Batshit insane woman describes, in depth, how her Sons tattoo 'ruins their relationship' - Polidicks

name of the author: Tess Morgan. that's also the name of a pornstar :D

Actually, for those of you that actually read it beginning to end, it was a rather good read. In between her sporadic fits of xenophobic insanity, she actually expounded very interestingly her thought process and presented some ([b]some[/b]) reasonable explanations for her aversion to tattooing. In fact, I have a new kind of respect for people who may strongly dislike the fact that I am covered in tattoos. Though extreme, her article was a raw and visceral justification for such aversions. I'm glad I read this.

Is this an orthodox Jewish family? That might explain it.

That fucking article just cranked melodramatic up to eleven. Holy shit, I almost feel bad for this person, for the sole reason that she is causing herself grief over practically nothing.

My parents couldn't wait to get me a tattoo. In fact on my 18th b-day they said "you're getting a tattoo! What do you want it to be?" with out even asking me if i wanted one.

She's really just upset over him growing up, and presumably away from her. She's projecting these feelings towards his choice to get inked, but it really could have been anything. Anything symbolic of him becoming his own person was going to trigger this.

[QUOTE=Snowmew;37196475]There are mothers right now being told their sons were killed halfway across the world and they will never see them again, and she's worried about what's probably a tiny tattoo on his arm, arguably the most "normal" place for what is now a totally acceptable and generally unoffensive body modification. She needs to get bent.[/QUOTE] I bet this somehow makes her love him less, judging by how insane the author detail of this article sounds so fucking dramatic for one tiny thing.

I didn't even see anything about what the tattoo even was. Was the design even mentioned?

What a stupid over-dramatic bitch, I hope for her son's sake he gets out of that house soon because that women is fucking ridiculous.

Scroobius Pip says it better than I can: "Image is nothing, imagination is everything. Is there anything you wear that's more important than what you think?"

I fucking hate whoever wrote this article. She is EXACTLY like my mother; sheltered, self-centred, entrenched in her own stupid, outdated views, intolerant, completely unwilling to accept that other people might have other views, and instead of actually saying what she thinks, she runs off like a coward so she can spend days thinking about how [I]terrible[/I] her life is and what a horrible, [I]horrible[/I] person her son is for doing such a [I]horrible[/I] thing to her. God I hate that woman.

[QUOTE=dcalde78;37199878]I didn't even see anything about what the tattoo even was. Was the design even mentioned?[/QUOTE] Nope.

I love how she never explains [I]why[/I] or [I]how[/I] or [I]what her justification is[/I] for being so upset. She just says "Oh, I've never been so hurt. This is horrible. How could he do such a thing?!"

Something about this just rubs me the wrong way, on top of all of the other silly crap pressed into this article: [quote]I am aware, too, that I associate tattoos on men with aggression, the kind of arrogant swagger that goes with vest tops, dogs on chains, broken beer glasses. Is this what other women feel?[/quote]

why is this sort of stuff even printed I mean even if it wasn't stupid at all, there's just no justification for writing 1700 words about your son getting a tattoo in a national newspaper. get a blog or something

[QUOTE=U.S.S.R;37196434]With the way she drones on, you'd think her husband had cheated on her or something.[/QUOTE] There is almost certainly something that happened or is happening to make her this irrationally nutty over such a trivial issue. Maybe the realization that she can no longer control or protect her son plus outside factors caused her to lose her shit recently.

reading this article actually makes me angry she needs to fuck off and get a grip

Jeez, lady. Kid realizes it's permanent, and it's not something like "I PARTY THE HARDEST" on his neck or anything, so the fact that you're reacting this way, whether you realize you are or not, is just sad.

If this is real then this probably would have happened at one point even if it wasn't a tattoo. Him moving out, him going out with a girl, anything showing independence. She is so broken up about it because she is losing control. And if a parent gets that fucked up over their child becoming independent then there is a problem (with the parent). I would understand a parent getting fussy about their kid getting a tattoo bit this person just cranked up the reaction to 11.

halfway through it really got too silly. so having a harmless tattoo is now the bane of all things, okay. my sister's coated in ink, most of it's colored.

She's acting as if her son just raped a thousand little girls and used their period blood to tattoo a swastika on himself. She really needs to take tips from her son and father to calm down a little.

uh. you do realise that she knows she's being unreasonable. she says so herself. she's not "what's wrong with this world", everyone's got shit like this.

Although I believe she goes overboard, I feel for the mother. He kept bringing it up, and she told him how she felt, that she really didn't want it, and that it would greatly upset her if he did it. He should have respected her feelings. I mean, maybe it's different, but if my parents didn't want me to get a tattoo, I wouldn't get one. Of course I don't want to because I'll have it for life, it's very painful, and I have very sensitive skin. I'll have it for life because I could not stand to go to laser removal, as many people agree that it's actually far more painful than getting the tattoo in the first place. All I'm saying is that he just shouldn't have gotten it. There are better alternatives that don't damage your skin and are temporary.

[quote]"You couldn't have done anything to hurt me more."[/quote] What the fucking hell? Three days? If my mother did that to me I'd probably be bashing her head repeatedly into the stove or something. Tell me what hurts worse now, bitch. LOLJK (please refer to the facial expression on my avatar) JOJ!

I remember when I got my first tattoo back in August of '11. My mom was upset, thought I did it out of impulse. Then I explained to her the meaning behind the tattoo and why I wanted it, and she backed off. As long as there is a meaning, or reason, I see no problem in tattoos. If out of drunken impulse, I'd be pretty pissed at my child.

She sounds like General Jack Ripper from Dr. Strangelove with his bodily fluids speech.

this just makes me appreciate my own mum.

And melodramatic ramblings like this are why there are stereotypes for women letting emotions ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL over logic. EDIT: Oh, also. [QUOTE=zacht_180;37206096]What the fucking hell?

oh yeah i mean men never let their emotions assume direct control over logic what gender is the pope again?

I cannot even begin to comprehend how over-dramatic, and unnecessary this is. I swear to god, she has to be to soccer moms what Fred Phelps is to WBC. It's a fucking tattoo and it's really not a big fucking deal. I remember a time when I felt similarly, then I reached the age of fucking 16.
