19 Celebrities Who Got Tattoos in the Name of Love (PHOTOS)
When we love someone so much (and we also love tattoos), it makes perfect sense to get inked to show your devotion. Sure, it's risky, but so is just about everything in life. Why not just take that risk for the person you love?
Many celebrities have done just that. Some get names, while others opt for a symbol of their love. Some are still together, and many have broken up. Yet, the tattoo (or the scars left from it) remain.
Here, 19 celebs and the ink they have gotten in the name of love and devotion.
Which of these is your favorite? Least favorite?

Nick Cannon
When Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey were married in 2008, Nick showed his devotion for his wife by getting her name tattooed across his back. After the divorce, he had it covered up with a massive backpiece.
Justin Bieber
Many believed that the woman tattooed on Justin Bieber's arm was Selena Gomez. Sure does look like her. Even though they are no longer together (hopefully for good), the Biebs hasn't covered it up with anything.
Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling is truly a romantic. She has her husband Dean McDermott's wedding vows tattooed on her rib cage. It reads: "Journey with me my love and I promise you my heart and I promise you my soul for my bounty is as boundless as the sea and my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite."

Angelina Jolie Take Two
But with time, Angie lasered off that Billy Bob tattoo and added the coordinates of where all her children were born, along with where Brad Pitt was born. Really beautiful idea.
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria had three love tattoos for her ex, NBA player Tony Parker. This one on her wrist is their wedding date. She also had his number on her neck and his initials in a private location. They have all been lasered off.
Marc Anthony
Marc Anthony once had "Jennifer" tattooed on his wrist -- as in Jennifer Lopez, of course. The couple divorced, and so Marc called a tattoo artist to do a cover-up.

Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom
In happier times, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom showed their love for each other by getting the other's initials tattooed on their hands. Khloe has "LO" and Lamar has "KO."

Amber Rose
Even though they are no longer together, Amber Rose has a very visible tattoo of her ex Wiz Khalifa on her arm. She says she has no intention on removing it unless she ends up married to someone else who has a problem with it. Wiz and Rose have a son together, and when he sees it, he sees his dad. I can understand why she's in no rush to remove it.
Rob Kardashian
Once upon a time, Rob Kardashian and Adrienne Bailon were dating and in love. So much so that they got each other's full names tattooed on themselves. Adrienne had Rob's name tattooed on her behind; Rob got hers on his rib cage. Then, they broke up. Adrienne has since has hers removed, but rumor has it Rob's tattoo is still there.
