My mom always signed cards and letters exactly the same so my sister had tattooed on her wrist after my mom passed away.

I think it is very sweet!
And, because I can't help it...(LOL)
It is a sweet testament as to one of the reasons why sending actual mail, with your words handwritten is still so important to the people who receive those letters and cards. Texting and emails are all great and wonderful, but you can't discount the impact that thoughtfully written words can have.
A tattoo of a text, sweet words or not, doesn't have the same impact.

Agree, Anxiousmom, sometimes the written word means more, and it's
something that you can hold and keep forever. That's why the bundle of old love letters tied with a ribbon means so much!

That is really sweet and meaningful. I looked through the comments and got a little choked up seeing all the different signature tattoos. Every time I go out of town without my kiddo & have to leave before he wakes up, I slip a note under his door telling him how much I love him. He's saved them all.  |

If I were to get a tattoo, which I am not a fan of I would do something like this as well. I looked at the other and they made me cry..so sweet.

Normally, I don't like tattoos, but that is so sweet. I lost my Mom two years ago and had a brief thought of oh that would be cool to have.

My mom died in June 2012. I've been wanting to get a tattoo of a butterfly, something she loved and is engraved on her Urn. Now I see this and I think I need the butterfly AND her signature. I'll have to go dig through my cards to find her writing. I'm guessing THIS POST is why I haven't hard the courage to get it done just yet.

Those tattoos are awesome. I don't know if I could do that with my moms handwriting of a note she left me. I still get tears in my eyes every time I see something she wrote. I always thought she had beautiful handwriting. She always wrote notes for us kids every morning before she went to work (she had to leave at 4:30am) to tell us what our chores were for the day. I remember getting out of bed every morning right after she left to get my note. then I would read it and take it to bed with me. I started doing this because if I didn't my sisters would take the note and tell me what to do even if it wasn't my day to do the chore they told me to do but then I found myself saving the notes because I loved my moms writing and wanted to write like her.
For some reason I never could write like her. she had the perfect writing she could have been a teacher of cursive writing. I have every card she ever gave me. I keep all the greeting cards I have ever gotten, but it started with the ones she gave me because of her writing. now 5 years after she passed I have a hard time looking at them because I want to cry. I will never see another word.
