A true friend is hard to find. As you get older you will realize that one or two people that you have known in your life are true friends. The kind of friend that will never leave your side no matter how hard it gets. A friendship tattoo is great way to commemorate your friendship.  Here are a few friendship tattoo ideas that might inspire or aid in creating new ideas.

Friendship Tattoo Ideas; Matching Tattoos

Matching tattoos are when you get the same tattoo in the same part of the body as your friend. This could be something as simple as a name or something complex that both of you decide on. The tattoos should be identical and be inked by the same artist. Each artist has their own style and if inked by another artist, it might not be identical.

Themed Friendship Tattoos

Themed tattoos are another friendship tattoo idea. What do you both get into? Video games? Sports? Decide what theme you want and go for it. For example, if you and your friend are into sports and love the Denver Broncos, then get Bronco themed tattoos together. Even when separated the Bronco tattoo will remind you of good times with your friend watching the game.

Ring Tattoos

Ring tattoos are tattoos that are placed on the fingers where traditional metal rings go. These can be of any design and can even have quotes or names inscribed within them. This type of tattoo is usually for couples, but if that friend means that much to you, get a couple of ring tattoos together. They can mean whatever you want them to mean.

Opposite Tattoos

Opposite Tattoos can be kind of fun when you are looking for friendship tattoo ideas. The most common opposite tattoo is the Ying and Yang tattoo. You could get a Ying tattoo and your friend can get a Yang tattoo. Not only will it be a conversation starter, but it could mean that opposites attract. Just like good and evil, the tattoo can give a shining of your personality as well as signifying your friendship.

Name Tattoos

Name tattoos is where you get your friends name tattooed on your body. This could be dicey in the future because you would have to explain to that future significant other who that friend is. If this is a female friend, you would really have to do some explaining. It takes a special person to have their name tattooed on you, so make your choice wisely.

As with all relationships, friendships can come to an end. With that in mind, make sure that you have a backup plan that can take that friendship tattoo and expand on it. You can take the friendship tattoo and remove it, cover it up, or embellish on it so that it blends into another tattoo. This should also be thought about and talked about with you friend. It may seem like the bond will last forever, but time takes its toll on all relationships.
