Why spend a fortune on a diamond ring, when you can have a diamond tattoo? Diamond tattoos also symbolize eternity, as they are known to last forever. Many couples like this meaning as they feel an everlasting and unconditional love for their partner.
Meaningful Reminder

If the couple is more into books then small meaningful quotes would be a wonderful idea. Couples can choose 2 words, 3 words or even 4-word quotes to get inked on either hand or wrist. If the quote is four words then each partner gets 2 words each as a tattoo on their hands. While joining both tattoo designs the complete quote will be visible.
Simple Wedding Bands

A simple, yet the most astounding one! A heart which is the universal symbol of love will portray your personality as a couple that nothing else matters except your love for each other!

Anchor
