Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are far from the first to do it.
Nothing says “I love you” quite like matching tattoos, which is exactly what Jennifer Lopez and husband Ben Affleck must have been thinking when they decided to get inked. Taking to Instagram on Valentine’s Day, Lopez revealed the intimate designs. For her: Cupid’s arrow piercing an infinity symbol on her rib cage, and for him, two crossed arrows beneath his armpit, flanked by the letters “J” and “B”. Cute!
Of course, this isn’t the first time celebrities have chosen to acquire a permanent reminder of their love. Far from it. From David and Victoria Beckham to Justin and Hailey Bieber, Vogue rounds up the best celebrity couple tattoos.
David and Victoria Beckham
To celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary, David and Victoria Beckham got matching tattoos of the phrase, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine”, in Hebrew. David’s is on his left arm and Victoria’s ran down the back of her neck. Victoria has since had hers removed, but presumably the sentiment remains.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott
In 2018, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott marked the impending birth of their daughter Stormi with a tattoo of a small butterfly on the backs of their ankles.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have not one, but two sets of matching tattoos. One to commemorate the death of their Alaskan Klee Kai dog, Waldo, and another to celebrate their love – they each have one half of the quote, “To infinity and beyond”, on their wrists.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
When Nick Jonas proposed to Priyanka Chopra, he told her she checked all his boxes, and asked whether she would be willing to check one more. As it turned out, she was. One set of matching checked box tattoos later (hers behind her ear and his on the back of his arm), they’re living happily ever after with daughter Malti Marie.
Beyoncé and Jay Z
Leave it to Jay Z and Beyoncé to get the chicest matching tattoos: the number four in Roman numerals on their wedding fingers as a symbol of their love.
Hailey and Justin Bieber
In 2021, tattoo artist Keith McCurdy (aka Bang Bang), revealed that Hailey and Justin Bieber had gotten matching tattoos. However, it would be a while until eagle-eyed fans were able to determine what they were. The answer? A naturalistic rendering of a peach. Justin’s is on his neck and Hailey’s is on her inner arm.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
After six years of marriage, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend got matching tattoos of their own and their children’s names etched in script along the inside of their arms.
