Relief
So I bit the bullet and told my parents about the tattoos, or at least about the one on the back of my neck. I called and told Brenda about it first. Her reaction: You did WHAT? five minutes of silence later, What the hell did you do that for? But she didn't really flip out about it, and she told my dad. He's a little disappointed, but his reaction was Well as long as that's the worst she does. So no major freak out from the parents and hopefully no lecture when I go home on Friday. I'm just relieved that they took it so well.
