Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff

Disapproving
Today, I flew home to visit my parents. We haven't seen each other in two years, I've gotten a few tattoos done since, and I knew they wouldn't approve, so I bought whole new outfits that covered everything and looked professional. When I got there, the first thing my mom says to me is, "Is that a nose ring!?" FML

Today, my brother saw my side when my shirt came up, and asked when I got a tattoo; the pink he saw was in fact my stretch marks. Worst of all, I had to show them to everyone to prove I didn't actually get a tattoo. FML
Entitled parents suck.
Overreaching
Today, my mother threatened to disown me if I didn't break up with my tattooed girlfriend. FML

Economic abuse
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, my girlfriend had a bitch fit at me because I laughed at her idea of getting the Cullen family tree tattooed on her back. FML

Today, I showed my new tattoo to my friends. It's supposed to be a deep, philosophical quote in Latin, symbolizing strength and resilience. My friend, who happens to be fluent in Latin, started laughing hysterically. Turns out, it actually says, "You are dumb." FML

Unless its a poorly drawn or ridiculously stupid tattoo, don't worry about it since its your skin and you have made the decision to ink it up, you kinda have to be above criticism.

At least it's not permanent...

Although now I need to know what it was of.. 300 character limit and OP couldn't include that bit of information? I can't vote until I know... The fact that OP left it out seems suspicious, but I'll give him/her the benefit of a doubt.. For now.

Doesnt that... make you a sociopath...? [Dilbert: the key to happiness]

I need more information before I decide anything. Op needs to comment. ASAP.

Judging by the sheer quantity of body art being either stupid, badly done, misspelled, mistranslated, or any combination... I'm voting YDI contingent on what I've seen.

I'm pretty sure they didn't include what the tattoo was because they know many people would probably view it as stupid. So I'm gonna have to say YDI on this one.

What was the tatoo of? And where was it???

I doubt OP is talking about a rub-on tattoo.

Yes 24, my brain was detached when I wrote that comment. It needed to be cleaned. Also, *his

It's your body and if you like it that's all that matters. Though this reaction does make me question how much thought you put into it
LovesSushi 25
I was just thinking that. Were they drunk when they got it, or was it something they drew themselves? I really hope they respond and tell us.
not_a_robot 15
I personally don't care what it is as long as it is meaningful and/or just really really cool. If OP likes it I really don't see what the problem is.

We'll when your mom is passed off at you... Just wip the tattoo out and make her laugh.

Sorry, but.. well,* pissed* and whip*

Next time, think about your tattoo a little longer before getting it, or at least get some outside advice.

You don't even know what OP has tattooed.

#21, true, but what we do know is that from two people close to OP, the tattoo got what's framed as an unwanted reaction.
curlstar 6
It isn't necessarily an unwanted reaction. It could just be inspiration for a FML. It wouldn't work if OP included the part about the tattoo being a well-placed cat's backside on his/her stomach, for example.

Someone I know got a tramp stamp (lower back) of two dolphins diving out of the water in a sunset and touching noses... The sun bellow the dolphins looks like a Penis. It's a very over weight guy that has the tattoo.... It's a constant conversation starter.

That's a really cool tattoo though. :)
Bibliovore 26
#29, one could argue that there is no such thing as a well-placed tattoo of a cat's backside, on one's stomach or elsewhere. ;)

I have lots of tattoos and while I've never had any laughed at, even if I did I wouldn't care. I get my tattoos for myself not for other people. As long as you're happy with it that's all that matters. If you aren't then you can always get it covered up! I just got a cover up on my shoulder blade yesterday!
Hamz1989 13
Don't worry OP you can always get it removed by laser if your not happy with it, but I'm sure it looks great.

That's a long, very expensive, painful process that leaves a scar. Not quite as easy as one would hope.

What rubbish?! You showed a tattoo to your folks and they burst out laughing. Where's the punch? Unless you revealed what the tattoo was abt.
