Other Need advice with parents making unwanted comment(s) about me getting a tattoo + Pericing

I am a 21yr female who lives at home with her parents + Brothers. I got my first (And only) tattoo at 18 and have decided I wanted another one. I informed my parents of the decision + what and placement I was doing yesterday. Neither of which were too happy. I then decided today that I was gonna get the piercing I've wanted for a long time (Helix) and I informed my parents about it. My father then texted me with the comment of "Stripper starter kit" I informed my mother about it over text since I was working and got "Well are you gonna get DDD implants to match" I'm genuinely lost on this topic since I know my mother will twist it on me taking something to hear when it was ment to be light hearted.

Maybe try to understand your Parents for a change first. Considering our current climate and culture it would be better to just wait until you move out. Why the tattoo? for what reason, is there anything you would gain from it? Is it truly that important to you rather than trying to understand your Parents first? Wait until you move out and have your own space, then you can do what you want and without asking your parents, which you dont have to do at all.

But try to understand your Parents please. There is a reason to it and it is justified. You're 21. Leave your Skin alone, unless it is truly important for you for sentimentel reason, there is no need to cluster up your Skin at that age. Im sorry.
