I have a tattoo thats "related" to the Jim Henson film Labyrinth. I didn't get a character or logo done, just a black inked Labyrinth design. As a result, you wouldn't know that I got it as a result of the film unless I told you.
So even if one day I decide I don't like the movie that much anymore, the tattoo still has some value in it because it's not blatantly from the movie.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is, I can see why people like to show their love via a tattoo, but you have to take steps to make sure you'll still like the tattoo in the event that you grow to dislike the fandom (That, or just be damn sure you'll love it for the rest of your life).
