Oof. But good turn to take the thread in.. Kev and @CultExciter, yeah, there's a lot of weird double standardy treatment when it comes to this. My step siblings all have a couple little tattoos and they're the first to come running up to me and announcing it and showing it off and being all pumped, but then if I happen to, say, be wearing shorts and a tank top I get a lot of negative reactions and raised eyebrows from them.
"Wow, I never realized how many tatts you have..."
"When are you gonna... stop?"
"Does it feel weird to have so many?"
In conclusion.. when it comes to family relationships and tattoos, the only one that matters to me is the family of me and my wife. Everyone else can cram it.
