I think there are a lot of dumb tattoos out there, but there are also a lot of beautiful ones, with deep personal meanings. I think no matter where you put it, a tattoo for your GLO is fine because brotherhood and sisterhood are supposed to be for life. I have a tiny tattoo of my letters on my heel and I LOVE it.

I don't mean to slam anyone with a tattoo, although it probably sounds like that. I'll readily admit that I'm of an older age and a culteral background that tends to view tattoos as, well, trashy. But I know plenty of good folks view them otherwise.
I quibble a bit though with the idea that that's why you only get tattoos that mean something. What means a lot to someone at 20 (or what you think is beautiful at 20) may be quite different from what's meaningful or beautiful to them at 70. (And really -- have you ever seen any 70-year-old whose tattoos looked good? I haven't.) That's the case even when it involves something like lifetime sisterhood or brotherhood --just ask the guy whose tattoo professes his love for the woman he ended up divorcing when she cheated on him.
If someone wants a tattoo of their letters, fine -- no skin off my nose. But I'm content with my badge.
