Everyone, it seems, has a very personal reason for getting the kanji for "love" and "strength" tattoos.
I didn't say you were doing it because it was popular, but when I was at the pool last week I would have needed more hands to count all the 力 and 愛 tattoos I saw. (And for some reason two people had 好水 meaning "like water" but they were at the pool, so I guess they like water).
Just keep in mind that 力 is not the only way to write strength, and that it doesn't simply mean "strength" as Western concepts and Eastern concepts are not parallel.
