GLO tattoos...

KappaTarzan · #1 07-03-2002, 10:44 PM

just wondering who has a tattoo with their GLO incorporated somehow (even if it is your symbol or mascot instead of your letters).. i personally do.. picture:

personally i am a tattoo/piercing lover, so i have a few of each..

also.. is it unnacceptable in your org to have a GLO related tattoo? a tattoo at all? visible piercings? all are okay in my GLO..

I have been thinking about getting a red rose tattoo on the small of my back. I wanted two flowers...one reason was because of AOII and the other was to symbolize my grandparents. But, I don't think I would do a tatto now. There are a couple of girls in my chapter with rose tattoos.

My chapter isn't real picky about visible piercings. Myself and another girl had our tongues pierced, one had her eye-brow pierced as well. We just see it as fun! I am a piercing fan...I have pierced several things to rebel/be noticed! I like the shock factor cause piercings don't fit my appearance and the way I behave.

I would not discourage getting a tattoo that showed AOII, but I would just make sure the girls know what a tattoo means...it is forever!

I wanted to get a tat of our badge, but the guy was having problems drawing it, so I told him to come up with something. The only problem I have with it is the way the letters are drawn and that it's small. Other than that I love it and I'm happy with it.

I wanted to get our open motto in greek letters as a tatoo... hmmm still thinking!

Some of my sisters have tattoos of angels (our mascot), and others have random tattoos. I can only think of two girls that have nose rings. A ton of girls have their navels and tongues pierced.

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for awhile. I'm supposed to get one for my birthday later this year but I think I'm going to put it off until I can think of something really good.

My chapter doesn't really have a problem with piercings either. I've had my tongue pierced for a while, another sister has her nose pierced, and a lot of the others have their belly buttons pierced.

As far as tattoos go...while I love my letters a lot, I don't think it's appropriate to have it tattooed on to my body. That's just my opinion.

Why do you feel it's inappropriate? I'm just wondering, b/c I'm weighing the pros and cons of getting a tattoo of my letters, of something else, or a tattoo at all.

I don't think it is too much of a bright idea to get your letters, crest, or badge tattooed until you're in your GLO after 2 or 3 years. You don't want to quit and have that on your body forever.

One of my Brothers has a 8 " TAT of the Coat of Arms on his right shoulder.

It is really awesome, especially if you have seen The LXA Coat of Arms.

Some have the Cross and Cresent Tats also.

ME, NO WAY!!!!

My house thinks that getting a tat of your letters is "gay". But I'm going to get one of the pledge badge or maybe the active badge where it's supposed to be on the chest.

I've got a tattoo with my letters. I dont think its unacceptable but with my org. i run the chance of being attacked by individual members for it.

No girls have an Org. related tatoo in my chapter.. but quite a few have other tatoos, a few of us have naval piercings, I think one one of us has a tounge ring. As a side note there is another soror on my campus where A LOT of the girls have tongue piercings and I noticed it, not a negative thing at all... but it stuck in my mind. So those of you who think it doesn't matter, PNMs do notice stuff like which chapter has the girls with piercings and tatoos.

I have our letters in a darker silver blue color with a wine arrow going through the letters. An inch and half wide and a half an inch tall. It is on the inside of my right ankle. I am going somewhere that a tattoo might not be appropriate I wear sandals with a back strap, it is easily covered, or a band-aid.

We use to go after initiation to the coast to eat dinner and the members that wanted tattoos got them, some on their ankles (mostly inside), others’ at their bikini line.

We got the idea one year during rush. Our Traveling consultant from Miami University (Ohio) had one.

That's funny cuz sooo many of the Delt Sigs at my school have their letters.

I've been a Phi Mu for almost 2 1/2 years, otherwise I woudln't have gotten it tattooed.

If you're having any doubts about your GLO at all, it's best to think things over BEFORE Initiation--not 15 minutes in to it or 3 years after it.
