[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've known each other probably ten years, but only hung out one-on-one once (which was perfectly pleasant). Today her daughter turned 17 and after taking her to get her driver's license, she took her to get a tattoo that covers the entire shoulder blade. Jesus christ.[/quote]

LET'S ALL JUDGE THAT SHIT.[/quote]

That kid will never again be able to wear an evening gown, a swimsuit or a tank top without that huge ugly tattoo showing.  Her wedding pictures 10 years from now will have that tattoo...ugh.

I'm not a fan of making (mostly) irreversible life choices like tattoos before the age of 18, but I do take issue with the idea that &quot;she'll never be allowed to wear a bathing suit or gown.&quot; My shoulder tattoo is very visible in my wedding pictures, and I love the pictures, as do the rest of my family. The donors of the institution where I used to work never minded when I wore a sleeveless dress to our galas, and I did check with HR before buying a dress that would show it at those events.

Well I didn't actually say that she wouldn't be &quot;allowed&quot; to wear a bathing suit or a gown.  What I actually did say was that she would never be able to wear a formal gown or a bathing suit without that tattoo showing.  It's great that you love your tattoo, hopefully you will never regret it.  Hopefully this girl will forever love and never regret her tattoo.  Like you I am not a fan of making irreversible choices like tattoos before the age of 18 - especially a huge tattoo like the one that this girl got.[/quote]
PP you quoted, jumping back in to apologize for the misquote.  :oops: Sorry about that! It was the &quot;ugh&quot; about a tattoo in a weeding dress that ultimately got my hackles up: without knowing what the tattoo is, I personally wouldn't assume it was ugly. I agree with you that hopefully she won't regret this decision! I definitely know some people with tattoos they regret (all of whom were &gt;18 when they got them), though most tattooed folks I know--myself included--put a lot of thought into them and love them.
