There is no denying that celebrities have a penchant for inking their love for their significant others on their bodies. While some couples do so in the early stages of their relationship, like Ashley Benson and Cara Delevingne, others get tattoos to celebrate anniversaries and various love-related milestones, like David and Victoria Beckham. 

It’s important to note that it isn’t always a wise idea to make such a permanent declaration, as not all love lasts the test of time. In their whirlwind six-month relationship, Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande amassed around 13 couple tattoos between them, many of which they have had covered up following their split.

However, it’s fair to say that when love does prevail, these markings make a heartfelt statement of an individual’s feelings towards their partner, and we are all for the celebration of love. To find out which celebrities have gotten tattoos for love, scroll on.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner 

One year after they announced their engagement, and just months before their Las Vegas chapel wedding, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner made a trip to Bang Bang Tattoo in New York City, to permanently ink their love for each other on their bodies by way of a Toy Story quote. Jonas had the words “To infinity” tattooed on his wrist, and Turner had “& beyond” etched onto hers (above). The pair also have matching portraits of their late dog Waldo tattooed on their forearms.

Ashley Benson and Cara Delevingne

Although it has only been just over one year since Ashley Benson and Cara Delevingne were first romantically linked, the pair already have a number of tattoos dedicated to one another on their bodies. Delevingne has a red “A” inked on her ribcage, and Benson has a “CD” on hers. The font of Delevingne’s tattoo has fans of the pair convinced that it also serves as a reference to Pretty Little Liars, the cult TV show that catapulted Benson into the spotlight. The villain of the show is referred to as “A” throughout the course of the series. Most recently, celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy debuted Benson’s latest edition, a tattoo that references the pet name she gave her model girlfriend. Located on her hip, the ink reads “squish” (above).

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

One of Hollywood’s favourite couples, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, went the extra mile and each got inked with a cursive script that is dedicated to both each other, and their two children, Luna Simone Stephens, three, and Miles Theodore Stephens, one. Tattoo artist Daniel Winter tattooed the words “johnlunamiles” onto Teigen’s forearm, and “chrissylunamiles” onto Legend’s (above).

Beyoncé and Jay-Z 

Beyoncé and Jay-Z both have the Roman numeral for “4” tattooed on their ring fingers. The number reportedly references their birthdays, as Beyoncé was born on September 4, and Jay-Z was born on December 4. Following the Jay-Z cheating scandal, and the release of Lemonade in 2017, fans noticed Beyoncé had a line added to her ink, which looks to be connecting the “I” and “V”. While the reason behind this edit is still unknown, some people have speculated that it may serve to represent the strengthening of their bond as husband and wife.

Justin and Hailey Bieber

In November 2018, Page Six reported that both Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber had gotten tattoos dedicated to each other. “They each got a tattoo,” celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang told the publication. “Justin’s tattoo is on his face, and I haven’t seen any photos of it — so he’s doing a good job of laying low. It’s really thin and delicate. And [it’s] also not a traditional couples’ tattoo,” he added. Tattoo artist JonBoy later revealed Justin’s ink on Instagram, which reads “grace” above his right eyebrow (above). As for what Hailey got inked? We are yet to find out.

David and Victoria Beckham

David and Victoria Beckham, who recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, have a number of tattoos dedicated to each on their bodies. The soccer player has his wife’s name tattooed across his right hand, as well as the number “99” on his right pinky finger (above), in reference to the year they were married. The tattoo-clad athlete also had 10 roses inked on this arm in celebration of the couple’s 10-year wedding anniversary in 2009. In celebration of their sixth wedding anniversary, the Beckhams both had “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine” tattooed on themselves in Hebrew, and to mark the renewal of their vows on May 8, 2006, they added the numerals “VIII-V-MMVI” to their bodies. The fashion designer also has her husband’s initials tattooed on the inside of her left wrist.

Just nine months after Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin were first romantically linked, the pair were spotted with matching tattoos.
