I think he is the most gorgeous man ever.
and tbh I DONT CARE WHAT MY PARENTS THINK looks shouldnt matter.
he's a lovely guy and he treats me right so if yours is the same then your parents should accept him.
parents preach to you for years about not being shallow so they shouldnt judge a book by its cover!!

 Hi,
You need to warn your parents what he looks like first, otherwise it could be a bit of a shock to them.
Also you need to tell them how respectfull he is of you, to wait until you are 18 before you date properly. I have no tatoo's myself, when I first met my son in law, he has loads. Also the large holes in his ears(plugs). I can tell you it was a bit of a shock. But he is the nicest person and loves my daughter so much. They had a fantastic wedding, even if it was a bit unusual.
My point is, you dont have to wear a suit to be a gent.
XXX Good luck babe

Hey Hun,
Well you obviously like this guy if you are waiting until you are 18 until you start going out with him. And you obviously care about what your parents think but you are growing up and your parents need to respect that you are going to have boyfriends if he makes you happy then Im sure your parents will accept him and warm to him to when they see how happy he makes you.
Dont worry about it just tell your mum and if you are really worried about how she reacts to the tatoos just inform them that he has a few tatoos and pearcings. x

 Hi
Speak to whichever parent you are closer with. Tell them that you have chosen to date this guy but you have waited until you were 18 ( im sure they would think that you are responsible) ask then to see who the real him is and to look beyond his surface.I dont know how your parents are but maybe they wouldnt mind the tatoos and the piercings?If things are really bad then you can ask himto remove the piercing and try to cover up the tatoos as much as possible.What makes you say that they would have a problem?
Regards,mail me if you wanna talk
