So...you've all heard the stories about the FILs. (By this I mean FH's entire family, not counting his dad and brother...the extended ones are kinda wacky too)
And yesterday I posted about how his aunt deliberately spilled the beans about my shower date. (b!tch.)
Well.
No one in his family knows about my tattoos, aside from his brother and a few younger cousins.
I think they've caught a glimpse at the one on my arm, but definitely not the one on my calf.
Originally, I was going to keep my tats under wraps for the shower. (I also didn't think my shower would be so late in the game...apparently my PJ tour screwed things up? LOL)
It's going to be warm this weekend (and SUNNY for all of our brides!!!)
Shall I expose the tat by wearing a sundress, thus giving them a silent middle finger?
They'll see it at some point anyway.
Did I mention that his mother told me the other day that she expected me to live with her for a week after we're married so I can 'learn how to be a good wife'? (I said 'I don't think so, Tim' like Al from Tool Time LOL)
Vote for Pedro!

I say eff them and show them, they are a part of who you are and why should you hide who you are.
It would be a different story if his family showed any ounce of respect for you then I would say keep them under wraps

Show them off! Not even for them, but because it's part of you and who cares if they don't accept you as is, FH does and that's all that matters! The silent F-U to them is just the icing on the cake!!!

Did you really say I don't think so, Tim??
A love silent middle fingers. I'd say do it, BUT do you think it would make things worse? The fam will talk about it and might give you a harder time one way or another...
ETA: If you really don't care about their reactions, then just do it!
ITA!

Re: A poll re: my tattoos and the FILs.
they r a part of who u are, and u shouldn't have to hide from ANYBODY esp family! So eff them and show them off! How did u even get away with them not seeing them yet??
Also, how to be a good wife? WHAT DOES FH SAY?? Holy crap! I would say, being a good wife means being with my husband NOT with u! And being myself, the woman who he fell in love with and never changing a thing!
I'm really mad over this and I don't even know u!! Hahaha. So I can only imagine how u feel. Well good luck babe! And tons of

Re: A poll re: my tattoos and the FILs.
Why should you have to accept all of their tradtions and culture if they aren't going to be accepting of yours. it is not their body so why should it matter to them.

Re: A poll re: my tattoos and the FILs.
I say do it. They don't seem to be showing much respect for you anyway from what I've seen in past posts, so why should you conform to their beliefs? You seem to have always been respectful but this is YOUR shower so you should be able to wear what you want to wear. It isn't like you're telling them to go get tattoos.

Show them. I would so do it AND as a silent FU for the way they have been behaving. If they don't like it, they don't have to look.
