They are wise and sensible and loving parents. They want what is best for you and, in this case, they certainly know what is best for you. If you get a tattoo you will regret it for the rest of your life. You will never regret not getting a tattoo.

Tattoos are UGLY. And they are unfeminine. If you get a tattoo no decent man will ever want to have anything to do with you.

Tattoos are evil. They are a desecration of the human person. If you get a tattoo you would be treating yourself like an animal or less than an animal.

Who have tattoos? Criminals, drug addicts, prostitutes, and losers who want to publicly proclaim that they have degenerated into savagery and barbarism. Why would you want to associate yourself with such people?

Please, my dear child, have enough respect for yourself that you will resolve to never never never get a tattoo.

with wanting a tattoo or having one! If it is something you feel strongly about doing then don’t listen to what other people think. I have one tattoo so far and have plans for more in the future. Here is my advice, take it or leave it:

Put careful consideration into the design, after all it will be permanent. After you settle on something print a copy and put it somewhere you can see it everyday. If after six months you still like it then it is fair to consider putting it on your body permanently.

Choose a location wisely. Mine is on my side so you can only see it when I’m in a swimsuit. If down the road you want something more visible then go for it, but it doesn’t hurt to start conservatively!

Pick something very meaningful, the tattoos I think most people regret are the hearts and butterflies they picked off the poster at the tattoo parlor. Choose something unique. Many tattoo artists love to design tattoos, tell them what you’re thinking and see if they can draw something for you. My tattoo is an abstract dragon, I chose it after a really difficult period in my life and it reminds me everyday that I am strong and can get through anything.I spent two years selecting and designing this tattoo and not a day goes by that I regret it.

Yes, some tattoos are ugly but many of them are beautiful art. What better canvas than yourself, you can carry your art with you daily! They are not evil & getting one does not mean you don’t respect yourself. I know so many wonderful, creative and amazing people with body art. People who are so completely against them are discriminating and close minded (and I try not to judge these people as much as I expect them not to judge me). Just because tattoos could be associated with certain types of people does not mean tattoos label you as that type of a person. They don’t have to like them but that doesn’t mean you can’t!

I hope that getting a tattoo is a great journey for you and that you end up with something you LOVE. My parents were not partial to tattoos but my sister and I both have some now – my mom has even told me that she thinks mine is beautiful! It might end up that your parents like it after they see what you’ve chosen. And if they don’t like it you’ll have to be ready to accept that. Here’s some beautiful art I found to share with you -

I’m planning a peacock feather for myself in the future – so beautiful!

It never hurts to look up and research the symbolism of things as well – you might find something that really represents your values or goals.

Again, I wish you all the best. If you ever have questions about tattooing in the future I’m here to help!

Getting a tattoo can be a great experience, especially if you get something that has meaning for you. My mother was against me getting a tattoo, but when I got my first one at the age of 26, she saw that I got something tasteful that meant something to me and she loved it. Now every time she sees it she tells me how lovely she thinks it is.

I also have a relationship with my mother where she will love me no matter what I do with my life. She knows that I’m an adult, and at this point, all of my choices are my own, especially when it comes to my body. Perhaps your relationship with your parents is a bit more strict, or perhaps you are much younger than I am…I know that if I would have gotten a tattoo before I was a stable adult living on my own, my mother would have thought I was acting irresponsibly. With how I was in my late teens/early twenties, she would have been right!

None of my tattooed friends have ever lost a relationship with family over a tattoo, and even if there was tension, it didn’t last for very long. After all, tattoos are just outward artistic expressions of our inner selves. It seems that everyone realizes eventually that it’s your body, and what marks go on it are your choice.

A long-term temporary tattoo is a great idea if you (or your parents) are not quite ready for the real deal. Good luck with your decision!
