Last week my MOM got an actual TATTOO. I'm still in shock.

Important deets -

1. She's been drunk twice, ever

2. She thinks "crap" is quite a bad swear word

3. She got the tattoo on a Women's Institute coach trip to Chester

4. It's of a ball of wool and knitting needles

Quotes:

5. "Bat out of Hell was playing while I got it done."

6. "The man took a photo because he's never done one before" - no shit

7. "The language in there was a bit choice. Someone said the F word! Not to me, to his colleague"

8. "I'm old now, I can do whatever I like"

9. She was going to do a big reveal at Christmas but didn't want to "because the grandchildren will be there". They are 14 and 16. Their dad, @chrisnevmoore, has numerous tats.

10. She told me I am "still not allowed one".

Not a great pic as it's curved around her shoulder (she's not the best at selfies) but here it is.
From a woman who makes her own jam and recently had a Victoria Sponge judged by a Women's Institute official in a white lab coat.
