Tattoos are great, but brands are fugly.

Umm I'm in a MGLO and there's no way in hell I would get a brand regardless of the organization. That's just absurd to me!

I don't know why but this made me laugh my ass off.

I'll pass. Thanks.

A couple of my sisters did have little heart or dove tattoos, but I think even the most liberal among them would draw the line somewhere before branding.

I'm with the rest of y'all on this. Brands are for cattle, not people.

Even if I liked them, I wouldn't get one - my family tends towards keloids.

Ugh, don't remind me about this!

I have a small violet tat on my ankle, but i got it mostly because the violet (while it was Sigma's flower) was my grandma's favorite flower and we were very close. I am pretty pro inking and mods, but I draw the line at thinking of branding. It just seems like a bad idea to me.

One AXiD at my school had a tattoo of TFJ and her family symbol, a ladybug, on her shoulder. It seemed kinda trashy to me... I dunno.

I've briefly thought about a tattoo with my letters but I couldn't think of a way that I would ever want my grandkids to see. Does that make sense? hehehe.

I have an ADPi tattoo. I'd have to seriously think a/b a brand though...

Ohmigosh, no way! I've never seen a woman with a GLO brand (or any other brand, for that matter)...I thought only guys did that.

Two close friends of mine (NPHC) have them, and I was present when they got them done. One of them has more than one. I love my friends dearly, but those brands? Not so much. Plus, the way they were done (technique/location) just didn't seem like a fitting tribute to their sorority.

I was thinking from a marketing perspective - we all have a "brand" to sell! (Apparently NOT what the OP was talking about!).
