I'm thinking about getting a tattoo, not totally convinced though. i don't just want to have a tattoo for the sake of having one, i want it to be meaningful. so i have a couple options right now, but i'm just wondering, what is your view on tattoos, and do you have any?
although i am independant for 7 months of the year (i'm in university)...my mom is one of those ultra-conservative christians that would crap herself if she found out i had a tattoo - that is probably the only thing really holding me back. i wish something that is a personal decision wouldn't get in the way of one of the most important relationship one has - but i'm concerned that it might. so yeh, me living at home for the summer months would make it so that she might find out about it and be choked. however, i'm thinking of putting it on my upper back, and i don't take my shirt off around my mom, that i know of...so yeh, not sure if she'd find out or what. (yeh, almost 21 years old and still living under the rules of my mom )
These poll choices are r****ded. I don't have one so I should pick "no" but I also don't know whether or not I'd get one so I should put the last option. The option "No" doesn't make sense.
that's pretty insane. i'm thinking of something pretty small and simple - or maybe two small and simple tattoos.
Take one that says: "do you want a Ride Ride" or "Cdah" seriously, i would never get a tatoo, i do not like it, and also i would not like it if my girlfriend has one. But if you want one you should have one, explain it to your Mother why you want one, she might be conservative, but if you explain it o her, she might understand, If not then it is a difficult question. because if you do not do it, how much will you not do to please your parents? At some point you will have to make decisions for your own, and not let your parents decide. but you should also think if this is importent enough for you to get into a fight with your mother over. But if you really want one you should get one. p.s. do not take one and try to hide it from her, if she finds out she will be pissed and rightfully so. Just be honest most parent appreciate that.
Well, you wanted "meaningful"...what better tattoo to express you are breaking away from the expected thoughts and patterns put forth in front of your mundane life then to state you are The Becoming of the Red Dragon...
yeh, the last thing i want it to result in is a fight with my mom...but in my mind there should be absolutely no reason for her to be mad with my decision for myself that really doesn't affect anybody but me and maybe my future spouse. but yeh, i still know that she would be mad no matter how i explain it to her - so it's something that i really need to think about.
yeh, that's the other thing i'm going to make sure to try and avoid. anything that i can't cover up easily.
I don't see what's wrong or un-Christian about getting a tattoo if you want one... For myself, though, I will never get one. It's just not the look I like. I prefer my skin the normal way. But others' mileage may vary.
I am getting one on my right bicep at some point in the next few months. I'm just trying to finalize the design before I do. I posted probably a couple years back that I was thinking about it then and I got pretty damn hammered by some on the board. Personally, I wouldn't want to be covered in them, but I like them in general.
That would be what I did/am doing, wouldn't it? "No" is a prerequisite for the last 3 options, so why have "No" in the first place? You understand what I'm saying, I hope.
