Just assume I have no idea what's going on.

| | | My Dad isn't much of a talker, but I think he accepts body modification with the "it's your body" mentality--as long as I don't come home with twenty facial piercings and several visible tattoos, he probably won't have a problem. My mom, on the other hand, does not understand body modification, but isn't extremely strict about it. I got my industrial after I turned 18 without telling her I was going to do it, and when I got home she just said, "That's kind of big, don't you think?" However, when I mentioned possibly getting my labret done, she gave the whole, "But your face is so pretty without all that crap in it!" argument and seemed upset. As far as tattoos, she's one of those people who worry about whether or not you'll still like it when you're older. For example, when my friend got a pretty but rather flash-like tattoo of leaves on a whim because "everyone was doing it," my Mom basically said she was a dumbass (which she was for doing that). But when my boyfriend got his father's initials in script designed by myself and him on the back of his neck after his dad died, she liked it. I have a feeling that when I get my first tattoo, she'll initially be pissed, but will eventually accept it and might even become interested enough to come and see me get the next.
