Answer 1

I know exactly how you feel. My mom is really conservative and she grew up that way. She used to shun body art because she says it mutilates the body. Lets just say that her and I do not have those same views. I started getting piercings when I was 15 [illegal, and I do not recommend you to do it] and she would get pissed and not talk to me for days. Eventually she gave up on being upset when I had a new one every six months, now she dosen't say anything when I get a new one and she still loves me and treats me the same. The same thing happened with tattoos. Of course I waited until I was old enough to get those and she was a little upset but like I said she got over it. There is a little saying that goes "everything in moderation." If you want a tattoo or a piercing and you are of age then get it but just make sure ahead of time that the career you decide to choose will allow you to sport tattoos. The piercings are not such a big deal because you can buy retainers. There is not really a way that you can get your mom to not freak because no matter what you do or say she will have her own actions but I say just get them and be proud of them and she will move on to other pressing issues.

Answer 2

My mom was the same way. I got my nose pierced when i turned 18 (the smallest stud EVER), and she freaked out. I got a tattoo a few years later and she hated it (and still does). The best thing to do is NOT to throw the "it's my body, i'm 18 i can do what i want" thing in her face. Chances are, you'll still be under her roof at 18, and she can make your life hell. Talk with her about it, explain WHY you want them.. and maybe start off with something small (and VERY meaningful). Then once you're out of the house, do whatever you want.

Good luck! Maybe show her all the research and stuff you're putting into it. No point in fighting about it though. She'll warm up to the idea sooner or later, hopefully.

Answer 3

You need to reconsider your career choices. Your mother is correct for no longer paying for your college if you insist on the tattoo. It would be a waste of money since the chances of you being employed are slim as an RN. You will also have to remove the jewelry from the pierced areas. Look for a career which allows you to express yourself and not waste your mother's money on college since you are having a difficult time understanding what it will take to be a professional. If you become an RN, you will see just how hideious tattoos look on older people as the body changes. Most regret what they did to their bodies when they were younger and especially when they find some of the things are responsible for their diseases later.

Answer 4

I think that when you are 18, it is legal, and your mom will just have to deal with it. Also, some work places are against tattoos, but shirts and such can cover them up. But in my opinion, I think as the years go on, tattoos will be more accepted at more and more places because they are becoming more popular, and even guys/girls in suits have them. For me, I would honestly hire someone on how they do the job and how they deal with people, and their personality. Not looks. I hate people who do. I think it's time people were more open minded to something as simple as a tattoo... We are in the 21st century. Get with the times people ;)

Answer 5

honestly this isn't something that you should be worrying about now because by the time you are able to get tattooed it won't matter if your mom freaks out or not because you will be an adult. i really don't care what my mom thinks about the decisions i make in my life. thankfully both of my parents are in favor of tattoos and they both have them as well but my mom thinks i have gone a bit overboard... but i'm an adult and her opinion of what i should or shouldn't do to my body does not factor into any part of my life.

Answer 6

Tattoos that are always visible are tacky but if you are really into them your mom cant really stop you. Odds are you wont be able to convince her to like them ever..I have two tattoos and my mom hates them but they are cute and in places easily covered so she dealt with them. Dont get all your tats at once though...get one at a time and put a lot of thought into them because they will be with you, as im sure you know, forever. Also make sure you go to a place thats clean and uses sterile needles and wait til youre 18! Oh and if you have you ask yourself "will people look at me strange if i get this tattoo?" or "will this hurt my chances of getting a professional job some day?" the answer is probably yes. If you dont care about either....your body is a canvas.

Answer 7

I have 27 tats and didn't get the first one until I was 44. Even then my mom was ticked off, she slapped me across the face and told me that I was certifiably crazy.

Why should you care if your mother likes them or not as long as you are legally old enough to get a tattoo and you like them? Why should you care if anybody likes them or not, as long as you do?

My husband has no tattoos, but he respects me for who I am and for my desire to wear body art.

My tattoos are not trashy. They remind me of who I am and who I was. I am well educated and have a professional job.

If you want them get them.

Answer 8

there is nothing you can do for her not to freak ... the idea that she knows you have & won't go away is enough for her to freak .. talk to her tell her how much u love her & ask her what she did that her mother did not aprove of and tell her that same feeling she had is what ur going thru .. trust me mom knows what she did behind grandma's back...

Answer 9

tell her your 18 and she cant tell you what to do any more..but she probly wont be to worried about it. my ma was freaking out when i told her i wanted to get one.. then when i did she was fine with it.. she knew there was nothing she could really do about it

Answer 10

You cant.
She is set against it for good reason.They look HORRIBLE and ugly when you get older and you WILL get older.
The Bible also says not to print any marks on your body.
