[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter (25) went and did the one thing I always advised her never to do: get a tattoo. It’s of a hippopotamus and is really ugly. I just can’t understand why someone would get a tattoo of a hippo! I’ll admit it’s well-done but this is just disappointing. I’ve always said, ever since she was a little girl, that tattoos are a bad idea. She said that “she wanted to do it for a long time” and “it has nothing to do with me” but I somehow doubt that. I just am SO disappointed. Ugh. What’s a mom to do?[/quote]

My parents' one and only rule, NO tattoos.  This was a non negotiable.  One of my sisters got a "tramp" stamp while in college and she admittedly was absolutely stoned out of her mind when she got it.  One day she was helping rinse off my parent's patio before a family barbecue bent over and Dad saw it, ugh he was beyond angry.  Having lost family in the Holocaust who obviously had tattooed numbers on them was a sacred thing to him and my mother.  They did nothing then, but she was cut out of the will when my dad died.

I'm a (jewish) sister, and if my dad cut my sibling out of the will, I'd absolutely give that sibling half of what he gave me. He'd be dead, and presumably my sibling and I would have decades on earth together. I don't have tattoos and don't plan on getting any, but know people who absolutely LOVE them and stand by their decision to get them even decades after getting them. No reason to let Nazis from the 1940's steal something that brings people happiness. Think of it as taking art back. [/quote]

My great aunt had a tattoo from a concentration camp.  She refused to have it removed or covered up. [/quote]
