Well for a start tattoos of all kind are now a lot more socially acceptable than they used to be. People who chose to have tattoos done used to be regarded as being slightly rebellious, and there's no doubt that certain sections of society used to look down on these people. Nowadays, however, although some prejudice inevitably still exists, people with tattoos are not generally viewed in the same way. Indeed tattoos are now extremely fashionable thanks in no small part to the many famous celebrities who are choosing to get them done and displaying them for all to see.

Whichever tattoo you choose, whether it's a memorial cross tattoo or a tombstone design, memorial tattoo in general are a great way to remember loved ones who are no longer with us.
