Greek Tattoos
 

Hey everyone.

I was wondering; does anyone have their letters tattooed on 'em and are you satisfied with the work?

I have "Alpha <3" (<-- a heart) tattooed on my inner lip...its a weird place but hey..no one sees it and it fades after a few years. I like it because it was something a couple of my sisters did spontaneously :)

Please define "inner lip."

She means inside her mouth.

Thank god!!!
:rolleyes:

Wouldn't that hurt.....

I have a red rose on my left leg. It's easy to hide and leads straight to my heart.

Me and some bros have talked about getting a tattoo with our chapter designation and then a little heart.

I have some of the symbols that are on our badge, in the tramp stamp area. I never show it off, so I don't consider it a tramp stamp. When I decide to finish it, I'm going to add the quattrefoil around it, and then a lion on each side. I loooove getting inked!

hahaha yea maybe I should have been more specific :p

If I ever got a tattoo, I would get a little rose and dagger on one of my ankles. I don't really plan on doing that though. Kappa Delta discourages getting any tattoo with our symbols.

I have a Black Panther (mascot) with my letters and tribal design on my left arm.

Ivy leaf on the inside of my right ankle.

Ehemm....

IT'S NOT MINE! And, honestly, I think it's tacky. I found it on the nationwide Sigma Alpha Iota facebook group....so she's obviously.....very proud of the mostrosity.

and to top it all off, the iota is really crooked. poor girl.

I am so relieved - I looked at the picture, and thought "Oh no! I thought more highly of AlwaysSAI!" - so happy that is NOT your tat!

^^^^
I second your observation.

Oh, no, we have a protocol! Headquarters strongly advises against a tattoo of letters, open motto, badge...etc, etc.

The culprit.....obviously doesn't listen.

ETA: I did a quick search of the website and didn't find anything. I'm going to keep looking. I know I've read it somewhere!

In my chapter, getting a tat has always had a stigma associated with it. In all the years I have been a member, every single guy that got a letters tat has been thrown out or deactivated within a semester. If it was just one or two...no big deal. This was like 7 guys over the course of three years.

I have my letters on the outside of my ankle. They are very tiny, but it still hurt like hell because it was right over the bone. I don't think I'll ever get another.

I actually like that SAI tattoo. It's some beautiful artwork. I wouldn't get it as large as it is, but whoever inked her did a beautiful job on the shading and details.

I don't understand what is SO BAD about tattooing one's letters. Those rules were probably made before tattoos became less taboo. If anything, it shows a sister (or brother's) lifelong devotion.

I like it, I do think it should be smaller too! I would get one but I can't decide whether or not I want something that permanent on my body. Also, if I did it would most likely be Phi Mu related, but I'd never do letters or anything like that...unfortunately, I've asked and pink doesn't show up on brown skin. Otherwise I probably would have gotten one already! :(

I concur. I think the symbol, rather than the letters, would be really cute in most cases (I'm thinking Arrows, Keys, Crescents, Dolphins, Kites....), if it's small. I've seen some hillacious roses tatted up the thigh, in my time, and I mean from the knee up the ying-yang.

I'll need to see a pic when you get the squirrel tat, Benz. ;)

My sisters like star tattoos
And one sister got a firebird-looking phoenix tattoo on her shoulder

It will be a teeny weeny squirrel in my navel. And, mine is an innie. ;)
It will probably happen......................

i'd be hard pressed to get royal blue to show up. and any sort of yellow rose isnt happening on this skin either.

not that any of this crossed my mind seriously. i want no SGRho tattoos. thanks.

There is one girl at the gym that has her "climbing rose". But, she is an exotic dancer.

When I was chapter advisor, one sister was up for standards, and the province director & I were wondering who would pay for the debrasion of the crest tattoo she had.

still rocking the calf badge

I have an assortment of symbols from my fraternity's coat of arms on my upper back

We had a couple people get phoenix tats too. The nice thing is other sisters get it, but everyone else probably just thinks you're a big Stefano DiMera fan. LOL
