Nothing to do. Your daughter is an adult. Sorry!

I'm trying to determine the plumpest part of my body and that's where I imagine a hippo tattoo should go. Trying to decide between my butt and batwings. It's more meaningful that way.

Sometimes a hippo is just a hippo

Because she thinks she’s clever. She does not realize she’s exhausting to be around because of it, and when she wonders why she’s not invited anymore, this will be why.

I think you should just let your daughter live her life and get a tattoo if she wants to

I’m so happy for OP. Can you imagine what a wonderful charmed life someone must lead that the only thing they ever needed to tell their kid not to do was get a tattoo. And the most disappointing thing their kid ever did was get a tattoo.

What a wonderful happy carefree life you have OP. I love that for you.

did the one thing I always advised her never to do


OP, you are being controlling. Not appropriate for an adult. You should not have any control. She also should be financially independent from you, Is she? The two of you will never have near-equal mutual respect until she is.

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!


I'm sorry but what other hippo do you think a 20-something is getting this year as a tattoo


OP here. After reading this thread, I asked my daughter if the hippo is meant to be Moo Deng. She said that it’s not, and it represents adaptability, protectiveness, and survival. HOW DOES A HIPPO REPRESENT ADAPTABILITY, PROTECTIVENESS, AND SURVIVAL? But I am relieved that my daughter did not just get a tattoo of a meme.

If you spent five minutes reading you would know why a hippo represents adaptability, protectiveness, and survival.

OP has to be troll. No one can be this unhinged. Even in DCUMland


OP is definitely intense (and quite unpleasant tbh) but why DOES a hippo represent adaptability, protectiveness, and survival?

I happen to love hippos (I am not OPs daughter, pinky swear). So, hippos are known for having many adaptions that allow them to thrive in land and water. They are extremely protective, so much so that our cute little hippo is the deadliest land mammal. They kill about 500 people each year. That’s twice as many as lions! The survival piece is that they are a vulnerable species fighting to survive in the wild (or perhaps to OPs daughter the protectiveness and survival instinct are wrapped up together). Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.


That’s really interesting! Thanks for explaining!
