Of course. First off, I am an adult so I can make my own decisions, mistakes or not. I would listen to their opinion but at the end of the day it's your decision and you can do what you want.

My mom made it clear to me that she disapproved of tattoos. So less than a week after my 18th birthday I got one.

Marilynjuana · Accepted Answer

Yep! Did it already! It's my body, I see it as art, I'm happy.

If you’re a grown ass adult it isn’t their damn business

yoganshB · Answer

Whatever rights i have i just know that my parents won't disagree with me on any opinion if it's right. If something's inappropriate for me then they'll surely tell me why. There's always a discussion such things. The last decision that's made is agreed by everyone. That's called family. I never took any decision that's opposed by my parents. Even if i did then they'll definitely understand why and agree later.

Moreover the choices i make are completely independent of everyone's opinion. My dad never says don't drink alcohol. But i know that's not good for my health so... his opinion is also accepted without a word and my choice is also clear.

It's just funny to watch some kids saying that they do whatever they want irrespective o their parent's opinion. They must know that their parents are the ones who took care of them since birth and they've far more experience than them. You cannot deny this. The intelligence you have now is a result of your parents. Their upbringing lead you to discover the world. If you think you are free and can deny every opinion of your parents then you're a fool. You can never repay the debt on you of your parents.
They never ask you to pay anything in return but it's their wish for you to use your intellect in better direction. Approve or not but always think twice before doing anything against them.

Regardless of whether "it's my body anyway", as long as I live under their roof, I abide by their rules. There is this thing called decency and respect and I have been educated to have those 2 qualities.

Once I have a place of my own, I do whatever I want and it is none of their concern anymore. But I also am not of their concern anymore either if I screw up my life. I wanted it that way and I must not go crying to them because I have nowhere to go, that I am broke or I have been otherwise abused. It is solely my fault and up to me to fix it, not up to them.

My dad didn’t approve of my tattoo. He was disappointed that I got one. My mom on the other hand didn’t care because I was over 18 and can make my own decisions but she said get it somewhere where it can be covered up. My dads family now calls me a rebel. My moms side thinks it’s cool I have a tattoo.

If you are of the age to walk into a tattoo parlor and LEGALLY get one - and pay for one - by yourself, then there is no reason why you shouldn't get a tattoo if you want one.

When I went to college, I got a tattoo. My parents didn't approve of tattoos, but because I was an adult and was paying for it myself, their disapproval didn't really matter.
{Now, they've grown used to my tattoo and love the artistry and meaning behind it.}

zaharaa · Answer

if I still lived with them and they said no then I would simply go and get it anyway 🤣

Exorcist_Rampage · Answer

I wouldn't want one to start with, so it is a moot point.

Lets say hypothetically I wasn't of my normal mind and claimed to want one, I'd probably not get one if others didn't like my family. Pleasing my family is important and tattoos isn't important enough to hurt my family over. I'm not with this attitude that I'll do what I want.

Allebana · Answer

At my age it doesn't really matter but I started getting pierced at 15 and my dad wasn't happy about it, he said I should have told him because he had a brand new set of fishing hooks with my name on it...

nocturnalnostalgia · Answer

If you're old enough. If you're like 13 and want to get a tattoo and your parents say nah, best listen, your older self will be glad you listened. But if you're like 17 or 18 then i would assume you're mature enough to not get a regrettable tattoo.

SpacedCharr · Answer

Yes, because why the fuck do I give a shit what my parents want? My body, my choice. Always.

fauchelevent · Answer

Of course. I'd be getting one for me, not to please someone else.

Yes because it's my body and I am an adult who can make my own decisions

Mexicoman101 · Answer

Yeah, sure. That wouldn’t happen though because growing up mine were never too keen on ‘no tattoos’. I just never wanted one.

13IsALuckyNumber · Answer

If you’re old enough to get a tattoo, you’re old enough to not need to get you’re parents approval.

hahahmm · Answer

If I live on my own, yes. If you live with your parents they can make your life he’ll anytime they wish to.

That said, be careful with tats. Lots of people will judge you or just not be interested in a relationship based on tats. It’s no joke.
