wedding ring??

so, im in a serous relationship now and also LOVE working in the shop on anything that needs working. Ive heard so many horror stories about rings and wearing them in the shop. So, thinking about the two ( a dangerous combo) ive come up with a comprimise, i think.
A tatto wedding ring.
Different, unique, can never take it off ( i believe in getting married and staying married) and would be a good conversation starter.
Any thoughts? comments?

I happen to really like the idea....

It's a rather difficult spot. While it can be done a good piece is rare. The underside skin is tough and where under joins top the design easily distorts. Not to discourage you but make it simple would be my advice.

while YOU believe in getting and staying married ya never know whats going to happen dont get a tattooed one. she may die she may leave you may get divorced and then youre stuck with a tattooed ring that will present a problem when you want to move on.. and youre right a regular wedding ring is dangerous in a shop so do like i did wear it when you aint working. if shes wnderful enough to marry shes wonderful enough to understand the safety aspect of it

she has no problem with the saftey aspect of the shop. Im teaching her my philosophy, saftey first, esp in the shop. If i do do it, i will be taking the risk of being stuck with it if the manure hits the spreader. I guess ive got to weigh the pros and cons.
I dont have to make a decision this month or anything, but within the next 2 years more then likely.

The ring is just a symbol.

Real love lives in the Heart & Mind.

It doesn't bother me that Michelle doesn't wear her ring that much.
After the strokes her left hand is numb most of the time,
& likewise she certainly understands why I am not wearing my ring due to many reasons ,most being getting it Greased up .

I don't wear a ring and I am very much married. I have several tatoos but I don't agree with a ring tatoo. I don't see how it would show your love but then you got to do what ya got to do. I was married to a woman back in the eighties, had her name tatooed on my arm. Got off the ship and 24 hours later she was telling me she wanted a divorce(boy friend on the side). Had her name covered a couple of weeks later and she got upset. Why did ya do that (give me a break) I still talk to her once a year or two but I learned my leason.

Wear your wedding band on a short chain around your neck when you are in the shop. That's what I do. Otherwise, my ring doesn't leave my hand. Ever.

I have seen first hand the damage done when a ring finger is caught in machinery. I dont wear mine for that reason, so I put it on only when we go out. I know I am married, the ring wont make or break the marriage, becoming loveless will do that. Heck, from what Ive seen, the ring makes the single/divorced people go after you more, because they know a married person is usually a safe one to go after, and a challenge to them to see if they can get the "prize".

I agree completely. My husband doesn't wear his ring when he's working. It doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather he kept all his fingers. But if you're looking for ideas, a guy I work with wears his wedding band when he's at home, and he has his wife's name tattooed where he usually wears his ring. He doesn't wear his ring at work, but still has that symbol. It's all up to you.

What's with all these wedding/ engagement ring questions on a Ford Truck website? Seems like several in the past couple of weeks. Maybe it's time for an Etiquette Forum....(hehe)
