Today, I got my very first tattoo. Excited, I sent a picture to my best friend. Her response? "You're joking, right?" FML

hi guys ? OP here. I'm actually very surprised this posted, aha, but just clarification, I got this tattoo as an early birthday present, and I got it matching with my mom so no matter what it's meaningful to me. it's of a silly ghost and it's one that both me and my mom both liked, and matches the relationship we have. after I explained to my friend that indeed it was not a joke, and the reasoning behind getting it, she apologized but yeah ? i don't regret the tattoo, but it's always nice for close friends' feedback! thanks for your guys' comments ☺️

The hallmark of a good friend: someone who tells you what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear.

True but at that point it is too late to do anything about it so there isn't really any point in saying you don't like it. Unless OP then decided on laser surgery or covering it up. But you don't want them to feel miserable or bad about it if they can't change it

I'm sorry they acted that way OP. I have 6 tattoos and always get negative comments about a few. It happens. Just brush them off, you got the tattoo because you wanted it and that's what matters.

I have 13 and people always have something to say about atleast one of them. some good some bad. I always brush it off because I chose it, I wanted it so I got it. doesn't personally affect them

I think this really depends on what the tattoo is of. Sure it's your body and your choice but if you got a tattoo of something really stupid a good friend should call you on it before you decide you want a facial tattoo.

No. This is why you don't get tattoos... Without giving a good bit of thought.

Cheap tattoos aren't good and good tattoos aren't cheap!

Maybe she was just really surprised that you got a tattoo at all, or maybe she was upset you didn't tell her first.
