Today, my dad found out I got a tattoo behind his back and is really really upset. When I got home from work my car wasn't in the driveway. When I asked my dad where it was, he replied "you'll get it back when your tattoo comes off." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came to terms with the fact that my dad will die without knowing I have tattoos on my body. I'm afraid my dad will suffer a deadly heart attack due to the revelation, as he had two heart failures in the past. My dad is still the sort of person who thinks that people with tattoos are criminals. 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
Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML
Today, I was getting my first tattoo done. My parents told me it was a bad idea. My friends' parents told me it was a bad idea. I told them that people get tattoos done all the time and nothing goes wrong. Fifty minutes into the tattoo on my back, the artist said, "Oh shit, shit, shit. We can fix this." FML
Today, I got my first tattoo. I felt good about it, until I told my mom, who was not happy. She responded by taking me out of her car insurance policy, family plan, and charging me for rent every month since I, "wanna be all grown up now.” FML
Today, is the day I got my first tattoo. It's also the day where my mom screamed at me, gave me the silent treatment, and kicked me out of the house. Apparently I’m not considered her daughter anymore, because my skin is “damaged” now. I don’t have other family anywhere, and I have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I realized my husband and I have been fighting a lot lately, so to show him how much I care, I got a tattoo with his name on it. He hates it. FML
Today, my dad came out of jail. He showed me his tattoo of a Bible on his chest with all his 13 kids' names on it. I'm the only one whose name is spelled wrong. 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, I heard from my little nephews that in school, the father of one of their peers has his arms all covered in tattoos. Their grandpa told my nephews to stay away from people with tattoos, as they were likely criminals and wanting to kidnap children. He doesn't know I have a tattoo in my back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When you willfully break the rules, don't come crying to FML when you see the consequences.

YDI for sneaking around. Act responsible, wait till your 18, then get one. OR, be responsible, TALK IT OVER WITH YOUR DAD then get one with his approval.

If she didn't do it behind his back and actually talked to him, this might not have happened. Who knows maybe she gets horrid grades and he didn't want her getting one until she proved she is responsible enough to get one. We don't know the details.

I had a similar situation happen. My step daughter who is 12 went out and got a tattoo at a friends house. Now of course because of her age she couldn't have a car taken away but her phone

*Sorry, I don't know why my comment cut off before. /= I had a similar situation happen. My step daughter who is 12 went out and got a tattoo at a friends house. Now of course because of her age she didn't have a car to be taken away but her phone and laptop were most definitely confiscated. Kids are still going to go get tattoos at tattoo parties without being of legal age. But whether OP is 18 or not it doesn't matter, parents house equals parents rules. And I'm sure that if OP isn't 18 yet, daddy did buy that car for her which does entitle him to take it away if he sees fit. I am not just saying this because I am a mother but as a child/teenager, when I lived under my parents roof those were the rules for me and they will be that way with my children now. So for future reference OP, don't be so quick and sneaky to make decisions that stick with you for life, you never know what consequences will be waiting for you. YDI.

it's only a tattoo ffs, and more importantly it's your body not your dad's, so you do whatever you want with it and he can **** OFF

My dad is just like this. He told me if I ever get a tattoo he's going to take me out into the backyard and turn the garden hose on me until the tattoo comes off. I'm 23. ...On the other hand, he's 68. Old enough to be my grandpa. lol.

Something to look into: I worked at a costume warehouse one year and saw in the makeup section makeup that was good for covering tattoos. Why not cover it in makeup until you get your car back? And where is the tat? I have one on my upper arm where it is easily concealed.

How about this - when you're not entirely dependent upon your father for your shelter, car, and probably everything else, THEN you can ink yourself up like a ***** despite his objections.
