Would you ever get a Chanel tattoo?

I once met a girl with the c's on the backs of her elbows. She called them her "CHANELBOWS", haha. I found it clever, but preeeeetty sure she's going to regret that one in time.
 
I don't see a problem with it. I have tattoos and they are personal. If a person wants to have a logo tattooed on them then it's their choice. It's permanent, but no less an advertisement than bold CCs on a handbag. I can understand an interlocking Cs tattoo more than interlocking Cs earrings - that to me is just paying for a brand logo usually in the form of tiny fake stones that are glued in and fall out for a ridiculously high sum of money - honestly without the interlocking Cs you could pick up Chanel costume jewelry at Claires for a few bucks. However, it's about being seen in the Cs and whether that's a tattoo or some other Chanel item doesn't matter. We are all sucked into the allure of the exclusivity. This is just my perception and probably way off from the norm...Having said that, do the people who say it's tacky hate the idea of a Chanel tattoo or a tattoo in general? And those who say it isn't personal, maybe a Chanel tattoo is personal to someone - a gal whose mom used to wear No. 5 all the time, the gal whose hubby gave her a Chanel bag for every anniversary - it could be a special meaning to the person who has it.

ETA: I don't have a CC tattoo

well said !!!
 
I saw an SA at Saks chicago TATTOO THE SIDE OF 1 LEG (KNEE DOWN) WITH THE IMAGE OF COCO CHANEL.

Exactly like this but more like lines and silhouette, not a real life looking tattoo:
