DH and I, are definitely on the quirky side. We both got tattoos on our heads. Very similar, but mine is the female version and his is the male version. My mum never knew I was getting it done, tbh at 29 I wouldn't have said I needed her approval. I have my MIL blaming me and claiming that I have influenced her son into it. Friends claim that it looks ridiculous! All I want to know is WIBU? Surely as family and friends you don't have to just be damn right spiteful about a choice I have made, I mean it isn't illegal/hurting anyone. Grrr.

I can't believe anyone finds those "adorable". They're bloody awful.

TheOliveTree547 · 22/06/2016 21:58

Oh yeah GrinGrin at the gotten

I have lots of tattoos!! Love them, they didn't actually hurt bad at all!

Awful.

But hey, it's your head.

OnionKnight · 22/06/2016 21:59

Ah okay, maybe I was a bit too harsh initially, as others have said you both seem to be able to pull them off so your body, your choice.

LolaStarr · 22/06/2016 21:59

KC225 the majority of people who get tattoos get them because they like them, not because it makes them look cool or edgy.

OP it's your body and if you like them who gives a toss what anyone else thinks! (FWIW I think they're cute Smile)

Crunchymum · 22/06/2016 21:59

Fucking ugly -IMO-- but nothing at all to do with your MIL.

BolshierAryaStark · 22/06/2016 22:00

Not my type of tattoo but clearly it's yours so tell both mums you are adults & that it is non of their fucking business.

BigbyWolf · 22/06/2016 22:03

I like them Smile

Tartsamazeballs · 22/06/2016 22:04

Are you an alkaline trio fan at all? Your tats are awesome!

Sparkletastic · 22/06/2016 22:04

They are fab. And I'm a fogey generally.

RainyDaisy · 22/06/2016 22:04

I hate all tattoos. DH wants one but I vetoed it. I mean I really, really hate tattoos. And on your head?!?

Having said all that...I think your matching His'n'Her tattoos with wedding rings and vows are stunningly beautiful, original and incredibly sweet and romantic! I love them!!! OMG don't tell my DH or he will want us both to get them.

blimeyalldecentnamesaregone · 22/06/2016 22:04

I must admit I'm with your friends...

But the world would be boring if we all thought the same.

Wouldn't be too impressed if my son (as an adult) came home with that either though to be honest.

OnionKnight · 22/06/2016 22:06

Rainy its up to your husband as to whether he gets a tattoo or not.

charliedontsurf · 22/06/2016 22:08

Agree with tarts, they are a bit alkaline trio! They're cute OP. I guess you knew that most of mn wouldn't agree though? Grin

Don't worry about MIL, I'm sure she'll get over it. Can't understand people getting upset about tattoos, it's not like he's tattooed 'cunt' across his face is it?

Tummyclutter · 22/06/2016 22:08

I think they are awful and look like a child has done them!
But you like them, and they mean something to you, so my opinion doesn't matter anyway.,, and neither do your respective parents.
Your body, your choice.
Would love to fast forward 50 years and see what it looks like through your thinning haired blue rinse bubble perm Grin

Grin they made me smile and I'm not a tattoo fan usually. Your heads, your choice.

TheOliveTree547 · 22/06/2016 22:10

I actually wasn't sure what MN would think Grin I'm surprised so many like them Grin

Whatever floats your boat.

I imagine that in 50 years you'll have already dissolved in a pool of your own bile judging by your spiteful comments.

Well done & thanks for showing them. They're not my cup of tea but I'm not sure an head tattoo would be! Good health to enjoy them :)

Cocolepew · 22/06/2016 22:13

Love them.
How can you veto your DH getting a tattoo on his body? Hmm

seagreengirl · 22/06/2016 22:14

I hate them, sorry, and if I was your MIL I'd...

mind my own business because it's your head!!

blackbirdmilkshake · 22/06/2016 22:15

OP you're sooo cool and alternative!

Bigfam · 22/06/2016 22:15

I like them too. Dd (7) would definitely love yours especially, the skull is identical to the one from monster high (dolls) Grin
