Just a lovely little thread about this mum who shocked her daughter by getting a tattoo
Every so often one of your parents will do something that really, really surprises you. Like getting a tattoo, for instance.
Which is what happened to Jo Moore who shared a lovely little thread about it on Twitter and frankly we’re inspired to get one too. Might have to wait a bit for our kids to be properly shocked though.
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.

*UPDATE*
It went down a storm at the @WomensInstitute meeting last night.
Mom thinks the Twitter love is hilarious.
She's enjoying a "cheeky day off" school due to flooding today.

Jo added: ‘Fans of my mom (and who isn’t?) may enjoy this earlier brush with fame. She has always been a legend.”
She certainly has, because there was also this.
Someone recently found this newspaper clipping of my mom (Wendy, on left) "causing a stir" by being a female engineer in 1970. Later became be 1st woman to get a HND in engineering in Shropshire & rescheduled her wedding to revise 😍. Love this – total legend #womeninSTEM pic.twitter.com/PJNSck0h7U
