The idea of a tattoo never appealed to me - but a couple of guys in my chapter had the badge tattooed on their shoulder.

I'm sure that that's an international rule, not a chapter rule

It's forbidden to tattoo Gamma Phi Beta (letters/words) on you and our crest.I'm sure our closed motto and signature are out too; I'm not too sure on all the details though.

One of my friends that is a Sigma Chi has a really nice (and large)tattoo of their badge on his chest, minus certain things

Personally, I don't have any tattoos but I don't think that I would ink myself with anything Gamma Phi related

Or your chapter is unaware of the rules...

I'm putting bets on Texas State chapter.

It is? This is the first I've heard of this rule.

A few sisters in my chapter had tiny crescent moons tattooed on their ankles.

That's different than our crest, greek letters, or name. I'm not much on the idea of tattoos, but I'd prefer a crescent moon to our crest. Plus I don't think the crest would translate well into a tattoo.
