[quote=Anonymous]My SIL has some tattoos. A year ago, she only had one medium tattoo on her lower back and a medium tattoo on the back of her calf. In the past year, she has made a lot of impulsive life decisions; quitting her well-paying job because she was unhappy, jumping from serious relationship to serious relationship with guys she did not know very well, trying to move abroad and moving to another city. In addition to these things, she has made a lot of changes to her physical appearance - dying her hair various bright colors, piercing her nose, and now she has suddenly drastically increased her tattoos. She has added about 3 large tattoos to her back, so her whole lower back is covered. She got her entire calf tattooed and is planning on getting the other tattooed in a week.

I don't have any tattoos but personally I don't really care about those that do. However, given my SIL's erratic year and emotional instability, I am concerned about her and wish she would slow down a bit. She is bipolar and already on medication and seeing someone. My MIL and husband are upset that she is getting more and more tattoos, especially in such a short time span. I know my SIL knows how they feel, but she does what she wants anyway. My MIL is so distraught about the tattoos that she has begged me to say something to my SIL. She thinks that maybe my SIL will listen to me. While we do have a good relationship, I don't think she would really listen to me, even though I am concerned about it in the context of everything else she has done. I also would not want to come off as telling her what to do, particularly as I am a couple years younger than she is. Given these circumstances, WWYD? Express concern, or say nothing?[/quote]
