Just be glad that you don't wear a titanium wedding band. When my wife and I got married, we had gold rings with Celtic designs, then I noticed the ridges on my ring was wearing out. So I stopped wearing it to preserve it and we bought some titanium bands instead. Then i read about a guy with a titanium ring that was crushed against his finger and he lost his finger because they could not get it off in time. So I quit wearing it.

Been married for over 25 years. Use to wear it at work for the first month after getting married but it just seemed to get in the way. Took it off and never wore it since. I think it is in my dresser draw.

I'm just the opposite, married this July 53 years. I've worn the wedding band all that time. Though 1 wore through and she bought another. That one now is about 75% less in thickness than when it was new.

Now one job the ring always came off. Lead wiping and rings do not mix.

Solder melts at what 460 F. If it ran off the pad and hit a ring you got a instantanous 360 degree 3rd degree burn.

Can't titanium be cut off like any other metal?

It can't be cut easily.

I would have told them to cut my finger off.....take the ring off of it and then put my finger on. A Dr here put a boys arm back on in the early 80's after it was torn off by a washing machine.....they were playing "wall ball" and the ball went in the washer and he reached in to get it and ripped his arm off. The washers were open top and were some type of commercial washer.

Never had mine past the end of my finger. My mom and dad were married 52 years and he never had his past the end of his finger. Me 17 yrs. and counting, I kinda like the tradition

A plumber I worked with a few years ago nev3er wore gloves to run a sewer snake. Cable had a burr in it and caught his ring and pulled it right off. An electician I know was working in a panel box and his ring hit a live wire he suffered severe burns on his hand.
I just showed my wife the pic that redwood posted. she told me never to wear that ring to work. I like the idea of tatooing one on though might throw that at her.

Oh no! Visible tattoos! You cannot be a service plumber now!

Just kidding, I like the tattoo. Cool idea. Lisa.
