Then why not wear cross in a necklace?

Yes. There is something very satisfying about putting a faith-based marking on our body.
A lot of Christians do it, anyway, finding that faith based tattoo designs are an effective conversation-starter in witness conversations.

I think that is better than a tattoo that involves disfiguring God given skin.
Righttruth:

Well, tattoos are not for everyone.

But a lot of Christians do make the conscious decision to do it; and I guess they would not see it as disfigurement; often it's a witness means.

I saw this quote about the sheer numbers of ppl in the Bible Belt that do it:

It used to be a man thing to do, but it seems like it's become a very womanly thing to do, now, right?

I read this thread then clicked on forums and an ad popped up. For safe tattoo removal
Some ppl live to regret their ink. Others certainly don't! (I've lost count of the posts on this forum where the poster says s/he does not regret getting tattooed.)
