Today, my mom tried to burn my arm with a hot spatula, all because I got a tattoo against her wishes. FML

*Your mother's logic* "How dare you get a permanent marking on your skin! Let me give you this other permanent marking to teach you a lesson!"

In some religions tattoos are serious business. Sometimes you have to make choices.others don't like. I know how you feel OP..

How old are you OP? If you're under 18, YDI.

If she's under 18 she deserves to be abused and burned with a hot spatula? Really?

If in the US, it's illegal to give a tattoo to a minor. Piercings are legal to give, but only with parental/guardian consent.

#18 it depends on the state. I got my first tattoo at 17 in a professional shop. It required parent signature and only certain shops in my town would be willing to do it

#18 It's not illegal in the Us to get tattoos under 18. In some states you must be 18 regardless of parent consent to get it done in a shop, but not all. I got my first one at 16 with my mom's consent.

If under 18, OP's mum gets YDI for thinking child abuse is an acceptable punishment. If over 18, mum still gets YDI for assaulting her adult child for doing something she doesn't aprove of.

18. Can you not read? Op is in canada. And no it is not illegal to tat someone under 18 with a parents permission.

#14 has a point though. If you're still a minor you should respect your parents rules, especially if they're still supporting you. If you're a grown-ass person though she needs to respect your freedom and understand that she doesn't own you anymore. Either way, you don't deserve to be burned. But underage and in trouble = YDI

I got my ears priced in Florida by myself at 10 what are you even saying "parental consent"

OP deserves to be abused for getting a tattoo? Please don't ever have children, #14, if you truly think that way. Underage or not, that's ******* domestic violence and assault.

Plot twist: OP's tattoo is a photorealistic burger on his arm.

If you got 'no ragrets' tattooed I understand your mom and can only ask you: not even one? If not, I hope your mother turns around eventually. Your body, your choices, OP. Don't let her get you down!

She should never have tried to hurt you, but looking at your username it looks like you're underage and have immaturity issues that your mother probably perceives better than you - thus why she'd think it a terrible idea for you to get a tattoo at this stage.

Yeah, assaulting her own child with a spatula speaks volumes to her ability to perceive what is best.

I'm just really curious as to how you can determine an age based on a username? Assumption only makes an ass out of you.

I think it's much more immature to assault someone for doing something to their own body that you don't want them to. Even if OP is underage (and there is nothing that indicates that, just that he lives there) there is no excuse for what she did. Would it be wrong for OP to be so blatantly disrespectful of his mom's house and rules? Absolutely. But it's not okay to assault and injure someone by burning them, no matter what she thinks. There are much more appropriate and mature ways to handle the situation

It may not be illegal to get an underage tattoo in some states, and yes, his mother overreacted, BUT according to the wording of the FML, OP disobeyed his mother, do you really think any reasonable parent would just let it slip by? No, no they wouldn't.

Sorry, the word there should be "decent" not "reasonable".

A reasonable parent wouldn't attempt to burn their kid either.

That's abuse or assault or assault and abuse. You are sitting here condoning that. I'm sorry but... What the actual **** is wrong with you?

Did you not read the part of the comment that says, "Yes, she overreacted"?

State? You mean territory, op is in canada. And you think it is acceptable to permanently burn your child for disobeying you? I really hope you never have kids.

"Overreacted" is an understatement. There is no BUT here. What OP's mother did is wrong. It doesn't matter how agregously he disobeyed her.

In no situation, is it okay to assault someone, let alone your child, with a hot spatula. There are much better ways of showing your disapproval/disappointment. On a side note, Ontario isn't a territory either. It's a province.

When I started getting into piercings and such, my mother told me that she'd rather me get a tattoo. I don't know why people freak out so much about things like piercings and tattoos. Its decoration, if you do it right, there's no problem. Besides, its not their body and if you're an adult, its none of their business.

If you knew she wouldn't of liked it why didn't you move out in the first place. Use your noodle OP.
