I really just...don't know what to do right now on two seperate issues. One minor and one not so minor.
Minor:
My sister wants to get a tattoo. She is eighteen years old but I hate to say it- an immature eighteen.
The problem with her getting a tattoo right now is that she is too impulsive and gets bored of things too quickly. She found the design on the internet a few days ago and has all of a sudden decided she wants it.
I understand the kind of love at first site with the design for a tattoo that some people get, but my sister is going through serious emotional and mental problems lately and I really don't think she has had the mental capacity to think things through.
She's what I would call a passive attention seeker. She will do things to get your attention that may not necessarily be dramatic, but will have a lasting effect.
Anyway she decided that she wanted to get this playing card sized butterfly on her neck. Good thing she didn't because I would have personally bitch-slapped the unethical artist that gives someone without any tattoos a neck tattoo.
So I convinced my sister not to get the tattoo on her neck at least, instead she is getting it in between her shoulder blades. I still can't help but think she is making a huge mistake and is going to regret it.
Every single one of her few body mods have been done so that people will pay attention to her. Among other things she has done (like stealing money and running away to see her boyfriend in New York- don't get me started on that fiasco).
I am afraid that in doing something that has become really common now- but still not accepted, will make her do worse things to herself later for the sake of more attention. Keep in mind, she has already cut, had an eating disorder and threatened to jump off a roof.
The fact that she hasn't really thought too much about the design or the placement bothers me. I don't mind her getting a tattoo eventually I just think she should wait it out. Am I being unreasonable in my thinking? Am I jumping to conclusions about her doing furthur harm to herself?

My boyfriend, Tiriel is seriously hating his homelife right now, and rightly so. His mother is being completely unreasonable in some respects. The background story is too much for me to explain here so you are just going to have to trust me on this one.
He wants to move out so badly that he is actually willing to live on the streets. Yeah. That bad.
I don't know what to do. My mom offered to have him spend a few weeks with us, but beyond that she can't really help. We had someone board out of a spare room in our home before and that did not work out very well because he was a constant presence there- always and my mom is a strong advocate of her "personal time". Therefore she realy doesn't want to rent the room again
So anyone out there in SG land who happens to like me....give Tiriel a big hug if you please.

Seeing as I'm completely incompetent with graphics software, and you seem to be so very talented, would you be so kind as to increase the lettering size? Maybe to about twice the size, and perhaps in bold? It'd be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou again! That really is fantastic! Don't know why I hadn't thought of putting the words in the symbol...
