Mom and Daughter Get Tattoos Together (VIDEO)
Did your mom ever tell you "you can't judge a book by its cover"? She's right, and in the latest episode of Tattoo Moms we have your proof.
Doris is a sweet-looking grandma from Wisconsin: gray hair, glasses, retired from the pickle factory. But in fact, she's kind of a nonconformist. Because most grandmas don't have tattoos running up their legs. But Doris does. She's got everything from a tattoo of a pickle to stars and dots representing her children and grandchildren.
Speaking of those children and grandchildren, she's gone to get a tattoo with almost all of them. We meet her daughter Cindy in the episode too.
Cindy is covered in tattoos too, from one honoring her late husband and their four gorgeous pet cats to a classic rose on her chest. As it turns out, tattooing is a family affair for them; they've even had a tattoo party at Doris's son's house, and usually at least two family members go to get tattoos together.
Doris seems, well, kind of awesome. She got her her first tattoo in her 40s, which was well before tattoos went mainstream. Watch the video and check her out:

Does your mom or grandma have tattoos?
Quoting Anonymous:
Aw! I wouldn't get "matching tattoos" with the "birth mother". (hence she gave my brother & I up to party her a$$ away!)
But I will gladly get all four o my grand parents names on me!
I love them all! The last grandparent alive was my grandmom on my dad side, she passed away 12/21/2011.
My mom and I don't have any but have been talking about getting matching ones sometime soon. My MIL (may she rest in peace) had a LOT of awesome ink. Her whole back was of the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse. She had Jesus on one arm and a autographed tat of Rob Zombie on the other. She was really a wonderful woman with some beautiful ink.
my mom bitched and moaned when I got my first tattoo, telling me I had ruined my body...she got one two years later at age 54
My mom doesn't though she'd like to. But she's nevereven peirced her ears so I don't see that happening, lol. I have 4 tattoos, my nephew has 3, my niece has 4, my brother has one and my sister is planning her first.
my mother is dead. My grandfather has 6 tattoos though.
Do you ever get hit on even looking a mess?
Why inflict this silly cosmetic pain on a baby!?!
