Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my mom tried to burn my arm with a hot spatula, all because I got a tattoo against her wishes. FML

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, 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.

I feel like you should give us more info, because I'm not sure whether or not I should be sympathizing.

What an idiot. Next time when you think something like that has happened, tell the servers and let them handle it.

What's the hype with tattoos anyway? I don't quite get it. You are probably going to get it removed in the future so why waste money on it now?

Wow, so many YDI votes. Guys, if the OP is showing it to their relatives, chances are this wasn't an "I got drunk and stupidly decided to get a tattoo" situation. This is something the OP got on their own free will. Maybe the relatives were laughing at just the idea of getting inked or of something permanently on you for the rest of your life. Also, I noticed a lot of judgmental comments here. WOW, guys. Just wow. This isn't the day and age where tattoos are considered 'taboo'. Tattoos are another form of art. I've got two of them so far and I'm very proud of them. I'm getting another one soon as a way of memorializing my husband on my arm. They're not a 'fad' or anything. That being said, you do need to carefully consider what you're going to get and do very careful research. Drunk idiots who decide to get stupid tattoos because they lost their brains real briefly give tattoo bearers a bad name. That doesn't mean everyone's like that. Chill the frick out.
