I could never get a tattoo because I'm the most indecisive person ever. I never got stickers at the dentist when I was little because I would never take them off and stick them anywhere because I couldn't handle the idea of them being permanently stuck somewhere [emoji23] that and I'm a wimp.
But, I'm weirdly sentimental and I really love tattoos that mean something. I've never understood the practice of getting tattoos just because. I feel like if I'm gonna permanently ink my body it dang sure better be special to me. And I respect tattoos more when they have meaning behind them, but that's just me.
Anyway, I have very southern, conservative, religious parents and neither of them think twice about people with tattoos, for what it's worth. As long as it's not any of the aforementioned bad types. And spell-checked. (I went to high school with a guy who got a long quote on his upper arm and they spelled afraid wrong...)
That's so funny about the stickers!!! I was the same way as a child... That might be why I didn't get a tattoo until I was 30 and then I was a bit hooked after that... And because I'm so indecisive and sentimental, every tattoo I've gotten has meant something to me.... whether a quote, my wedding rings with the engraving, my children's initials, my children's foot prints, flowers from my parents country, and so on. Every one special in its own way... now as for my own parents accepting my tattoo addiction lol yea not so much... they tolerate it but they don't "love" it lol... as for cheer parents, they've never had a problem, actually they loved when they got to see a new one depending what I was wear (example: one day I took my heavy sweater off, had a tank top underneath which I forgot had a low back, suddenly had parents whistling jokingly and then gasps of omg thats beautiful didn't even know u had that - it was my son and daughter's foot prints on my back with a latin inscription... after that day it was a guessing game of where's the other one, and guessing how many I had lol... all in fun!!) ;)
