Make it meaningful

I just need to say this: For all of you who are reading this and have tattoos...what does yours mean? I ask this because I see people who walk around flaunting their tattoos and when you ask why they got it, some ridiculous answer is given that makes no sense. I have a tattoo. Its the Adinkra symbol Nyame Dua that means "the tree of God" and represents God's presence and protection. I always wanted to get one but wanted something meaningful, that had purpose. Then I got to a place in my life where I was so emotionally displaced and rediscovered God in my life. So I got the tattoo as a constant reminder of the power of God in my life. So I question...why did you get your tattoo and what does it mean to you and to the purpose of your life?
