Sometimes less is truly more. This simple heart design is unobtrusive and minimal, yet endearingly sweet when put together. It evokes the nostalgia of childhood where you would scrawl hearts all over your notebook.

Diamonds might be a girl’s best friends, but wedding band tattoos are forever and they’re literally a part of you.

No need to hunt for one in jewelry stores!

If you want something that doesn’t scream love or couple, try a more artistic design like these colored origami cranes. They’re beautiful and eye-catching by themselves, and the different colors provide a nice contrast.

We love this playful interpretation of the age-old adage, “opposites attract”. Are you and your significant other so different yet perfect for each other in the best ways? Celebrate your differences with a symbolic plus and minus sign.

Birds are a lovely symbol of freedom. With these two trails of flying birds, you can show off your individuality by making the birds slightly different. Bonus – this tattoo unlocks its full potential when you are holding hands… perfection!

If you liked our tattoo wedding rings idea, this one is also a cute tattoo idea for couples!

Turn your body into an atlas for the people and places you love with this geography-centred tattoo. If you and your significant other met in a specific place, get a tattoo of the country’s shape. Perfect for fellow travelers!

Part of what makes couple tattoos special is that they are unique to you. To make them extra special, find one that symbolizes your common interests. For instance, these matching Legend of Zelda tattoos are quirky and super personalized!

Quotes are a lovely way to convey a sentiment, especially for bookworms! This one is from a poem by Anne Bradstreet and says “if ever two were one, then surely we”.

Celebrate your favorite fandoms together! This tattoo plays on the theme of night and day, yin and yang, opposites attracting, with a clever reference to the Harry Potter series.

If you share a passion or hobby, celebrate your love for it and each other with matching tattoos! Maybe you are professional musicians or just avid music fans. Whatever the connection, pick something that uniquely captures something that you two share.

These matching avocado halves are a familiar sight for any guacamole lover, but more importantly, they’re a stylized and unique take to the puzzle piece theme. You guys are the perfect fit, just like…two halves of an avocado.

Your love is eternal, so what better way to symbolize it than with diamonds? After all, diamonds are forever! This is a pretty standalone piece that will also play nice with other tattoos, perfect for those who are looking to get an entire sleeve.

Calling all foodies! If you’re looking for something a bit on the goofy side, try a food tattoo like this adorable sushi one. So if you’re looking for really cute cute couple tattoos, it’s cute, funny and not easily forgotten.

For the ultimate personalized tattoo, get your significant other’s heartbeat sketched on your body. You’ll literally be able to carry a part of the other person with you at all times.
