You thought childbirth was fun? Girl, those 18 hours of labor were the easy part.

Here’s what happens when your 18-year old daughter doesn’t TECHNICALLY need your permission to do anything.




Tattoo #3.




God help me.


(I'm over here. If anyone cares or has extra time on their hands. )

  5. It's on her side.

  6. I can't think that far ahead. I can only handle right now.

  7. Thank God everything is spelled correctly, she's a teacher's kid for crying out loud.

    Peace ~ Rene

  8. Hope she still likes it when she's 60 years old.

    I do love the saying but think I would rather hang it on the wall than on my body.

    Kids these days...

  9. Oy.

    Is it as enormous as it looks?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Oh, it's just a phase ... in a permanent ink kinda way.
    Mine has a big dog print on belly, you know, the part that grows first when you are pregnant. (snicker, snicker)
    Do they skip stretch marks in sex ed?

    ReplyDelete
  11. I want to see that again (in several years) when she's pregnant!

    ReplyDelete
  12. When she gets older and puts on a little weight it will only get bigger. That just means that she won't need those reading glasses to see it. Good for her. That's thinking ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh.My.Gawsh. She has no clue what that will look like after having kids or better yet when her skin starts to wrinkle and sag.....

    ReplyDelete
  14. My good friend, Mr. James William Buffett has a song entitled "A Permanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling."

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh my... she may regret that if she expands like I did when I had my babies. But for now, it's nice. Take a valium, VM, and another in the morning.

    ReplyDelete
  16. What? Where are the happy faces and roses? I have one of those 18 year old girls who no longer needs my permission. Then when I remind her of the financial aspect of her life (like wtf do you think pays for everything else to sustain you?)!!!!!

    When she's a Shar pei (sp?) like me, ony one line will show... which one?

    Take two valium...

  17. Dear Lord!

    How does that serenity prayer go again?

    ReplyDelete
  18. wow.
    Glad you are taking it all in stride.
    yeah... that's all I have to say.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Beats what my friends daughter just put on her FOREARM, but even bigger--

    ILLINOIS--Motherfucker.

    can you imagine?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Her side? Hpfp. OK I am ready to see the other two now. Plus, you have given me SOMETHING to realize my newly turned 18 year old son has not done. Ack. Give him time...

    ReplyDelete
  21. Whew! Like the others said I hope she likes it after she puts on a few pounds or has a baby. Live for the moment, and regret for a lifetime. That's how I think of tatoos.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I should take a picture of Dani's 15 piercings. No tattooes though.

    ReplyDelete
  23. My son, on the other hand, has 2 tats.... one is really big.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I agree with Paige ILLINOIS--Motherfucker.....Is unimaginable in large black block lettering so I guess you got lucky or Not!!!! Makes me rethink getting a tattoo.

  25. Oh yeah! and my niece, the attorney, has a tattoo of a roach on her hip. It also happens to be her last name. :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I am trying to let go for you and I cant.

    Oh, and Sprite's Keeper? LOL

    xo can't wait to give you a huge hug soon.

    ReplyDelete
  27. My daughters are 19 and 20. I'll have to post pix of their tatts for ya.
    The 20 y.o. has FIVE!
    The 19 y.o. has TWO!

    [rolling eyes & shaking head]

    Your BFF!
    =-)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I shudder to think what my daughter will do at that age. Yikes.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I 'like' it and it horrifies me all at the same time. Could be so much worse... but could be lots better too... Like a little I 'heart' Mom on some place that can be entirely covered up. :-) Still sober? Good for you!

    ReplyDelete
  30. We have an understanding with our over 18-year olds. If you have the money to spend on tattoos you must not need ours for living expenses.

    We did give the okay for our son to get ONE tattoo on his arm (design, size, etc. pre-approved by us). So we're not TOTAL hard-asses. Just mostly!

    As tattoos go, hers is not bad looking at all :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I wish I had the balls to get a tattoo or the decisiveness to decide upon something I like enough to have on my body for the rest of my life. I can't even decide what to have for lunch some days. lol

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh dear lady, it's not ugly and you really can be thankful for that right now. Seriously, it is shocking when you had no warning for it I know, but it is not ugly or gruesome....seen my Rocker Sons pics recently?

    I found out about my son's first tat while grocery shopping from another mom...and he was underage!! oy!

    God help us!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I know a 22 y.o. who had "Love forgives all..." tatted just under her collarbone, 3 weeks before she'd be wearing a strapless dress as maid-of-honor in her sister's wedding.

    Let's just say the bride didn't take the message to heart. lol!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Sigh.

    My son has tats. They were shocking. No warning. I get it. Totally. It's a generational thing.
    I looked at him and said, "I did not birth you that way!!!"
    Bah!!

    Oh Lord. The memory.
    BUT....over the years I've grown to understand the meanings behind what he had done. To him, they are important. To me, they just make me squirm.

    Of course, when he walks his own 6-year-old now to kindergarten class, it's not so "cool" anymore....

    Again I say...sigh.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow! That's big. Is she nuts? I was little once. Then I had five babies. That would some stretched out screwed up foreign thing now. Hope she gets lucky.

    ReplyDelete
  36. WHOAH...now that was not very clever of her...

    I feel for you.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I just don't get the whole tattoo thing. To each his own I guess.

    My sister-in-laws (all 3) are getting their first tats & they are all between 50-60 years old. Grown nephews & nieces all have them & keep adding them. *sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  38. I do wish she's happy with it
    - when (if) pregnant
    - after pregnancy because your body's not the same after that
    - asked to be a model but not with that
    - when she's 30, 40...
    I could go on but not worth it - it's done...
    I wish she's happy with her tattoo rest of her life...

    ReplyDelete
  39. I plan on doing what a friend of mine did with his kids. No tattoos until you no longer require financial support from me. This kept his kids from getting them. At least until they got out of college....

    At least it's a nice looking tattoo and it's not on her neck or somewhere visible that might keep her from getting a job somewhere...

    Sorry she surprised you with it though.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh, my Lord!
    Try and remember why you love her.

    ReplyDelete
  41. My kid has several . . . I don't even know how many anymore. I finally asked him to quit showing me.

    And the piercings - good lord, the piercings. Again, don't even want to know how many. Or where.

    *shudder*

    *sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  42. maybe you should remind her that the best things come in SMALL packages? She does have guts tho!

    ReplyDelete
  43. The 19 year old is making "want a tattoo" noises. I used to want one so I understand, but since she has zero capacity to bear pain, I'm thinking this too shall pass.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Oh, sorry, but maybe her daughter will laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  45. All three of my grown kids have tatt's! I gave up years ago. My son is covered in them so I "try" to look at them as art! I struggle while trying, but what else are you going to do?

    Take care, Sue

    ReplyDelete
  46. Oh no she di-int!!!!

    My hard and fast rule to my darling son is "You will NOT put graffiti on the body that I made!!" Let's just hope he listens when he's over 18. :(

    ReplyDelete
  47. I've wanted a tattoo forever, but I'm still afraid of the wrath of my mother at 37 years old. No kidding.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Wish I could comment but I DO have my own tattoo. However, in my defense I did wait until I was 45 :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hmmmmm. Well, at least there are no misspelled words. That's always a bummer.

    ReplyDelete
  50. someone should collect images of really old people with tatoos and do a "this is your tattoo today, this is your tattoo when you are old and shrivled" I bet the industry would dry up over night ;)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Reason number 4,569 that I don't have kids.

    ReplyDelete
  52. wait.... what?? is that on her torso??????? whaaaa????? like on her stomach?? shut up. please clarify.

    ohmygod. shut up.

    ReplyDelete
  53. whew. ish.

    hahahahhaaaa!!! that would have been hilariouser!! can you imagine!!!???!!! on her stomach!!!

    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAAA!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Oh yeah- While we were gone on a trip our son, got "High Society" tattooed on his butt, then proceeded to show it to everybody at the Thanksgiving dinner table- Gma included! Thank God she had a good sense of humor.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Oh my word! I bet when my sons are older they'll be getting much worse ones. Thanks for reminding me of the horrors of later life!! xx

    ReplyDelete
  56. It could be worse! Everything is spelled correctly...

    ReplyDelete
  57. I just dropped by to see if she is still alive....

    ReplyDelete
  58. Whoa, that is, um, hard to miss.

    Did it hurt to get???

    jj

    ReplyDelete
  59. My jaw did drop. I echo some others, that I hope she likes it when there's stretch marks. However, I am contemplating getting one, just not that big and maybe in a place you can't see even when my swimsuit is on. Of course, I am planning to do it when I turn 40, so I think I have had some time to think about it....

    ReplyDelete
  60. At least it's spelled correctly. I can't say anything since I have a few tats myself...but if it makes you feel better, one of my precious darlings (19) now sports lip piercings beneath his beard.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I've seen worse (we all have, right?) but damn. Hate to see a kid brand themselves. They have no idea how much morphing goes on over the years, mind and body.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I hate it when kids think tattoos are cool. When they're 55 years old they are SO going to regret it.

    ReplyDelete
  63. 明知道他有婚姻,筱蝶還是陷進去了
    他告訴筱蝶,不是不願意離婚
    只是孩子還小,他不忍心孩子這麼小就面臨父母離婚的難題
    他告訴筱蝶,他有多麼愛她
    他多想馬上離婚光明正大和她在一起
    他告訴筱蝶,她值得更好的人,但是他捨不得放手
    只要給他兩年時間,他就會馬上離婚
    多麼動聽的話,為了他的承諾,筱蝶甘心傻等
    一心等對方離婚、一心想要成為他的太太
    然而當兩年的時間過去了
    男人還是沒有離婚
    他淡淡的對筱蝶說:我配不上妳,所以我要放妳自由!

  64. Regret's gonna be a bitch. A painful, tattoo-removing bitch.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Oh my! That's...large but it could be worse...seriously...my niece decided to get a picture of a turd ( that's what it looks like anyway - honestly it's hideous) that says s.h.i.t. happens. Isn't that great! I'm sure she'll love that for the rest of her life. Wth?

    ReplyDelete
  66. oh,my ga!!

    did you hear my screams from over here??????

    ReplyDelete
  67. look what anonymous wants your daughter to tatoo next!

    ReplyDelete
  68. "Live for today
    Hope for tomorrow"...

    ...and hope that you won't regret getting THAT tattoo.

    ReplyDelete
  69. As soon as my sister and I started getting tattoos my parents both went out and started getting them. At least it's spelled right :)

    ReplyDelete
  70. When my son said he wanted a tattoo, my husband said, great, let's get it done together.
    My son has no tattoos.. neither does the husband. phew!

    My daughter on the other hand .. surprised me with a tiny delicate girly little flower on her ankle.

    Personally, I hate tattoos.. most likely some deep seated memory of childhood and scary men with words written on their bodies or faces or biceps.
    ( lest someone wonder where in the world did that poor child live ... I lived in San Diego, near the Marine base.. yeah, Marines.. my first words were jar head :)

  71. If you google Really old people with Tattos, you get an image like this ...

  72. I had a friend in college who got a black rose tattooed on her breast.

    Then she had a baby.

    And, ohhhhhhhh, that was one sad and wilted rose afterwards!

    ReplyDelete
  73. oh! I would DIE. Just DIE!!!! My fake daughter got a tattoo across her chest that says "faire L'amour" which, in case you forgot high school french, is "make love". And it's all in that ghetto cursive crap. WHY!?!?!! what happened to the little butterflies and stars on the ankle??

  74. 男人有了外遇,但是他不想離婚
    外遇情人面前,他可以享受著年輕戀愛般的美好
    在回歸家庭時刻,他可以享受著老婆對他無微不至的照顧
    在同事朋友面前,他可以享受著眾人對他的忌妒與羨慕
    男人有了外遇,但是他不想離婚,他只想自私的擁有一切

Come on people, make me laugh. I dare ya.
