You need to have therapy so he learns the value of honesty, integrity and making life altering decisions. Y'all also need family therapy to recover bond of trust and mutual respect.

Dad did not question this, even though he knew he has a refrigerator in his college suite and gave him money. Kid went to a tattoo parlour (cheapest he could find because refrigerators are not that expensive) and got two tattoos that are horrible, beyond horrible. Worst tattoos ever. Kid knows I hate tattoos. We’ve had multiple conversations about them.
This was two weeks ago. I’m a mess. I can’t sleep or think of anything else other than what he did to his once perfect body. They are trashy and disgusting. I hate my son for doing this to himself and ME. I can’t function I’m so upset. I don’t know what to do. He says he won’t remove them. I don’t want to see my son when he comes home from spring break because I’m so angry and disappointed.

If OP was a cool and laid-back mom, he wouldn't have felt the need to fabricate the refrigerator story. Instead he lied and poor OP can't sleep, eat, function and is a total wreck, a shell of her formerly controlling, uptight self.

I want to say this with compassion. If you re-read what you wrote the vast majority of what you focused on was the tattoos, not the lying. I think people are just responding to what you highlighted in your own narrative.
