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.

He sounds awful. Bet he was controlling in other ways too. What a jerk.


How is that controlling? He had some rules and she violated them. He didn't stop her from mutilating her body. But there were consequences.


I loathe tatoos, but that was punitive and dumb on his part.


Why? She tried to lie and cover it up. Is inking your skin really that important? She could have just not done it but she did so she should have just owned it in the first place. Maybe if she had talked to him rationally things would have been different.


No, the father is a jerk. His adult daughter doesn't need to tell him anything considering how he reacts. She knew he would never react well.


Then she can't cry when there are consequences. If she wants a big girl tattoo, knowing her father's preferences, that's how the cookie crumbles.

OP here. Just because I personally don’t approve of my daughter’s choices doesn’t mean you have any right to say things that are misogynistic. F you, buddy! (And by the way: my daughter does not have a husband and isn’t interested in a “real man”; she is an out and proud lesbian).


OP you sound like a peach with absolutely no sense of humor or ability to read a room. No wonder your spawn got a tramp stamp. She’s running as far away from you as she can you miserable shrew


OP does seem very aggravating and difficult to get along with but you and the commenter she was responding to are both being blatantly misogynistic.


Right. But in all fairness, OP started it by creating this dumb thread.

Time catches up with us. If she's not heavy now, she likely will be in the near future, lol.


How did this conversation turn to OP’s daughter’s weight?

The tattoo is of a hippo


So maybe she just likes hippos? Doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with her weight


When you permanently mark your skin other people will notice and make judgments or draw conclusions. Attention seeking people with tattoos invite that.

I’m also not a fan of tattoos but there are so many worse things she could do. Like get one of those enormous nose rings or the earrings that stretch their earlobes out like a big donut hole. Or get a drug addiction. Or marry an abusive spouse. Tattoos are a minor irritation not a major disappointment.

Then it will be a wrinkled hippo with stretch marks. Will add to authenticity.

OP, if you had a tattoo, I'll bet your child would NEVER consider going down that same path.
My friend's mom was a serious 60s hippie. My friend turned out quite opposite, very appropriate for all occasions AND shaved her armpits. That detail was a source of much strife between hippie mother and convention seeking daughter.

Isn't that the irony?
