I see no problem with getting one's own name tattooed. Why not?! You are born alone and you die alone. The only person you can count on is yourself. And you should love yourself above all else.
..partner - silly but maybe to show your love. Your own name? what is the thinking behind it? you love yourself? you dont want to forget it? so you dont have to tell people, you just point? rant over
I will never understand why people get there own name. I dont like to put negative comments because it's on there body for ever but surely it's the most unoriginal tattoo to get done. Other names I can understand Mum, Dad - you may want to remember them...
