Really? I got my only visible tattoo nearly 2 years ago and they still don't know. It's quite a hassle to not bend over carelessly around them and to watch what I wear but they still don't know. I'd rather them not know for a few more years... maybe when I'm married and am officially independent I'll tell them (right now I think they still consider me a child at 22, how sad).Originally Posted by berylayn
Ari -- My parents found out too quickly about my tattoos. I wasn't planning on telling them because I knew they'd be dissapointed. But my mom found out anyways. it was a BIG deal for awhile. But its pretty much settled now.
Why do you think they are gross? Some of the tattoo artists I've met make very beautiful art work.Originally Posted by Ilovecats
No tattoos for me, thanks. They're painful, and gross. I have my ears pierced, one hole on each ear.
I know the feeling, Ari.. I'm 23 and my father treats me like a child... thats why I'm working so hard to get a job and get a place of my own... I can't deal with him telling me what to do... but at least all you're hiding from them is a couple of tattoos... I'm hiding someone that I love very much... Even tho Adri and I arent really together I still have to hide my friendship and when we do finally get together I dont know how I'm gonna tell my father... I know his reaction and it's gonna be just as bad as it has been... grr... it sucks!Originally Posted by pinkdaisy226

Aw! That's harsh... but maybe your father's reaction will be better? My father never liked my ex-boyfriend and I feared him meeting my new (and current) boyfriend. But my dad actually likes Dillon and I'm not scared anymore! Either way I hope it works out for you!Originally Posted by Malakai711

Let's put it this way... if he kicked me out of my house after meeting Adrian for 5 mins... and threatened to kill the both of us is he caught us together... I dont think he's gonna be too thrilled when he finds out that I'm in love with him...Originally Posted by pinkdaisy226

Thanx, Ari... I've been dealing with it for 6 months... I'll manage... I feel bad for Adrian, tho because he blames himself for all of my problems... he just doesnt understand why I dont blame him... In a way, I thank him... I guess that sounds wierd...Originally Posted by pinkdaisy226
Yeah maybe not Liza. Sorry hun... I'll pray for the best!
