I'm assuming you mean tattoos related to your GLO, BGLO, LGLO so I think that's kind of on topic
I would never get my fraternity's letters or crest (or motto... etc,) tattooed on me out of respect for those things and what they represent to and for me.
I don't know that I ever would, but have no problem with, getting tattoos of symbols, mascots, etc. as long as these aren't things that would immediately associate me with my GLO. For exapmle, one of my fraternity's symbols is a yellow rose. If I have that tattooed on me, you're not going to know why until I tell you.
My reasoning is that there are times that you wouldn't be wearing your letters (such as if you're out drinking with friends.. things like this). If you have a visable tattoo that immediately associates you with XYZ, then it reflects that entire organization. (I think someone mentioned this on another thread also). This is another reason I wouldn't get my letters, crest, etc. as a tattoo.
My love for my GLO should show without those permanent marks, through my actions, conversations, and aid to the organization.
Of course, this is how
I see things. I have seen people get their letters and such tattooed on them, and I
can respect that they do this out of love and pride for their org.
Incidentally, I'm getting my first tattoo in a couple of weeks, and I'm
geeked!!!
(And it has nothing to do with my fratenrity).
