Question about a Theta tattoo

[Amberashley]

I am thinking about getting a tattoo that relates to Theta because I'm getting one for the professional fraternity I'm in, and I was just curious what is/isn't acceptable. Like I know it would be very inappropriate to get the letters, but, would it be unacceptable to get our values with the Twin Stars?
Thank you for your time.

My great grand little had the twin stars tattoo'ed on her big toe. That didnt work out very well though because all of her shoes and sandals (including flops) covered it up. As far as values I'm not sure what you mean by that ,but I wouldnt post the answer to that here in a public board just to be safe.

My two cents:

I'm VERY liberal when it comes to... well pretty much everything, and this includes body modification (tattooing and piercing among other things). I myself have about 5 and a half hours in the chair. This being said, I would not feel comfortable getting our Greek Letters tattooed on my body, or the letters spelled out in english. I would feel very comfortable (well haha as comfortable as one can getting a tattoo that is!) and probably will get a tattoo of a symbol like a kite or twin stars. I just feel like letters are something sort of sacred to me. Also, when you are wearing your letters you are an ambassador for your organization, so getting your letters tattooed on your body means that you need to be constantly aware of that. My tattoos are of Girl Scout symbols, and as a result I've become more aware of how I act when others can see them because I am acting as an ambassador for GSUSA.

I know not to get the letters, but I was wondering about (insert moral code here).

I had a sister get the moral code tattoo'd on the small of her back, but she had the chinese symbol equivalents instead of the words.

Pardon the crash...

But with Chinese (or Japanese or Asian symbols for that matter) symbols, please be extra extra careful because the "equivalents" aren't always equivalents and often have different meanings than what they're supposed to say in English. Just because that's what the book or the tattoo artist says doesn't mean they're accurate.
