What do girls' parents think about tattoos?

I'm in sciences, I get 80's and 90's in my courses, I have never touched drugs and I've never smoked, and I have a tattoo on my bicep. It's not big, it's a simple RHCP band logo and I could cover it up if I want to.

If I wear a short sleeve and my tattoo is semi-exposed, do you think a girlfriend's parents will care? Or will they look past the ink and accept me for who I am?

Any guys in the same situation?

Girls, what would your parents think?

    As someone who has eight tats, my answer may be biased but I don't think your girlfriend's parents will care. These days tats are so common that it's really not a big deal. Plus, it's only one and it's not like you're covered in ink so I wouldn't sweat it. My mom isn't thrilled about my eight tats but at 28 years of age I'm quite sure that I'm old enough to make decisions for myself. My in-laws believe it or not, are more accepting of my tats, but considering that you can't see most of them when I'm fully clothed, it really isn't a big deal. However, if I'm wearing a bikini that's a different story! ;-)

    I think in today's day and age, tattoos are not a big deal -- to a certain extent.

    If you have gang tats on your neck or face, that will more than likely be a bad thing,lol.

    Chances are the parents of the gal you're dating will also have tattoos, so don't worry about it!! It's not a big deal...and by the way, the fact that you care so much about this shows how much of a good person you are and I would love it if my daughter brought home a gem such as yourself.

    good luck

    I don't think they would. Do you know if they have any tats? My dad has one and said he only wants me to date guys who have one haha

    You should realize that everyone's parents are different, and will have different opinions... I hope.
