Inked Drama: A Tattoo Tale
Our tattoo artist protagonist finds herself in a tricky situation when her drama queen MIL comes asking for a tattoo. The reason? A 35-year-old prank where she convinced her husband to tattoo her name over his heart, only to back out herself. Fast forward to their 30th anniversary, and she’s finally agreed to get his name inked. But when the tattooing begins, MIL screams like there’s no tomorrow, and our tattoo artist can’t take it anymore. She stops halfway through, leaving MIL with ‘Er’ instead of ‘Eric’. MIL storms off, gets the rest of the tattoo done elsewhere, and proceeds to badmouth our protagonist. The question remains: should she have finished the tattoo? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
