The only names you should ever have permanently tattooed on your body are the names of your kids, your parents, and your deity– those things are never changing. However, a boyfriend or girlfriend's name permanently etched into your shoulder can prove to be a little riskier. You may think that'll you'll be in love forever, but that tattoo is a heckuvalot more permanent than most relationships.
Nott unlike the 'heart-mom' tattoo that speckled every sailor's arm, the boyfriend/girlfriend matching tattoo is a trope that's been used for decades. We've seen countless celebrities cross out the name of an ex on their neck or tattoo over an ex-wife with a picture of their dog, which should be enough of a warning to us regular folks heading to the tattoo parlor with our boo. Perhaps we're just too naive, too in love, or just too dumb to avoid repeating those same mistakes. For one man, he decided to use this to his advantage when he found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him.

She merrily agreed, unaware that OP had discovered her double life of deception, where she was frequently hooking up with his coworker.
