You use the word, Freak, is this how you see yourself? If so then how can you blame her for seeing you the same way? Most parents want the very best for their children, I know I do. They look at you and wonder what kind of future you have. What kind of a job will you be able to get. How well will you be able to support their daughter. These are all good reasons to look at you and shake there heads. I assume you are young, as very few older people are running around with huge holes in their ear lobes. I further assume that your girlfriend and her family are more main stream. You mention that you like the history and meaning of your self mutilations. However it's not your history! Nore is it her parents history so why should they understand it?

I use the word "freak" in lines! I hate that word when directed, but sure I do know why they don't like the look nor you for what I see. I already got a job, I study fine arts and in prosses of opening a tattoo shop with some friends, but what I ask myself is: why do people just don't respect my life and the life of many others that fallow this? I guess you may see it as a trend, fashon, or even bitter "it's just a kids thing" but I've been influenced by older people and I know what a 3" septum hole means, and as you say "my history" well is there some colture that you idolize or respect? Cause I do: Mayas, Thailand, New Zealand natives and many others.
But the big question is: why can't people respect my way of life as I respect theirs?
I know more than one older men that have been doing these "mutilations" for 30 and even more years and say that this judgment will grow into a mess*

as I do understand you thoughts
Just for a second try to see my point of view
:)

Buddy you are a freak and that look is horrible if i had a daughter i wouldnt even talk to you.You are crying out for attention with that look.My advice be a man and grow up take that crap out of your ears and grow the hell up.You like the attention its quite clear but wouldnt it be better if it was positive like wow what a organized handsome young man instead of some marilyn manson weirdo goth freak vmon man u can tell that u look like crap with that garbage in your face...

tbh, I've never really got body mods, though I do agree that people should respect your decision to have them. However, if you wanna keep up the style, you're gonna have to accept that a lot of people aren't very open-minded to that sorta thing, especially if they are older, and no matter what you're always gonna find someone who objects. Don't let it stop you if you like it though, just learn to ignore the people who don't : )

Ask yourslef this, What do you love more body modification, or your girlfriend?

all parents are like that, i think that mom cant handle any boy not just you

You can express youself any way you want, but you can't avoid the way people react to it.

If you don't like the reaction, then express yourself some other way.

Is this really difficult for you?

MisterGee81, who the fuck are u to tell someone how to look?
People dress this way because it looks good to them not cuz they try to get attention, thats called a Poser.
How is MM a freak? Have u met him? Have u watched any of his interviews? Hes a genius and just because someone dresses this way does not make them a "freak"
Its mainstream faggots like u who make this world such a fucked up place. Are you God? no, so dont judge people.
Thanks for giving everyone on here a good laugh and showing what an idiot you are.

Well I am 45 and I like some of it but I think there is a point when you can do too much. And you have to remember this kind of thing wasn't around 50 years ago and most people that are my age and older dont have anything unless a guy went into the service and got a tattoo. I would do what you want to do it is your life and your body but if you love your girlfriend then take that into consideration but should you really have to change who you are so someone will love you or like you?

Who cares about what your girlfriends mom?
It's her doughter you're dating and love, not the mom*
:D

And about your image...
I've got 31mm! Stay strong. It's something you love and IT IS going to affect you upcoming relationships, but it's a decision you've made.

Go to BME. there you can find much more suport, more than the one you're getting here :D

peace man

I know exactly where your coming from man, i have 12 piercings and 8 Tatts and my b/f's mum hates me lol

I'm thinking it quite possible that it's less the "12 piercings and 8 Tatts", but more the fact that you refer to yourself as "DisturbedAngel666" I don't know, I don't care, but I'm sure your "b/f's mum" probably isn't too keen on it.

i was a long haired guy in a hockey town when i was a teenager. i got called fag eVRYDAY on the bus to school. i got beat by hockey players. my teachers sometimes treated me like i was a rebel, even though i was straight edged and polite. i only ever had ONE gf's parents like me, and that was because they were "freaks" like me. DON'T LET THE WORLD MAKE YOU BITTER AND DON'T LET THEM MAKE YOU CHANGE. we are all beautiful inside, don't let the ugliness of hatred ruin the wonderful person im' sure you are.

Why do you expect her parents to like you? You can't be serious, doing what you do to yourself and expecting other people's admiration. If "body modification" is what you want and like then fine. Just don't be so ridiculous in demanding "acceptance."

youra emo who wouldnt hate you? nothing wrong with tattoos or piercings but you have to realise that some people arnt used to it and if your old enough to have these tattoos and piercings how come your girls young enough to be telt by her mom what to do are you a nonse or is this bullshit?

Some people are stuck in their ways, It might be hard for her to adjust, but if she's any mother worth having, she'll accept you regardless what you've added to your body.

it's her loss if she decides she wants to be like that.
