My mom threatens to disown me for tattoos

My Chinese mom (52F) recently found out about my (27F) tattoo. She completely lost her mind and went crazy. After a while she calmed down and asked if I would get more. I said if I want to I will, if not I won’t.

Then this woman said “I would disown u if u get more. I hate people with tattoos.”

I responded “That’s ur problem, not mine.”

Im a Chinese living in Germany with IT job and have absolute 0 intention to go back to China to work, hence the tattoo would by no means affect my professional life at all. Previously she was against it from a cultural and professional perspective but now she just has no respect for me as an independent human at all.

I have a whole leg tattoos on my leg that I didn’t show her, although I have admitted I also have tattoos on the leg.

Im not going to change my mind despite her disagreement but Idk how to make peace with her or make her not go mental when I get more tattoos. Maybe when I’m over 35…?
