Yes. If they are both your devices there won't be any problems. If they belong to different people, it's usually recommended to use separate IDs to create separate iCloud accounts (otherwise your data will be merged and you will share the same iCloud email account and 5GB of free storage), as well as for iMessage and FaceTime (otherwise you will get each other's text messages and FaceTime calls), while sharing the same ID for iTunes purchasing (if both people are in the same family).
