Looking to get inked with your special someone? At Northern 92 Tattoo Studio in Burnley, we’ve helped countless couples create meaningful, lasting symbols of their connection. Here’s our guide to choosing the perfect couples tattoos that are as unique as your relationship.
Timeless Approaches
Complementary Designs
Rather than identical tattoos, consider pieces that work together:
- Sun and moon designs
- Lock and key imagery
- Two halves of a detailed scene
- Complementary animals or creatures
- Elements that mirror each other’s style
Shared Passions
Draw inspiration from what brings you together:
- Gaming characters or symbols
- Music notes or lyrics from “your song”
- Travel coordinates of significant places
- Symbols from shared hobbies
- References to films or books you both love
Abstract Connections
For a subtler approach that still carries meaning:
- Matching geometric patterns
- Corresponding constellations
- Complementary line work
- Abstract shapes that form a whole
- Similar styles in different designs
Modern Takes on Traditional Symbols
Updated Classics
Fresh spins on traditional couples’ imagery:
- Contemporary versions of heart designs
- Modernised infinity symbols
- Reimagined puzzle pieces
- Stylised matching arrows
- Creative takes on wedding dates
Nature-Inspired
Drawing from the natural world:
- Paired wildlife (wolves, birds, etc.)
- Complementary flowers or plants
- Mountain ranges or landscapes
- Ocean and wave motifs
- Forest or woodland scenes
Practical Considerations
Placement Ideas
Think about how the tattoos will look both together and separately:
- Inner wrists
- Forearms
- Ankles
- Ribcage
- Upper back
- Fingers (though consider longevity)

Making It Personal
Hidden Meanings
