tattoos

Biggest reason that I can think of for not getting your sorority letters tattooed on your young self: sagging and wrinkly sorority letters later in life. Also, I'm a chicken regarding pain.

It's nice when someone goes from passive aggressive to just being straight up rude, closed minded and snobby. Easier for casual readers to figure out, don't cha know.

I'm sure there are members of EVERY sorority who have tattoos in general (from small to large) and who, believe it or not, are in national leadership roles. My answer was regarding tats period, not those with letters - everyone has their own rules about those. Honestly, tattoos aren't "shocking" anymore. This whole discussion reads like a missive from a 1971 fraternity magazine about the evils of sideburns.

But yeah, be careful with ANY large pieces...lower back or anywhere.

#1 reason why I have not gotten and will not get a tattoo. I went with a friend to get her tongue pierced. Someone else in the shop was getting a tattoo at the time. Just the sound of the needle was making me nauseous.

When I saw Chris Parnell in a lab coat, I thought he was going to introduce himself as Dr. Leo Spaceman.

Just the thought of tongue piercing makes me feel lightheaded and close to fainting. I can't believe I made it through childbirth.

Sounds like you and I are on the same page...so if you made it, that gives me hope for myself, someday, lol

When you get to that point, you really don't have any choice.

Sorry for getting off subject! Now, back to tattoos!

First of all, the OP is an SDT who asked this in the SDT forum. Only SDT can answer for and about SDT. One SDT responded about her chapter but there should be non-GC resources to tell SDT members about official and unofficial policies and protocol. GC is not a good resource for your org's policies and protocol...but whatever makes the Internet generation happy.

I would love for NtBrnHair to say that around women who she ASSUMES do not have tattoos, sorority or otherwise. She may be in for a rude awakening.

I do not have tattoos and I do not want any permanent/semi-permanent markers on MY body. That does not translate to there being something wrong with any form of tattooing (or other permanent and semi-permanent body markings).

This topic has been discussed so much on GC.

It's not like most of the people who get tattoo regret later. I think it's a coincidence that you met most of those who regretted later. Yes.....there is one where people may regret later, when they get tattoos of names of their girlfriend or boyfriend.
