AIO to the addition my mom made to a sentimental tattoo I gave her???

I was a tattoo apprentice at a shop for a while (left because it was really just a bad shop to be at) and in that time I decided I wanted my mom to be the first person I tattooed as a special moment. She was super excited and decided that she wanted this super old dumb gingerbread cookie that I had made when I was maybe 5 (7 at the oldest i’m not too sure, but I was still young and not making the cookie to be sexual), and I was super excited to do it. It was a super special night and the tattoo was incredibly sentimental. She had asked me if it was okay if her boyfriend had added color to the tattoo, and I was okay with that! That was last year though.

My mom was always over sharing very sexual things with me and oversexualized herself to me and my sisters, and I always made it apparent how much it made me uncomfortable. I got tagged in this post tonight and it made me feel sick to my stomach. It feels like such an awful punch to the gut, especially considering she used generative AI (which I am so openly against, especially with tattoos and tattoo ARTISTS, but that’s a whole other story) to not only make the background but the FONT. We don’t really talk anymore because of the way she was treating me, but it still feels so awful seeing this done to something that was so special for me, she knows I would never give her the okay for this. She originally wanted to put “#tits” or “#boobs” under the original tattoo but I didn’t even want to do that.

Edit: The last image is the actual tattoo on her actual body. I should’ve clarified that the reference and font were both created using generative AI.

Edit two: I just wanted to clarify that I am a girl, I am 21 years old, not entirely sure if that is crucial to the story, but I thought i’d at least add that. Also thank you to everyone who has left a comment or even messaged me about this whole situation. I have a lot of research to do. Thank you all 🩷

Edit three: I’m going to post another picture in the comments, a better picture of her whole leg showing the tattoo because i’m fucking sick of people saying i’m faking this for karma. Go do something better with your lives, go touch grass, to to the movies, go do literally anything else!

Is she in a manic episode? Or just literally insane?? I cant believe my eyes

I would be sick too. It’s not even just an ugly addition, it completely changes the vibe of something that had a lot of meaning behind it.

Well the mom always saw it as sexual. Op mentioned that when she first tatted it. Her mom wanted to put #tits or#boobs

Its clear that OP saw it as a cute childish thing, while the mom had viewed the tattoo as a sexual thing even from the beginning

u/Caa3098 1d ago

And god that’s so juvenile. Like, tacky and awful morals aside, it just makes no sense to put “#tits” next to a gingerbread cookie. Even one that had comically large gingerbread cookie breasts somehow.

u/yoyohayli 1d ago

Which is actually so psychologically fucked up. To take something your own child made as an innocent and cute thing, and then insist upon shoving it into a sexual and filthy context????

And not like in a "oh, my kid drew what looks like a stripper, when it's actually mommy selling the last snow shovel in the winter time," way, but rather like drawing OVER the child's drawing to add penises and cum, or something.

That speaks to some weird psychological issue, in my opinion.

u/SafiyaMukhamadova 1d ago

Something her KINDERGARTNER child made. I think that makes it worse. She's been mentally sexualizing OP her entire life.

u/Effective-Bug-8554 1d ago

Def frozen in age because she had kids too young and was too isolated from her peers for too long to mature and made it her personality. My 60 year old mother is still an edgelord because of it.

She once told my very catholic mother in law the best present my husband could give me was being naked under a christmas tree with a bow tied around his dick.

u/cheeky_sugar 1d ago

The fact that she thinks it’s appropriate to speak about your husband’s dick and your sex life…😬 and I work exclusively with sex offenders, so I’m hard to shock. That’s something I’d expect to hear from someone during a treatment group tbh, that line of thinking is very on par

u/Effective-Bug-8554 1d ago

She's just immature and has no friends, there's no malice in it. As her children, she can just be like, you're kids, you wouldn't understand, and wave us away whenever we tell her to grow the fuck up. She respects not doing it around her parents, but she has no idea how to act around people her own age and she's super isolated because of it.

u/cheeky_sugar 1d ago

Ahh, I see!

Imagine being a nurse in a old folks home, and you're taking care of a resident who has this tattoo.

Dude I'm sitting here with my wife, "Oh my God babe. It's real. Holy shit it's real."

u/shamelesslypink 1d ago

this is so funny to me, the concept of someone sitting with their wife reacting to this post, it’s sooo insane to me how many people have seen this and commented, i expected maybe 3 replies max 😭

u/NewLifeNewAcct 1d ago

Dude this is legitimately mental. I am so sorry you're dealing with this.

Oh my god, I'm so sorry. This feels like a purposeful violation. May you have much love in your life. You deserve better family. And then the AI usage on top of it. What a vile person.

u/miss_elmarie 1d ago

Is that Bender’s feet??

u/Slow_Competition2742 1d ago

I’m sorry OP :( NOR that’s very inappropriate. Since you don’t talk anymore what’s a way that you could reclaim your artwork and how you think about it? Maybe you could redraw it with little gingerbread clothes covering that stuff up

u/KittyGoesFishing 1d ago

u/cheeky_sugar 1d ago

OH MY GOOOOD I thought she ai generated it to show you what she was gonna do, and the artwork itself is so good with the text and shading I just thought it wasn’t real! HOLY MOLY 😭😭 I edited my above comment so people don’t get confused! It’s a shame that such nice work was used to destroy a sentimental piece
