Yay, Dragon's muse - thank you for exlaining further - hell, I'm jealous, lol. The design sounds wonderful. *dreamy eyes* And if I'd meet you on the beach, I asked you.

I'm impressed to see a good few people here into this, whether it's a branding, cut, tattoo or something less obvious and permanent as a customised piercing (nice idea, by the way!!). For me, that's the stuff of dreams and something I'd love to do when the time is right.

I agree with what has been said by some here...a full name wouldn't be my thing at all, but having something personal or even worked in initials to remind you of a wonderful and intense time with a special someone, really appeals to me. And no, I wouldn't be reluctant to do it for fear of that particular relationship not working out - I've never had hard feelings when breaking up with someone and would think that I'd love to cherish the intimate moments even after the paths go off in different directions. It's like other scars or tattoos etc you carry - they have a story to tell and are a part of you forever...I love it.
