When a celebrity gets a new tattoo, Pinterest boards are flooded with the inspiration pictures, and many swarm to the tattoo shop to get their take on it. And we get it. They’re undeniably cool. Celebrities somehow think of the coolest tattoo ideas like Jennifer Aniston’s simple “11:11” tattoo and Jessica Alba’s constellation tattoo, to name a few. But the only thing we love more than celebrity tattoos is celebrity couple tattoos.
Couples getting matching tattoos has grown wildly popular in the past decade, and celebrity couples love partaking in the trend as well. And for those that don’t exactly want to go into a fully matching tattoo, they typically opt for getting their partner’s name tattooed on them. Heather Rae Young got a name tattoo for her new husband Tarek El Moussa, Matt Damon got one for his daughters, and the list goes on. But what about the couples that decide to go down the matching tattoo avenue?
Some do humongous forearm tattoos to show their love, while some choose to go more on the dainty side. But either way, we’re obsessed and want to know every detail. From sentimental tattoos to silly tattoos of Vegemite, check out some of our favorite celebrity couples’ matching tattoos below.

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s relationship was one of the rockiest, having a decade-long on-and-off relationship. But we still loved them, and we loved the matching tattoos they got. In 2016, they got matching Vegemite tattoos in honor of Hemsworth’s home country, Australia. Along with that, they have a matching Theodore Roosevelt quote tattooed, as Hemsworth showed on in a now-deleted Instagram post. But don’t worry, E! Online still has some pictures. The couple ended up divorcing in 2020, but neither has gotten their ink removed.
