Isn't that smarter than getting a significant other's name tattooed on and then breaking up with them and having it there forever?
IMO, because the star you thinks is simply the coolest, greatest thing ever when you are eighteen is probably not going to still be your greatest idol when you are thirty. Fads die, trends pass. I mean really, do you still think that person is still going to think "Snakes on a Plane" is the greatest movie ever made in ten years? LOL
If I would have gotten a tatoo of Jon Bon Jovi in 1986, I would have LOVED it ... until about 1990. And I would be MORTIFIED to still have it on my body today.
I have my husband's name on my ankle. I have every intention of being married to him until I die. Things happen, of course ... but he is my husband. I think Sam Elliott is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I don't want his face on my arm.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
