Trying to convince my dad to let me get a tattoo?

tattoos for girls about their dad image

No one

I have this tattoo that I've wanted for a really long time. It has a lot of meaning to me and I know I won't regret it when I get older and it will be in a place nearly no one will see (my ribs). I'm turning eighteen in a few months and want to get the tattoo, and I can legally do it then without my parents permission.
In January, my grandmother passed away. The tattoo I want is from a card she gave me, and she wrote "The best is yet to come" inside of it. I want the tattoo in my grandmothers handwriting on my ribs. Not only does it mean something because it's from my grandmother, but also because it's inspiring and reminds me that there is much better things coming, and I think it will help me, especially because I also deal with depression and have these times when I feel like there is nothing to look forward to in the future.
My dad says I can't get the tattoo (even when I'm an adult and not living with them). He says he doesn't like tattoos on girls and that I will regret it. I keep telling him that it's not going to matter to anyone but me because very few people would see it (even if I'm in a bathing suit, no one would see it in the area where I want it, because I don't wear bikinis). He just keeps saying that he will know about it and he doesn't approve of tattoos. He's even got two of them himself, which to me don't even really have a meaning (one is the symbol for a football team).
I'm really trying to convince him to let me get one because I've wanted it for a while now and I don't see why I can't get it when I legally can because someone doesn't like it. I don't want to get it without him knowing, and even if I did he would probably find out because he knows a lot of guys that do tattoos. Any ideas on how to convince him? Thanks

best thing to do, is wait until your 18, not long now! and think about if your parents are going to be disapointed. then again it your life, but dont rush, you have a lifetime

What's the chances of some with tattoos and piercings getting a good paying job?

I'm almost 16 I have peircings and gauges. I have my own style though and I'd like to be a fashion designer or suicide girl. My aunt and uncle keep telling me I'm gonna go overboard but we have two different definitions of overboard which irritates me :/ most fashion designers express themselves there own ways right? So why can't I? But wat jobs would I be able to get?

Answer
Really as long as you don't get any on your hands, face or the visible part of your neck providing you have longer hair, you can do anything you choose.
I have many tattoos, several of which are visible and I'm about to start a sleeve. I work with lawyers and judges regularly and none of them have any idea that I'm tattooed unless I'm close enough with them that I choose for them to know.

I work with my dad regularly, his dream for me since I was little was to be in business or law, and he is definitely not a supporter of tattoos. After I showed him how easy it was to hide my tattoos, he actually got me my job.
