To be a tad (understatement of the century) upset that DD1 has come home with a massive................

[lucyellensmum]

Tattoo on her neck!! Not a nice removable henna tattoo or transfer, not something pretty and descrete - oh no, not my DD, she has to go that one step further - a stonking great black/grey rose (her own design) that is noticable from across the street!!

OMG

good god, what a shock. How old is she?

What age is she??

blooody helll

suppose it is her body though

but I would be upset as well

Her body, and boy will she be sorry. Presume it is permanent ?

Poor you.

tell me its not permanent?

Oh poor you. Is she young?

I really, really hope she doesn't regret it.
Your neck is a really obvious place.

She is a teen.

How old do you have to be to have a tattoo ?

oh dear! how old is she

why do we do these things when we are young what twist of nature makes us think its such a great idea

How old is she?

i think she will regret it

I know it is her body and I assume she is over 18, but I would be so upset as well. I feared my mother's disapproval so much, I never dared!

I remember my mum's response when I finally showed her my tattoo (on the arm). She was disgusted and dissapointed. I hated her for it. Now I think she was probably right.

OMG? On her neck? How old is she?

I think it depends on her age and also how long she's wanted one... God, I do hope it wasn't a spur of the moment (I think not, given she's designed it herself?)

I don't think tatoos have all the negative conotations they once had, but LOTS of people still regret them..........

And, I'm guessing getting rid of one on your neck (should she ever want to) won't be the easiest thing in the world......

Overall, none......... I don't think you are being unreasonable at all.... I am 36 and my mother would still freak out!!!!!!!!

18 to get a tattoo

oh no

how old is she? I think you should have to be 21 to get a tattoo. I know that probably is unreasonable but I stand by it. People under 21 shouldn't be making decisions they can't unmake. Well most of them shouldn't anyway.

How old is she?
If she's 8, YANBU.
If she's 18 YAB a little bit U

So she's 16, according to your profile. Isn't that illegal?

What does she say about it ?

Presume she knows that you will be bouncing because of it, was it rebellion, talked into by a bf,et al.

'Thought thsat licenced tattooists had to work on people over 128?

Can you have a quite word with your doc and see what chance they could take it off?

If she is 16, as per your profile, I would be very very upset. Heck, I would still be upset if she was 18 and older...

I don't care what my children do to their bodies as long as it is not permanent. Piercings can be taken out, tatoos are a whole different ballgame

Thats 18, obviously

128 myoasmum?
