Getting An In Love Tattoo

I recently heard that Khloe Kardashian and her new hubby Lamar Odom have gotten matching tattoos.

They got each other’s initials. He got K on his hand and she got LO on hers.

She made the announcement on her blog, writing:

"I'm definitely a believer in tattoos as long as they are thoughtful and have significant meaning, which all of mine do. On my wrist I have 'I love you' in my father’s handwriting and on my lower back I have a cross and angel wings with 'Daddy' written above it in honor of my father and now I have my husband's initials 'LO.'

"Tattoos are something you’ll have for the rest of your life so it’s important to get one that truly means something to you."

I’m not a big tattoo person, but I do have a small pink tea rose on my back and there’s nothing wrong with a guy who gets some ink on his arm. I don’t like it, however, when people get carried away.

I hate to see a woman with tattoos all over -- arms, thighs, calf, ankle, foot, boob, back.

And a man with a bunch of tats isn't sexy after about three or four.

Oh, and the neck tattoos, whatda, whatda, whatda? Ummmm how do you expect to get a professional job with a tattoo on yo neck?

Any who.

I would like to get another tattoo, but it absolutely has to be somewhere that I can cover it up if I don’t want it shown off. I'm thinking that within the next year I'll either have a peace sign or those little bitty hearts inked on my lower back or arm.

But after hearing about Odom and Kardashian, I started thinking that a previous idea I had for a tattoo was a bad idea.

My ex-husband has "Everything You Love" tatted on him in Edwardian Script letters.

This is his signature toast when throwing 'em back.

I wanted for a while to get EYL on me.

I’m afraid of needles, yes, afraid and have a very low tolerance for pain so it never happened. But oh my gooodness, what if I had gotten tatted on me something that represents what he says all the time. Yikes!

When someone would ask me what does that mean, I can just see myself scrambling for an answer. Ummm my ex-husband used to always toast and say, "Everything You Love so I got a shortened version of it tatted on me."

Or if I would neglect the truth I would say, "It means Love You Everyday backwards."

I haven’t been one to jump on Odom and Kardashian for jumping the broom sooooo sooon. Heck, I have my own problems so if it works for them -- wonderful.

But the tattoos on their hands to me is a bit ridiculous. At least they could have gotten them on their butts. And really a tattoo on your hand?

Yea, I get the whole joined in union thing and it would be slickadocious if in fact the divorce rate wasn’t soooooo high.

Would you get a tattoo representing someone else on your body? Tell me.
