LOLZ awesome good for you. I hate when parents act like you should be a spitting image of their morals, likes/ dislikes, personality, what they value, their lifestyle etc. They build the foundation but its our choice whether to agree with everything they spit in our direction.

I love tattoos, so do my parents! lol My mom never got one because she was born diabetic, just couldn't work out back then.

I haven't gotten one done yet though. I guess I'm really trying to design what I want still. I've always been inspired by the absolute magnitude of beauty a tattoo can have. It's a form of art and I love art. The pain of it seems to be a part of the experience in that art too. ^_~ Once I get one, I'll have a better story to tell.

My mom got one when she divorced my dad after 25 years of marriage. It's the kanji for 'bitch' and it made her feel empowered and all that jazz. It was her first tattoo. I also purchased my dad's first professional tattoo while I was in college. He had one before that, an eagle he did with Indian ink when he was 10. Needless to say, my tattooing was never a problem with my parents.

Back on topic, my first tattoo was of a scorpion (I'm a scorpio). It's on my shoulder. Since then I've gotten rather large pieces done on my forearms (an Amy Brown piece and a Stargate influenced Anubis) and I'm considering getting a sleeve. I have 8 tattoos total and I know I'm not done.

I am 18 and I got my first last year... my mom hated the idea but I have been wanting one since I bought my first tattoo magazine by accident when I was 11 or 12. After six years, my mom stopped caring so... I have a skeleton key on my back, a memorial tattoo for my dad who died of a heart attack when I was 5. She cried when she saw it, not because she was upset but because she was happy that I carried my memorial to him on my skin... Now my mom wants one...

hmm well I got my first one when I was 16 ( of a caffeine molecule) after school. I hid it pretty well from my mother ( she used to hate them but now wants one of her own.) but then I ended up in the hospital at 17 and she saw all of them (no hiding in a hospital gown).
