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

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

Tats are pretty sweeet... Plus if it's YOUR car, then he can't do anything, except be a dick.

i have a tattoo and my dad was opposed to me getting one (and i was only 17, my mom signed & paid for me to get it) when he found out he wasn't happy, but it's not like i got it somewhere in which he could easily say it. if my dad had paid for my car (which in this scenario is 98.9% the case), i would say even if he found out now (and i'm 21), that he'd have every right in which to take away my car. my mom bought my car for me when i was 16, and if i did something that pissed her off, and she wanted to take it away from me, which she did, i'd say that was entirely her right. even if she did it today, 5 years later.

If the op maintains the car it doesn't matter if the father bought it. it would be THEIR car. when you buy someone a present you don't have the right to take it back because you dislike their life choices. also if the op is old enough to drive then they're probably old enough to make this kind of decision. people saying the father was right have clearly never had to put up with this kind of dictator in yor home. my message to parents; use the expression 'my house my rules' carefully because you'll push your children out of the house and have noone to blame but yourself.

Legally a car belongs to whoever's name it is in. If the title has her father's name on it, it is not her car.

I'm well aware of that,but usually when buying a car for someone else you would put it in their name. And regardless of the legal position it was just spiteful behaviour on the fathers part.

if the father bought the car it is HIS no matter if he gave it to his daughter or not. he maintains the right to take it away, the car is a privilege not a right. my dad took my truck from me plenty of times and both of our names were on the title. it belonged to him because i still lived under his roof and rules. no matter what you live with your parents, you have no real rights to any of your things unless you bought them yourself period. and you are right, the child can leave if he/she wants but, how long will it be till they realize that they cannot stay gone for long. and for your "message to parents" i'm sure that most parents wouldn't mind too much if their rebellious teen who thought they were above the rule up and left.

Okay, listen. Having forced you into this world, parents have a certain responsibility to feed you and train you until you're ready for this world. However, they also have a responsibility to enforce values into you that are deemed acceptable by society. These values are free to be accepted or rejected once one has "fully" matured and entered adulthood. Until then, you be careful about breaking the rules of your parents' home(s) -- it's THEIR home, it's THEIR money. I imagine that if she has any legal claim to this car, she can sue him for it. Otherwise, she deserves it. If she's going to defy his rules and betray his confidence, then what right does she have to a gift of such magnitude? It's not like he took back an iPod. This is a car. If you ask me, this is very responsible parental behavior and, as a teacher, I fully support it. If a parent perceives that their child has a tendency to make bad decisions and defy rules, why allow them to continue operating a device that has the potential to end countless lives under these parameters? Props to OP's dad for giving a damn. Know what? For most of my life, my father was a voice in the phone receiver and my mother was a voice from a doorknob. I wish they would have taken this kind of interest in my upbringing and anybody who gets offended that the father uses this car as a tool for punishment is a spoiled, ungrateful punk.
