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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 OP, its a risk that you were willing to take obviously. I got a tattoo while still under my parents roof also against their wishes, I got one inside my bottom lip hoping to satisfy them that it wasnt visible but I still had one, so I was content. I got my car/cell taken away for a day and then they realized they couldn't really do anything about it. :) Just takes some time to break your parents in.

How do you get to work without a car? Maybe you don't need it.

If he paid for the car, and since he pays for the roof over your head, he had every right to do that. Don't like it? Move out and pay your own damn bills. If you want the privileges of being an adult like getting a tattoo, you have to take the responsibilities that come with it.

Like OMG! your dad is so uncool! First, the dick buys you a car, gives you a roof over your head and then says you cant get a totally awesome scar on your body that you for sure will never regret getting later in life. And then he takes the car away when you don't listen to him!! HOW DARE HE! I say call the cops, this is serious child abuse...

I disagree with some of the posters here saying that getting a tattoo will automatically ruin your job prospects. It really depends more on whether the tattoo is visible or not in work clothes. If it's going to be hidden all the time when the OP's working then what's the problem? It's not like his/her employer is going conduct a strip search for any tattoos XD. However the wording of the FML and username (tattooooooface) implies that the OP is still dependent on his/her parents and got a tattoo on the face so...YDI, hard.

I totally agree. In fact if you want to wrap burritos at Freebirds I think you are required to have tattoos, the more conspicuous the better. It also doesn't hurt to be able to fit your fingers through your ear lobes.

I still live at home with my parent, but I work, pay all my own bills, including college and car. All you people who are saying parents have the right to control you just because you live with them need to look at all sides. Parents should only have the right to control you if they are going to be responsible for everything in your life, if my parents paid for my car and college than I would follow their no tattoo rule, but since I pay for all my stuff and am legally an adult than my parents have to get over my tattoos. And tattoos dont really stop you from getting jobs unless they are gang related or on your face. I have two, one on my back and half of my left arm done and that didnt stop me from getting work as a graphic designer.

I have to agree... the older you get it's more of a tenant/landlord situation... and parent's are (and should be) more stict about the rules of renting then a regular landlord... especially if the kid isn't paying rent or working. No guys over, no tatoos, no drinking, ect... Welcome to the real world.

I think in the OP's case it was on the face (based on the username) >_> .

It's ink, not a lobotomy. Your dad should love you no matter what. Piercings, tattoos, and unusual hair colours shouldn't matter. He can still give you consequences, but I don't see what the big deal is if its your choice

Who says the dad doesn't love her? He's being a responsible parent and trying to teach her rules and consequences. She obviously knew he didn't approve of tatoos. Does that mean she didn't love him because she "went behind his back" to get inked?
