Kelsey Grammer Gets Wife's Name Tattooed on Hip: How Do You Feel About Significant Other Tattoos?

Fourth time's the charm? It had better be, because Kelsey Grammer just got his fourth wife's name tattooed on his hip. The 57-year-old "Frasier" star dropped by Insight Studios in Chicago on Saturday to make "Kayte" his very first tattoo. Maybe some permanent ink will make his marriage to Kayte Walsh a little more permanent than his first three.

Bob Jones, owner of the tattoo parlor, told The Sun Times, "He was pretty cool about it. He said it was his first tattoo and he did some research and said, 'You guys seemed to be the best place to go.'" Jones also recalled that the 21-year-old receptionist had no idea who he was, and Kelsey Grammer "looked at her funny" when she asked. Because you'd have to be crazy not to watch "Frasier," right? So, we're curious. What do you think about getting a tattoo of your significant other's name?

    It's like a curse. If the relationship doesn't work, then it's embarrassing to explain who's name is tattooed on you and why. Then again, if it's your goal to curse the relationship to an untimely end, getting a tattoo might just work for you.

    Sounds romantic at the time, but people change their minds and there for the new romantic interest to see is the roster of past loves. A good starter for the wrong kind of conversation. Who needs it? Etching your lover's name in your heart has much better results.
    (Everyone has thier own opinion, but personally, I think tattoos are tacky and disgusting.)

    The only people whose connection to you that is not subject to change are blood relatives. Everybody else...the relationship may have an expiration date so permanent disfigurement with their name is a HORRIBLE idea...

    I would never put my significant others name on my body. But something special that represents the relationship. Like something we share in comman or perhaps a favorite place to visit. Something that will be respectful of both parties and tasteful if you do end up not together anymore.

    The only thing that lasts forever is your dog's love of you so tattoo Rover on your butt. If a tat is needed just tell your latest lover she is tattooed all over your heart.

    The Nazis tattooed numbers on the arms of prisoners. Do we want to emulate their disgusting ideas? Our skin is precious and we should leave it clean. Tattooing is disgusting!

    I think that there is nothing wrong if you have someone from your past on your skin. Obviously that person had meant a lot to you, people shouldn't deny their past. If the person in your current relationship truly has a problem with it, then they have their own issues to deal with, such as insecurity.

    I don't like Tatto's "period"! but if I did I wouldn't put a spouse's or significant other on me. Relationships these days come and go..who wants a memory of something that didn't work out on their body. Even if it was a good memory, a new person who comes into your life may not like being reminded of the former one. I've been married 43 years and I haven't a tatto yet!

    If I got a tattoo with someone's name on it, it would be my kids, or close family members that passed. Never my significant other. No offense, but if a breakup were to ever happen, I wouldn't want my exes name on my body.

    Just stupid a close friend of mine has been married AND DIVORCED three times to add to his foolishness he got tats from each of his swings and misses. He recently got this monstrous and very expensive overlay that almost covers all the arm art up almost. There has to be a better way of saying "I love you" other than ink but whoever thought Kelsey was all that bright anyway or did he just stay in a Holiday Inn Express?

    ... but make sure you are committed to the marriage!

    Don't stop dating after you get married... dating your spouse regularly is one of the ingredients in keeping the love alive. I take my wife on a date twice a month... babysitters are a lot cheaper than divorces, and you'll be happier in the long run!

    8 years, 2 kids and still in love! ☺ (But not tattoos for me, it's not so socially acceptable in my subculture. I've no objection to other people getting them, however.)

    What people choose to do to their own body doesn't matter to me. What happens when Kayte is no longer his 'leading lady?' Does she just get 'X'ed over? I have heard that high schoolers are asked what their parent's hair looked like once upon a time when they discuss body painting like tattoos. "What if they had to still had to have that look today?" Just remember that tattoos are there to stay. Hair cuts can change. Kids seem to relate to this analogy.
