I like how you think.
I have half a sleeve on one arm, and a small memorial on the inside of my other arm in memorial of my Mom passing away. I have never once looked at that memorial and thought it was tacky. The font of the writing is almost exactly in her handwriting so it has a lot of meaning for me.
