in memorializing the person he thought you were, he loses the person you are

- his daughter. Do I know if he will ever change his view of me? No. But the thought of having a permanently on him that I no longer associate myself with sickens me. Truly, it makes me want to throw up thinking about it. It makes me want to sob, to scream, to insist and insist that he doesn’t get it. Also, it’s clearly an AI-generated sketch, but he (of course) doesn’t really care about that. How do I convince him and give him “honest feedback” about the tattoo (2/3) -

- (3/3) while trying not to ruin MY life without being so direct, if that makes sense? If I tell him no, don’t get it, he WILL ask why. And he won’t respect my opinion if I tell him upfront. So, I guess what I’m asking, is advice on how to mask an honest opinion with a secret message if that makes sense?
