“Hey, Deb, my BFF! Yeah, it’s me, Chloe. Listen, we’ve always shared our secrets, right? Well, I’ve got a doozy! I did it. I got a tattoo! I know ….. my mother’s gonna freak out! No, it’s not big, not like your brother’s back tattoo of James Dean! It’s small and whimsical and very cool. It’s the planet Saturn on the inside of my wrist. I love it! Listen, Deb. Will you do me a favor? Can you come over? Maybe if you’re here when I tell my mother about the tattoo, she won’t have a total meltdown.  What do you mean you have to wash your hair? Jeez, thanks for nothing, Deb!”

      1. Yes, very true.
        My youngest daughter has a tattoo of a sweetpea at the back of her neck with the words Sweetpea. She had it done because her ex used to call her Sweetpea!
        She couldn’t understand why I was so annoyed with her. Though as tattoos go, it is at least tasteful.
        Another family member had so many done in her youth that she ended up looking like a wrestler! Sadly, she looked dreadful in her wedding dress.
        I suppose beauty really is in the eye of the beholder!
