The great part about tattoos is you can get one whenever (if u got tha money). So if getting a tattoo now would force you to do it behind your mother's back, why not just wait a bit? You can always get it later. A few years back I knew what I wanted to get as a tattoo. I begged my parents for it (I was underage) and they asked me to wait a year. So I did, and by the time that year had passed I didn't want that tattoo anymore. Kind of a cliche' story, I'm aware, but it's totes a real thing. Just sit on the idea for now and think about it. Maybe not wait a year, but maybe a coupla months just to make sure?

.if you are an adult ink your body till the cows come home , who gives a dam , no one but you ......But......if you are under the age of 18 ...you will regret that tatt for the rest of your life....you will forever be hiding it so she wont see it....youll be self concious of it knowing you went behind her back....because you know in your heart your mother loves you and only wants the best for you, and believe me when i say if you get tgat behind her back it eill forever change your relationship with her. You will always feel shamed ,like you did something bad,and even if she never finds out about the tatt, she will always know something in your relationship with her is wrong, like its missing something...like honesty...and say she did find out....she would never trust you compleatly again, there will always be that hint of doubt. A shadow of dissapointment. And when you have grown and have kids of your own you will know exactly what i mean.

I kind of disagree with the other answers. If you thought very carefully about what you want to have tattooed and more importantly WHERE it should hopefully be something that you'll always be proud of. The other important factor is to make sure you find an extremely good artist.
I have 3 tattoos, the first one I got behind my mother's back. It was in a discreet place so she didn't see it for a long time. When she found out about it she smacked me on the back of the head, but admitted that she liked it. When I got my second tattoo I decided to show her what I had gotten and she FREAKED OUT. This one is much more visible because it's on my wrist, so she was worried people would judge me and I'd never get a job. Literally the next day I was offered a job. When I got the third, I didn't tell her, but my brother found out about it and told her anyway. By then she just accepted it and hasn't brought it up since.
It really depends on what your mom is like. It won't necessarily change your relationship completely. At some point she'll have to accept that you are an individual with your own interests and have enough faith in you to let you make your own choices.

It's your body, do whatever you like. Unless you're a minor then don't just yet. Haha

My mom totally hates tattoos and she has made it very clear but as soon as I turned 18, I got one. I now have four and there's nothing she can really say about it, it's already on my body right? But if you are an adult, you should do whatever it is you want to do with yourself!
