Why has my mom threatened me because of my potential tattoo?

I have the same problem. I am 18 and have always loved tattoos. I've been through some very difficult times and I want a positive tattoo to remind me of everything I have been through and to stay positive and keep moving forward. My mother despises tattoos. She thinks they are pointless, ugly, and all the billions of other things she says.

My mother likes to be in control and whether I am paying for it or am 18 doesn't matter to her. As long as I am under her roof I am not allowed to get one. She says she will disown me and take me out of the will.

My mother is a bit of an authoritarian type parent though - I'm not sure how your mother is.

If she is religious she may go with the idea that your body is perfect the way it is and god made you perfect the way you are.

Or if she is parent like many others she may not want you to grow up. The idea of you being old enough to get something permanent on your body can be scary for parents.

There are a bunch of reasons she could be like this.

My mom is very similar.

I have decided to wait a few more months and go get one anyways. I have always had an iffy relationship with my mother though and the way I look at it is she is my mother and should love me no matter what. If she is going to be that mad at me over something like a tattoo then I don't need her and I will move out or in with a friend. I love them and think they are beautiful and can be very important to a person.

I hope all goes well and best of luck to you!

First of all, ask her why she is against it. Then if she is still against it, then go pay for it yourself given that you are at a legal age and the tattoo artist would do it without a parental consent which is probably a sign that he is not a professional. Also tattoos are permanent. It should be an investment. Think of what it will look like in the future when you're looking for jobs.
