how old is she exactly? If you're snorting at the idea of her having the money to pay for it, she's too young. If you're CONSIDERING paying for it you should pay for her to get another nose grafted to the side of her neck so that you can sponsor something else she'll regret in two years.
also every time I bring up with my mom that I want a tattoo she tells me this "cautionary tale" of her good friend who got a dolphin on her ankle and later regretted it
I'm like "uh no shit" but my mom thinks that all animal tattoos are alike I guess

my parents were all "you're going to regret getting a tattoo" before i got it
but now they both really like it.
it represents my family though
i'm a firm believer that if it's not of some significance to me, it's going to run the risk of me getting bored of it
but since mine means a lot to me, it has become just another part of my body
like... i don't regret having a left foot
i don't regret having my tattoo.

My mom's sole experience with tattoos is her two friends going to get tattoos with out her, one getting a dolphin on her ankle and the other getting a butterfly tramp stamp and, surprise surprise, they both ended up regretting it. So my mom is basically sure that I'm going to regret it.
For my dad, tattoos are the bricks that pave the road to a heroine addiction and male porn, so I'd honestly probably hide it from him forever or something.
But I definitely want my tattoos to be of significance. Not so that I can justify them to other people, because I kinda get tired of explaining what tattoos "mean" - it's personal, I don't expect other people to get it. Some of my tattoo ideas I can't even really articulate why they mean so much to me - they just do and I want to have them become a permanent part of my appearance. I don't really understand getting tattoos just for the aesthetics of it, although tattoos should be beautiful.
I'm going to take this opportunity to link my maybe hopefully one-day tattoo artist who is absolutely incredible and I think Usagi showed her to me?: http://www.amandawachobtattoo.com/
also beavo what do you have now as far as tattoos go? |
