tend to age better than 100% matching ones. Two pieces that together tell a story, but also work on their own, feel more personal and less risky.
Stylish ideas
- Elements that come together: sun and moon, wave and mountain, key and lock in fine line.
- A date or coordinates meaningful to both of you.
- Split phrases: one half on each person.
- The same motif in a different style or size.
- Minimalist single-line designs that pair perfectly.
Think long term
Love is for today and the tattoo is forever, so choose a design you love on its own, beyond the relationship. Abstract symbols, nature or dates usually hold up better over time than a name.
Not just for romantic couples
This same idea works great between friends, siblings, mothers and daughters or groups. A trip to Vallarta is the perfect excuse to seal a bond with ink.
Do it together, in good hands
You can get tattooed the same day, even at the same time with two of our artists. Tell us your idea on WhatsApp, get inspired in our gallery and book from our contact page. We are in Downtown Puerto Vallarta, open all week.
