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 should've been "hey, yo! all my tattoos have a story! this one is for my dead homie. this one is for my homie in jail!", and stuff like that just to humor them.

If you are not arrested, that doesn't necessarily mean you are not in a gang...

20 years ago the only people who had tattoos were convicts, sailors and truck drivers. Where did we go wrong?

Are you suggesting that everyone who gets arrested is in a gang?

Just because you've never been arrested doesn't mean you aren't affiliated. YDI for being so thick.

Sounds a bit drastic to me but I guess you won't have anything to worry about.

Not ever being arrested doesn't mean you are not in a gang.
