It would never occur to most folks to put tats on their body to commemorate or memorialize anything. Even folks with lots of tattoos already. Doing so does indicates that you think differently than most people. That might be a good thing or bad...depending on what one is looking for. That said, most folks talking about tats are generally not thinking of memorials...but rather, the typical frivolous "tramp stamps" or the the guy that covers himself with skulls and demons in his own miniaturized landscape of hell on skin.

When I was young, I was always told that they look at your shoes when considering you for a job. If the soles were badly worn, you were a good candidate for a hard, physical job or one where you had to take a lot of crap (as "you really needed the money." If a bit higher level job, they wanted to see how well you took care of those shoes (clean/shined/repaired) as that indicated how meticulous you would be on the job.
