Even though it’s no shocker that getting matching tattoos is a bad idea, celebrities keep on doing it. The latest drama-ridden couples to get ill-advisedly inked? LiLo and Sam, Rihanna and Chris Brown, and Britney and K-Fed. “It’s a terrible idea,” a doc at New York’s Tattoo Removal Center tells the Daily News.

"Buy roses, buy chocolate, buy a puppy and share it. Don’t get matching tattoos.”
