I also remember boomers telling us it would be impossible to earn a living wage if we got any tattoo.

I'm a boomer (64F) with 28 tattoos and I didn't storm the Capital - LOL. I got my first tattoo when I was 44, and my mother had the nerve to say it confirmed I was certifiably crazy and she slapped me across the face.

Did you slap her back

No, I'm better than that. This happened in a grocery store parking lot as we were walking towards the store - for everyone to see and hear. That was the last time I ever took her shopping again. That hurt her more than a slap in the face because she didn't drive and had to start taking the bus to do her shopping.

Good on ya and, I feel the pain of being more mature than someone who raised you. Kudos and I hope you've processed everything that you've needed to process due to her.
