In a world where celebrity relationships often make headlines, many famous couples are opting to express their love in a permanent way—through matching tattoos. From the romantic tributes of Zendaya and Tom Holland to the coupled commitment of Jay-Z and Beyoncé, these stars are leaving indelible marks on their hearts and skin.

One notable couple is Zendaya and Tom Holland, who have kept their relationship fairly private since they began dating in 2017. In November 2024, the pair decided to commemorate their love with matching tattoos, just months before announcing their engagement. The couple chose simple designs: Zendaya opted for a discreet “t” near her underarm, while Holland etched a “z” onto his ribcage. According to Lily Jarnryd, an artist at Boston Tattoo Company, the pair was delightful to work with during their tattoo session.
Another athletic couple who marks their bond with ink is Ayesha and Stephen Curry. The two have two sets of matching tattoos that celebrate not only their relationship but their family. The first, completed in 2014, features arrows pointing toward each other, symbolising their commitment to staying present in their relationship. Their second set, inked in 2019, includes geometric designs representing their three children. Ayesha detailed the deep meaning behind their tattoos on social media, with individual symbols representing the personalities of their kids: “Canon will always be our young wolf,” she wrote, touching on the emotional connection connected to each piece.
Taylor Lautner and Taylor Dome, another celebrity couple, recently joined the matching tattoo trend as well. Lautner surprised his wife with an intimate at-home tattoo session on her birthday in 2023. They chose to ink their wedding date, “11.11.22,” as a reminder of their special day—a thoughtful gesture that resonates with fans of romance.
Icons of modern music, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, also celebrated their love through body art. Their tattoo journey began in 2019 when they both had each other’s names and their children’s names permanently inked on their inner arms. Tragically, the couple also created a memorial tattoo for their late son, Jack, with the help of their go-to tattoo artist, Winterstone. In 2024, Legend shared his latest addition on Instagram, documenting the growth of their family with new ink dedicated to their additional children. Teigen humorously revealed in an interview that she marked their children’s birthdays on her body to help her remember them.
David and Victoria Beckham remain one of the most iconic celebrity couples to initiate the matching tattoo trend. With their Hebrew tattoos stating “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,” the Beckhams have affirmed their love through ink for nearly two decades. Although Victoria has since removed the majority of her tattoos, David continues to expand his extensive collection, adding new tributes, including the word “Posh” to honour his wife’s fame.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé and Jay-Z decided to immortalise their bond in permanent ink by getting matching “IV” tattoos shortly after their wedding in 2008. Initially thought to signify their wedding date, Beyoncé revealed it holds deeper personal significance, marking important birthdates in her family. The tattoo has since evolved, featuring three dots to represent the couple’s children—a testament to the growth of their family.
After rekindling their romance, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck took their love a step further with matching tattoos in 2023, just in time for their first Valentine’s Day as newlyweds. Lopez shared her infinity symbol ink featuring their names, while Affleck’s design showcased arrows interlocked with the letters representing their initials. However, following a split two years later, it’s uncertain if they still wear these symbols of affection.
Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber chose a lighthearted approach with their matching tattoos for a cheeky nod to one of Bieber’s musical hits—peach emojis. Their playful ink reflects their fun-loving relationship, but they didn’t stop there; the couple previously had a more subtle tattoo session in 2018 that resulted in hidden ink bearing personal significance.
Not to be overlooked, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas also embraced matching tattoos, using them to stem from the special moments of their relationship. Chopra shared insights into their tattoos during an interview, revealing she has a check and box behind her ears corresponding to what Jonas suggested during his proposal, symbolising that she ticked all his boxes.
Celebrity couples choosing to commemorate their love with matching tattoos signify deeper connections as they navigate relationships in the public eye. Whether small and personal or bold and grand, these intertwined designs echo unique love stories that celebrate affection, commitment, and the journey they share together.
