I am a huge art fan and an even bigger HR Geiger fan, and have tattoos of a lot of his artwork (mainly his designs from Aliens). I can see how they would be cheesy to many people, but frankly I could care less what others think of it, it's what I think that matters when it comes to what I have tattoed on my body.

Now I do not have any names of friends past or even my kid, or any names for that matter on my body, but I see absolutely no cheesyness in getting your own childs name tattooed on you and would have thought that if you are a parent, that a tattoo relating to your child would be one of the best options and most meaningful.

Now your own name tattooed on yourself does seem cheesy to me.
