Well, right after my daughter's dad was killed I had his name tattooed in a band around my arm. It was an emotionally driven decision that I made because I loved him so much, and I wanted to have or keep a part of him... It sounds kind of weird. Anyway, it's his nickname that I called him. The only problem is that now, people ask me about the tat. "What does that say/mean?" It puts me in a position to make us both slightly uncomfortable for a moment, and people always say, "Oh, I'm so sorry, which makes me feel bad for being too personal with a stranger. However the deep significance of the meaning of it forces me to explain it's meaning instead of just saying, it's my daughter's dad's name...
