My theory was that is was less about being a neck tattoo and more about it being an incredibly lame tattoo on the neck. That artist was just trying to save her from announcing her basicness to the world

This is actually quite the interesting read. The introspection here is actually kind of amazing, as the author has managed to boil her problem with her son's tattoo down to (whether she is aware of it or not) down to it simply being a case of "He did a thing I told him not to, because he is an adult that can make his own decisions, and I don't like it because my opinion no longer matters".

I've read that before, and I still say gently caress that ignorant dumb lady. The best line in it is "I think you need to rethink your prejudices." That would make a great tattoo.

So I cry instead. I have a lump in my throat that stops me from eating. I feel as if someone has died. I keep thinking of his skin, his precious skin, inked like a pig carcass.

quote:

My husband asks, “Have you seen it yet?”

I shake my head. Like a child, I am hoping that if I keep my eyes tightly shut the whole thing will disappear.

“It’s his body,” he says gently. “His choice.”

“But what if he wants to be a lawyer?”

“A lawyer?”

“Or an accountant.”

He’ll be wearing a suit. No one will ever know. And he doesn’t want to be a lawyer. Or an accountant.

I know. I know.

This woman has PROBLEMS.

Also, notice how through the entire article she never even mentions what that tattoo actually IS. I'm sure its something very tasteful. She brings up several hypothetical situations, "What if you had a smiths CD stapled to your forehead for life?"

But... was his tattoo the smiths? If not, that doesn't loving apply, does it!

I seriously hate parents who act like their children are their property. Its a really pervasive attitude and its so hosed up. Especially when he's an adult!

I say, “You couldn’t have done anything to hurt me more.”

Not drugs or crime or having a bunch of children, no, the worst possible thing is THE TATTOO

That is seriously go-see-a-therapist levels of anger. If she's logically pulled apart her feelings on multiple levels over it, but is still that viscerally upset then it's time to talk to a professional about why she's so frightened over he child displaying some mild agency.

Especially considering her son seems very reasonable about the whole thing. He's not yelling at her "ITS MY BODY MAAAAM gently caress YOU". He just "hey, don't you think you're being kinda prejudiced about this?" and she can't handle it.

Her husband also seems very reasonable about the whole thing. She really does need help.

My grandma has always said she hates tattoos and to never get them. She's old school Catholic Mexican and associates them with gang bangers and cholos. Well, I went and got tattoos on my forearms. This wasn't an issue at first, as I made sure to wear long sleeves or fingerless long gloves when I saw her. Except eventually I got used to having the tattoos and just forgot to cover them one day. I went to her house to pick her up for a family reunion and she saw them and melted down in hysterical Mexican Catholic grandma fashion. There was a lot of yelling and anger and tears. When we got to the family reunion, I went to help her out of my mom's car and she turned away from me and refused to talk to me or acknowledge my presence. She kept doing that the entire day. I said goodbye to her when we left but she ignored me. I called her a child. My mom was watching my son for me that night and she says my son, who is 5, told my grandma that she was being mean and to stop being mad about my tattoos. He told her they were pretty. :3:

Anyhow, two weeks later it was mother's day. My grandma told my mom she wanted to see me. So I went but I was reluctant and guarded. She saw me and started crying again but said she was sorry for how she acted and that she hates them, but she loves me. She made me promise not to get anymore (haha yeah right) but told me I didn't have to cover them. Now she gets a little teary eyed when she notices them but for the most part she ignores them.

Well that's my story thanks for reading.

Accountants with tattoos? No way. Accountants are appallingly dull, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. No way they would get tattoos.

(I know the link's not a tattoo, but I think I have posted more than enough to get away with one Monty Python skit.)

Not having tattoos is an important qualification for being a manager at an Applebees or shift lead at Walmart. So naturally people who aspire to that level of employment assume that the same qualifications apply for actual professional positions.

Congratulations Grandma on dealing with stuff in an emotionally healthy way. We can only hope that other lady banged out her article while she was still sulking, and has since realized that the relationship is the most important thing and actually made up with her son.

Yeah, this. I don't work at Wallly World, but I do work in retail as a manager, and several of our managers/leaders have visible tattoos. I don't know if there are any tattoo restrictions for corporate positions, but the corporate dildos are always wearing long sleeves anyway, so it literally doesn't matter unless you're inked on your face/neck/hands, which is the reason most ethical artists won't tattoo those areas on someone who is not already heavily tattooed. I personally feel that tattoos should not be a factor in job eligibility at all, regardless of placement, unless they are offensive or could be perceived as offensive in some way, but that's just me. I've never understood why people care what others do with their own bodies so drat much, parents included. Is your relationship with your child less important than your personal opinion about tattoos? People need to chill out.

Is this the new thing? Like when people try real hard to not be able to read text in tattoos.

This is neither a cover up, nor does the person have eczema.

The white and grey is poo poo, sure, but it's trying to add depth and folds to the material (in a terrible way), but it's certainly not trying to cover anything

The 'eczema' is just what grey wash looks like immediately after getting tattooed, when you perforate the skin a million times it'll get red, irritated and inflamed, give it a few days for the initial trauma to fade and that'll become a smokey grey background.

Stop trying to find things to call out as terrible when the tattoo itself is poo poo enough to stand on it's own in the hall of shame.
