I am 23 years old, but still living at home. I have been dating a guy for a few months that I absolutely adore. Only downfall is he has tattoos, not just a few but both arms completely covered (sleeves). I have no problem with this however my parents do. I haven't had him over to meet my parents simply because of that reason and they have already told me "he is not going to meet extended family, that's embarrassing to bring around them, he can't go on family vacations" etc... I am not asking them to accept or like the tattoos, that is their opinion. I'm just looking for some advice on how I can allow them to look beyond that and see them how i do, a respectful man who treats me right. Any advice please! (link)

You need to show your family how much he cares about you...how well he treats you and that he's a good man for you. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks and believe me, your parents are probably well aware, whether they want to admit it or not, that in the end you're going to be with whom ever you chose whether they approve of it or not.
Still though, they love and take care of you, it's probably not right to openly disrespect them. They mean well, they're just not giving him a chance. Give your parents a chance and ask them to do the same. Be tactfully frank with them but also let them know how much you value their love and care.
If things still aren't smooth after awhile, just remember that MOST parents, irregardless, just want their children to be happy.
Hope I helped!
