I’m so sorry you were treated this way. There’s simply no excuse for some of the name-calling and nasty comments.

It’s just ridiculous for OP to complain about vitriol given the hyperbolic title of the thread and her OTT reactions. If you’ve been on DCUM for 15 minutes you’ve probably been called a troll, a terrible parent, and some other insult (fat, dumb, whatever).

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?


Are you against tattoos or hippos or both?

So why are you, HER MOTHER, piling on with yet more body shaming? How about celebrating her choices? Keep your opinions to yourself, your daughter obviously knows them and decided to go a different way. If she's happy, you should be happy for her.


OP sounds horrible but not liking someone’s tattoo isn’t really body shaming

Posting about your disappointment about your dcs tattoo on a toxic website may not be body shaming, but it is something....


It can be a couple of things. If OP were just blowing off some smoke/venting here so that she can cool down and come back to her daughter feeling calmer, then that's a good use of the internet. If OP is here rallying support for cutting her daughter out of her life over of getting a Moo Deng tattoo, then that is a toxic use of DCUM. We don't really know which camp OP falls into here - but she did just throw a little tantrum over anyone pushing back, which suggests the latter.


We don’t know it was Moo Deng, just that it was a hippo. Not all hippos are Moo Deng, just as not all humans are you; refrain from assuming!

Ha! That's how my parents got me out of it, too. They told me they were thinking of getting matching rose tattoos on their ankles. I think it would be hilarious and kind of wonderful if they actually did it.

I work in a field where I'm the rare person who doesn't have any tattoos.

It is - why not show a little yourself. Jeez. May a hippo tattoo you don't approve of be the worst thing that ever happens in your life.
