Kaley Cuoco Tattooed Her Wedding Date on Her Back: 10 Stars With Ink Who Stayed Together

Say what you want about Kaley Cuoco, but there's no question the girl knows what she wants. Less than twelve months ago, the Big Bang Theory star met tennis pro Ryan Sweeney, and in the short time since, the duo began dating, became engaged, and got married. Now, nearly three months into the couple's marriage, she has taken the relationship to an even higher level of commitment: Kaley Cuoco tattooed her wedding date on her back.

For those who dismissed the couple's relationship as short-lived spontaneity, Cuoco's tattoo is a clear sign that she's not backing out anytime soon. Still, getting a permanent reminder of the person one's with, no matter how right it may feel at the time, is always a bit risky. What if you break up? Not every tattoo can be changed into "Wino forever," you know. Still, way more stars than we ever would have thought have gotten love-inspired ink and are still together all these years later. Here's hoping Cuoco follows the paths of these 10 examples.

Dean McDermott

Tattoos: Wife Tori Spelling’s face about his elbow; her name in an “unbelievably intimate” spot.

Happily Ever After: Eh, not quite. Although technically still married, the couple’s not doing so hot. Rumors surfaced late last year that McDermott cheated on Spelling, and soon after, McDermott entered rehab for “personal issues.” Still, they are together — at least for now.

Evan Rachel Wood

Tattoo: Then-boyfriend Jamie Bell’s initials.

Happily Ever After: For awhile, no; the couple broke up after getting their tattoos, with Wood famously dating Marilyn Manson. Now, though, they’re back together and happily married, with an eight-month-old son.

Beyonce

Tattoo: The roman numeral “IV” on her index finger, the same tattoo and placement as husband Jay Z.
