Today, I was yelled at while I was shopping by some lady, because she saw my tattoo on my arm. She screamed that I'm the "spawn of Satan" and told me I'm going to hell. It's a fake tattoo of Mickey mouse. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a woman yelled at me for hurting her. I'm a tattoo artist. FML
Today, I was screamed at by a girl, all because I wore a pride-themed Mickey Mouse shirt. Apparently, I’m supporting “hypocritical capitalist freaks” who profit off LGBT people, yet support anti-LGBT legislation. Also, she commented about my Starbucks drink, another “anti-LGBT company.” I can’t win. FML
Today, I went to get my first tattoo. When I told the man that I wanted Tinkerbell on my lower back area. He snorted and told me that I was way too old to have Tinkerbell on me, and that Disney characters are only cute on people 35 and younger. I'm 23. FML
Today, a tattoo artist angrily threw me out of his store because an "88" tattoo is apparently a Nazi thing, representing “Heil Hitler.” I just wanted my birth year. FML
Today, a woman stopped me and started chewing me out for wearing a pentagram necklace. I explained to her that is wasn't a pentagram, it was a Star of David. She continued chewing me out because apparently that still means I hate Jesus. FML
Today, I got a tattoo. My mom got upset and threw a bitch fit about how my body "is a temple and it belongs to God.” I told her, “My body, my choice.” She responded with, “Oh really? Well, my house, my choice who lives here. Pack your shit and get the fuck out.” I’m currently in my car with nowhere to go. FML
Today, my mom tried to burn my arm with a hot spatula, all because I got a tattoo against her wishes. FML
Today, despite my warnings and knowing I hate them, my wife got a trashy tattoo of an eye on her ankle, like she’s Count Olaf. How is she going to get a job with that thing? FML
Today, my friend showed off her new tattoo, which is supposed to say "bad bitch" in Italian, and I had to point out that it actually says "defective female". Her response was to cuss me out and inform me that I'm no longer part of her social circle. FML
Today, my mom found out that I got a tattoo two years ago. She got mad and spanked me. I'm 33 years-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP should just tell the old lady, "it's okay, you are going there before me anyway". You can't reason with the religious nut-jobs like her.

I could be wrong, but I've always been under the impression that tattoos are quite often frowned upon or are even associated with the yakuza in Japan, and particularly in more rural areas? This isn't pure speculation on my part. I live with two male Japanese exchange students, and before I took a trip to Japan last year asked them about it (I'm a girl and was thinking of getting a tattoo). Whilst I was over there, I very occasionally saw a guy with a visible tattoo, but I believe it can still cause problems in day-to-day life, particularly in the workplace and in some of the more traditional onsen (public baths). I never - ever - saw a tattoo on a girl. My housemates told me that were I to get one in a visible place, this would be really shocking to quite a few people (although I don't know how true that would have been in Tokyo, I spent a lot of time in very rural locations where I suspect this would have been the case). So, I can't help but think that the lady's dramatic reaction wasn't in response to the subject matter of the transfer, but rather to the fact that OP (not sure if they're a boy/girl) had what seemed to be a tattoo on show. Of course there are exceptions (cue masses of people telling me about the masses of Japanese friends they have who have tattoos). Just saying. Probs nothing to do with Mickey Mouse.

Mickey is awesome, she is not, people are scared of the unknown, what do you expect from her?

Had she scrubbed it off you with a sponge, you'd have a Deadmau5 on your hands.

ALL PRAISE THE DARK PRINCE! Really though, that's ****** up OP, especially since it was Mickey Mouse. I have real tattoos on my arms and no one has said something like that to me. Just ignore them, they aren't important.
