How Do I Convince My Girlfriend To Wait A Few Months To Get Another Tattoo?
My girlfriend loves getting tattoos. Whenever she has enough money she gets one. Her parents don’t like them at all and get wicked pissed when she gets them. She just got done with her first semester at college and did bad (0.5 GPA), and still hasn’t told her parents. I know they’re going to freak because her family is really into academics (fathers a professor at an ivy league school, brother graduated from one of the best universities in the world).
I’m fine with her getting tattoos, and told her I’d go with her when she got it. I just don’t think now is the right time. If she waited until she got on better terms with her parents I think it would be a better. She already made an appointment but it’s not for week. Is there anyway I could get her to hold off on getting her tattoo for a little longer?
Also, she’s getting a half sleeve but all the good artists at the shop were book for a couple of months, so isn’t even getting it from a well experienced artist.

Aha!!! Tats are addictive! I love them myself and my son has just finished his apprenticeship and is now tattooing.
Seems to me there is something else going on besides her wanting to get tattoos. She is an adult now and can make her own decisions, right? She is obviously smart, but it seems to me she might be rebelling against society, and by extension, her parents also. Obviously, she has no plans to follow *at this time* in her parents footsteps. She is feeling the need to forge her own path and make her own mark in the world. It appears to me that she is hoping her parents will notice the tattoos (HER) and initiate conversation about her life and dreams.
And that is what my son said to me when he turned down acceptance into the Art Institute in Chicago to take up a tattoo apprenticeship. He said he can always go back to college later. He’s right.
Your job now is to show her that she doesn’t need to rebell against her parents, without being critical or judgmental towards her. Encourage her to talk to her parents about her desires for or against college. Offer to be there when this conversation takes place. Basically you will be a buffer between her and her parents. Do you accept the challenge?!

Ill only let a truly good artist stick a needle in my skin, my last has a 2/3 year waiting list.
But at the end of the day its up to her and there really isnt telling some people.

Sounds like you have a brain but she doesn’t.
All I can say is the more tattoos you have the harder it is to get a job! Tell, her to knock it off until she knows that it will not affect her job situation. Unless her dreams are to be with a circus.

she has a .5 gpa so i wouldn’t count on her to have much foresight. Frankly i’d say it is her choice although, if i was her i would want to wait for a good aritst. Other then this one small fact i’d just stay out of it

Why not get her a job with a circus freakshow.
