melle_chantilly My mom sent me two super long emails related to my tattoo at 4 in the morning. Obviously she was so sick with worry she couldn't sleep, poor her.
She's afraid I'm making a silly decision, that I will regret it and be miserable. She's afraid I'm ruining my life by branding myself as a different person. (this is the short version, lol, it was several pages)
I tried not to get angry, and to reassure her. It's not dangerous and it won't make me a different person. (also, arm tattoo, not forehead) I want to do it. Maybe I will come to regret it, who knows. But it means a lot to me to have it done.
She didn't mention the tired argument of “how will it look when you get old?”. I think we might be a generation with a lot of tattooed grannies. ^_^
Anyway, shower and I'm on my way!
