That tattoo is going to look like shit in a few years.

Correction shittier.

UO: I generally have no opinion on where someone gets a tattoo. You do you. But I hate, I mean loath with the fiery passion of 1,000 suns hate, boob tattoos. I try to talk people out of them all the time. They never look that good.

I'm not talking about chest pieces or tattoos on mastectomy scars, those can be awesome. I mean tattoos right on the tit. No. Those are a no.

@ClimbingBrideNY - I've been wondering why this girl has so much contact with your whole family if you've not actually met her yet. I feel like I didn't have addresses or phone numbers for any of H's family until after I actually went to his hometown and met them. She despises your MIL... has she met your MIL? How does this work? I'm curious.

Could have been one of the mason jar on a pedestal ones... Yikes... Also what's a white elephant party?

*Stuck in the box*

White elephant party:

Everyone brings a wrapped gift. It can be tacky or nice, but it's usually either something you're regifting or something you find around the house. It's more fun if all of the gifts are kind of tacky. My brother likes to get stuff from the dollar store.

The first person selects a wrapped gift from the table. They open it and keep whatever they get. The second person then selects a gift. Once they unwrap it, they either keep it or make the first person trade with them. Then the third person unwraps one and either keeps it or trades with the first or second person. And so on.

I've ended up with some pretty silly things, but I also scored a nice candlestick a couple of years ago.

My husband's office has a white elephant at their annual holiday party. This gets re gifted each year

We have an autographed photo of Erik Estrada from CHIPS that gets passed around at our family Christmas. I'm pretty sure H and I will end up taking it home this year. We have to display it until it gets regifted.

That's awesome! My dad's office used to have an intense white elephant. There was a woman who was notorious about talking about her genius son at the office, so her white elephant gift was an 8x10 portrait of him. It was hilarious.

She's been dating my BIL on and off for years. I'm the only one that hasn't met her. MIL, BIL and girlfriend all live in Florida like 10 minutes from each other. MIL also helps BIL run his business so they're together a lot.
The things I know about girlfriend are things I've seen on Facebook. She friended me after H and I started dating. Then obviously H and MIL filled me in on the rest.

I just bought this as a white elephant gift, but I REALLY want to keep it.

I had that on my wedding registry! Got it for my shower but haven't used it yet.

White elephant swap is usually tacky gifts, otherwise it's called a Yankee swap. I have a friend who calls it a Red Sox swap, so he doesn't have to associate anything good with Yankee.
