When I told my mom years ago that I was getting a half sleep among many other tattoos.. She wasn't too happy about it. But once I turned 18, she straight out told me that it's my decision, and that I'm old enough.

But I guess it still made her disappointed/uncomfortable.. so I told her that I'd make sure to get them in places that could easily be covered for work. AKA I don't mind wearing a button down, cardigan or sweater for the rest of my working life. I'm working on a half sleeve, I have two on each side of my collarbone, one on my back.. etc.. I have 16 ear piercings and my tongue done (which I use a retainer for when I work).. and honestly, it's really your decision. You don't want to get something that you might regret, especially placement. So think about what you might want to do in the future, and decide if the placement you want is going to be a fit.

Otherwise, once you're of age, it's not really up to your mom.
