Why do people tattoo their child's names on themselves?

my military son-in-law tattooes his wife and kids names on himself so he feels near them when he is deployed.

Why do people tattoo their child's names on themselves?
i think it's sweet.





what i dont like is the fact that my friend's dad only tattooed her name on him so he could remember her name. he wound up spelling it wrong too.


now that's just sad.......
Reply:To show how much they love their children. Did you see the man with 20 children? it was a documentry on last night and he had all twenty names on his back in a tree.
Reply:Well not being a fan of tattoos at all it baffles me.





However, i guess some parents like to show tattoos honouring their kids.
Reply:It is better than tattooing a man's name on yourself. I think it depends on how many children you have.
