Its strictly not officialdom, but my god is this petty
Mother scrapes the barrel in delusional needy umbrage upon discovering her 21 year old son has had a tattoo:

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/aug/11/devastated-by-my-sons-tattoo

Seriously, not speaking to him for 3 days? Having a meltdown because you've realised you don't physically 'own' him anymore?

Those aren't apron strings, those are evil strangling womb-tentacles from the planet over-bearing. And the staggering thing is she doesn't even really realise it, judging by her whiny me me me fanny-fart of an article. How her son managed to be sane is miraculous.

What an agonizing gusset-louse of a female!

This was my mum's exact reaction when she found out I had tattoos.

On this particular point I'm not going to disagree with you.

It's an acceptable reaction
if he had "My mum is shit" tattooed onto his forehead.

I don't have the punk credentials to pull that one off.

Wow, what an overbearing harridan.
And this in the Grauniad? More like something you'd expect in the Mail. Fucksake.

Hmm, rather a lot of comments that didn't meet the moderators' approval there.
Wonder how many of them consisted of JESUS CHRIST WOMAN, GET A FUCKING GRIP

This is great. I want to meet this woman. How self-obsessed can you be?! She should post on QOTFW.

What an irritating cunt.
Nothing against her son, but I vote we kidnap him and have him done up like The Enigma.

Nothing says "non-conformist rebel" like doing the exact same thing that all your mates are doing.
I thought tattoo parlours were required to obtain parental consent before inking the under 16s?
