You're 18, it's your body and your life. Be sure that you want it, though! And your mum can't actually kick you out for getting a picture on your skin. Maybe she's adding her own associations to the act of getting a tattoo... and that's her problem. Also, it might be partly that she's looking out for you - e.g. thinks you won't get a job is you go an interview with a (visible) tattoo. At the end of the day, it's your choice and your mum shouldn't be throwing those kinds of threats at you. Perhaps you should even ask her what her objections are? If she's going to spout threats like that, she has to have some kind of logical argument as well.
