Inked At First Sight: A First Date For A Couple Includes Them Getting Matching Tattoos

By Sidra Lackey

Most first dates are basic, consisting of dinner and a movie usually. One couple from Australia however, had a first date that was anything but conventional. The two decided to get tattoos on their very first date!

@lil.allyway this is ur sign to do this coz it’s good for the plot 😮‍💨 #greenscreenvideo #fyp #tattoo #viral #trending #sydney #bondi #tinder ♬ BEE GEES VS 50 cent - EZ

The woman (@lil.allyway on TikTok), made a video (https://www.tiktok.com/@lil.allyway/video/7140938537679064322?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7140938537679064322) of herself getting a matching tattoo on a first date with a man she matched with on Tinder. “Me and my Tinder match decided to get tattoos for our first date,” her video is captioned at the beginning. The Daily Mail shows her documenting the date through video. In it, she admitted she didn’t know initially what design she was going to get for the tattoo, until she was at the tattoo studio. 

What did she and her date get tattooed together? Not something romantic like one would expect. They got a concentric triangle design. The woman got her tattoo on the back of her neck and her date got his tattoo on his forearm.

The video has been viewed on TikTok over 550,000 times and has over 65k likes. Many of the viewers of it left gushing, envious comments saying how they wanted to get tattooed to commemorate a first date also. 

Some of the positive comments: 

“I want to do this on a first date.”

“Every love story either ends in forever or heartbreak, worth the gamble.”

Perhaps the woman hoped to inspire others to think outside the box on a first date because she also captioned her tattoo date video: “this is ur sign to do this coz it’s good for the plot.”

But apparently the Australian couple aren’t the first couple to get matching tattoos on a first date. Two TikTok commenters claim they did the same thing with their dates:

“I did this for a first date, no regrets it's an EXCELLENT STORY.”

“Did this with my bf. We’ve been together 4 years now and are expecting our first child.”

A tattoo date is definitely a different type of date, cute even. But the reality however of getting a matching tattoo with a stranger is too daunting. Now, individual tattoos? See, that date would be very cool. Tattoo collectors, would you ever consider getting a matching tattoo with someone on a first date?
