The bond you share with your best friend is like no other relationship you'll ever have.

Boys will come and go, along with certain people you thought would always be in the picture.

But your best friend? She's not going anywhere. 

Sure, you fight. You're human beings. Why, just ten minutes ago my best friend got sassy with me for not balancing the washing machine, shit happens. 

But when it's really important, when you're hurting and scared, when you need to be with someone who just plain understands you like no one else, it's your best friend you turn to.

We have two families in this life, the one we are born into and the one we make ourselves. Our best friend is often the centerpiece of this second family, and with good reason. 

There are lots of ways of honoring this relationship, but now more than ever friendship matching tattoos are becoming super popular.

There's something about the permanence of the ink in a tattoo that reflects the gravity of your commitment to your friend.

You don't have to get a tattoo with your bestie to make your bond the real deal, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
