matching tattoos

Identical couples' body-art

Matching tattoos are identical or complementary tattoos shared by two or more people to symbolize their bond—couples, best friends, siblings, or members of a group.

The designs might be exact duplicates or halves of a whole that complete each other when placed together: They got matching tattoos on their anniversary.

The phrase often carries connotations of commitment that may later be regretted.
