Wow, this thread certainly got WAY more responses than I thought it would get. I also never thought it would bring out such passionate opinions. I'm the only one in my family that has tattoos (I have 2). I have always been the black sheep of my family (HA!) but I march to the beat of a different drummer and my family has accepted me the way I am, tattoos and all. I guess I'm lucky in that no matter what I do, they still love me. Thank you everyone for your replies! It was very interesting to read all these responses. :D
