Today, I told a cashier I always bullshit with that I was getting a new tattoo. She shook her head and said, "Honey, don't get a tattoo. You'll look like a whore." I already have five. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a cashier sniffed at the money "you people" waste on tattoos. I have two full sleeve bamboo thickets to cover up old self-harm scars, but her criticism caused the self-hatred to come roaring back. Now it's a struggle to not fall back into those habits and damage that admittedly expensive artwork. FML
Today, I just had an argument with my father. He claimed that if a woman is covered in tattoos, it's quite clear that she's a whore. He said so in front of my girlfriend, who has tattoos all over her arms. FML
Today, I was struggling through small-talk at a party where I knew nobody. Tattoos came up and I started talking about trendy, girly tattoos like feathers, anchors and infinity signs with stupid words in them. Turns out the girl I was talking to had all three. FML
Today, despite my warnings and knowing I hate them, my wife got a trashy tattoo of an eye on her ankle, like she’s Count Olaf. How is she going to get a job with that thing? FML
Today, I realized that the "holla" tattoo I stupidly got on my lower lip five years ago isn't fading as I expected it to, and will probably contribute to my unemployment for years to come. FML
Today, I met my brother's girlfriend. We got talking, and we got onto the subject of tattoos. I said how much I hated tramp stamps, and how they make girls look trashy. She said, "Like this?" and showed me hers. FML
Today, a woman yelled at me for hurting her. I'm a tattoo artist. FML
Today, I got into trouble at work because a customer complained about my face tattoo, I don't have a face tattoo but I do have one behind my ear. Nonetheless, I still got written up and had to cover it with a band-aid, which ripped out hair when I took it off. 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 was talking to my tattoo artist about how my girlfriend broke up with me. She had also gotten her tattoos from him, so they had talked quite a bit. He told me she had been cheating on me with her ex for two and a half months. He didn't tell me because he didn't want to lose business. FML

having a tattoo does not make you a *****, get all the ink you want, just make sure you get something you'll want forever

That's ignorance at its best. Last I heard, selling sex made you a *****, not having tattoos.

So this simple means you are a *****! Maybe just tattoo it on your forehead to save time!

Tattoo on your ass, it'd be nice if you show me. Anyways what about people like Lil' Wayne, Tyga, Bow Wow, Soulja Boy etc.? They have tattoos all over their bodies! What's a word for them?

While the examples you listed could probably be called man-******, they're not exactly selling sex... but they certainly can't be called classy now, can they?! XD

Trash. But it has little to do with the tattoos. Next time try "Angelina Jolie"... She's got more class on one finger than everyone you listed combined. Even Megan Fox would work better as an example..

she's just jealous

It's amazing how many people just live in constant denial by repeating to themselves this stupid line each time in their life that they encounter an opinion different from their own. "She's just jealous"?! Do you really say something like that and believe it??

context where her comment should matter at all: if you got your tattoos for anyone but yourself. let's hope you didn't and forget about it, shall we?

Within MY lifetime, tattoos had been considered the exclusive domain of sailors and circus freaks. Society changes; it may well change again. Hopefully removal techniques will improve faster than they go back out of style.

Why do you give a **** what other people think? you like it then who cares

Well, then, I guess that cashier is wrong because if having tattoos makes u look like a ***** and they don't think you look like a ***** then maybe they don't make you look like a *****. Or is my logic off?

that's just her opinion. i see no fml here unless you're really that concerned of what others think of you which would be really sad.
