Today, my girlfriend's parents took pictures of my tattoos to make sure I'm "not affiliated with any gangs." I have never even been arrested. FML

Today, my girlfriend's dad refused to give me permission to marry his daughter because I'm "covered in gang tattoos" and he doesn't want his daughter marrying a criminal. The only tattoos I have are the Game of Thrones direwolf and a quote from the Lord of the Rings movies. FML
Today, I was looking at tattoos and fell in love with a really cool looking one, so I decided to get it. I later showed it to a friend who is a cop. He informed me that it is a gang tattoo. I think I just put a target on my ankle. 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
Today, my mother threatened to disown me if I didn't break up with my tattooed girlfriend. FML
Today, I'm a police officer who had the honor of arresting my girlfriend of 3 months for prostitution. All of my coworkers at the station know her and won't stop giving me judging looks. FML
Today, my sister and I look enough alike she was able to steal my ID to go and get a tattoo at 15 years-old. Our mom is furious and also blames me, as though I willingly let her use my ID. FML
Today, my girlfriend's overprotective parents decided that I'm a bad influence on their daughter. I'm a straight A engineering student who openly speaks out against drugs, alcohol, and discrimination. Their reason? Someone told them I dyed my hair black. They think I'm a "closet Nazi". FML
Today, I met a girl I used to make fun of in high school. She was taking my fingerprints after I was arrested. FML
Today, I finally met my daughter's boyfriend. He has a face tattoo. FML
Today, my fiancé freaked when he noticed the tattoo on my wrist, and demanded to know when I got it. It was two years before we even started dating. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

'even been arrested?' you make it sound like being arrested is a normal thing.

You don't have to be arrested to be in a gang!

Tattoos still have meaning behind them. If yours are questionable, I don't blame a parent for being concerned about who their daughter is dating. God forbid they love her enough to care! **Gangs are a huge problem where I live! Watching "Gang Wars" has helped me learn more about it!

Do you know how many gangs are NOTHING like you see on gang wars? Source: Tupac Shakur

I would do the same if I had a little girl, if I would even let her date a guy with a lot of tattoos. I agree with #28

If you're referencing another post, please do so on the same thread so we don't have to search through the whole page to know what you're talking about.

Perhaps next time a " my little pony tattoo" will raise less suspicion .

You can be in a gang and not have been arrested, OP. But the picture taking thing is really creepy.

We do lots of illegal things as human beings on a daily basis. Alot of us just dont get caught.

Being with a gang doesn't always mean you've been to jail, nor does having tattoos mean either.

Then nothing to worry about right? Just saying.
