My mom loves to disagree with me.
16/f
My mother is a very confrontational person. I love her but she is. Well, just in the car we where talking and nearly everything I had to say she had the completely opposite view on.
For one, we talked about piercings and tattoos. I love both, well my mom is a different story. I was talking to her about what kind of body art I would want in the future and how I would also like to stretch my ears (aka gauges/plugs). She completely flipped and started telling me how if I get piercings and tattoos I won't get a job and be homeless. Also, that I should want to make myself look like a freak. Completely blowing it out of proportion. I was really offended by this because I love it and do play on getting it done to myself when I am eighteen and can without her permission. I told her I wouldn't let other people's opinion get to me because I like it and that's all that matters to me. She said well you should! And I don't agree with that at all. What do you think?
I think that body art has become more of a common thing and is more accepted.
She got me kind of upset. I don't want to make her not proud of me. She said when I am out of her house I can do whatever the hell I want but she will still have the same opinion and so will I.

Your mom means well--and she's right. It is very difficult to get a job with visible tattoos and piercings. You may think body art is becoming more accepted, but the truth is it's not.
In a heartbeat, I hire the hardworking, qualified employee over the hardworking, qualified employee with earlobes stretched so wide I could stick my fist through them.
It's he'll out there for those looking for jobs. You need every advantage you can get.
A certain level of professionalism is required in the workplace. Unless you plan on being a tattoo artist the rest of your life, don't do it. Plain and simple. You may feel like your opinion is the only one that matters to you, and that's perfectly fine...if you're a multi-billionaire and you live alone on an island.

look im a teenager to i personally think you should respect your mom and do what she says while you are under her roof but think about it it is your life not hers you can do whatever you want when you are out of her care

Ha ha ha, typical teenager. Don't be offended that your mom doesn't approve of tattoo's no mom does, my cousins mom is very overprotective she got a tattoo a really tiny heart on her hand her mom almsot murdered her. For adults they see anyone with a tattoo is satin just compromise with her, tell her what it means to you, ask her about limits and tell her you'll get pretty ones, not ugly scary demonic ones. Tell her that if she really loves you she would stand by your choice no matter what.
Good Luck! Get back to me, I sure hope it works out and don't worry, moms always disagree!

All mothers are very confrontational when it comes to body piercing and tatooing its just one of those things they feel strongly about because they dont want there child to be poked with needles and stuff so dont take it to heart eventually she will be able to understand and accept it i would just start of with one either the tatoo or piercing and let your mom just get use to the idea and then move on to getting the other one done but ya all moms are like that so no need to fight to much about this because its just a part of there nature.
