A young Michigan woman took her grandmother to get matching tattoos for her 90th birthday – and while TikTok viewers went wild for the the ‘bada**’ grandma, the elderly woman’s husband wasn’t quite as impressed.
Christina (@christinaam13) took her grandma to get inked in honor of turning 90, with the pair choosing identical sleeping angel designs.
Both seemed thrilled by the results, with grandma flashing a big smile at the camera, though her husband appeared less excited by his wife’s tatted shoulder.
Christina’s video of the outing has since gone viral with nearly a million views in a matter of days.

‘My grandmother and I got matching tattoos for her 90th birthday,’ Christina wrote in the video, adding the caption, ‘Happy 90th, Grandma.’
The clip begins with Christina’s grandmother, whose name is unknown, walking into American Pride Tattoos in Rochester, Michigan, using a walker.
After signing a consent form, she poses for a selfie with Christina, who gives the camera a thumbs up.
The video then cuts to the grandmother sitting in a chair as the artist begins to tattoo the angel onto her left shoulder.
Unbothered by the pain, the grandmother smiles up at her husband, who turned to look at the camera with an unamused expression on his face.

The TikTok video goes on to show Christina getting the same design – a simple black outline with no color – inked onto her ankle.
The body art wasn’t Christina’s first, and a mouth design can also be seen on her ankle above her new angel tat.
However, it’s unclear whether this is the first tattoo for grandma.
Since Christina posted the video four days ago, it’s been flooded with love for the ‘wholesome’ moment.
‘She didn’t even flinch! Legend!’ wrote one person.
Another added: ‘Grandpa didn’t look that thrilled. That is so bada** you did that with her and she did that with you. That made my day.’
‘This is probably the cutest thing I’ve ever seen,’ read a third comment.

A different TikTok user gushed, ‘This is so wholesome.’
Some commenters were particularly entertained by Christina’s grandfather’s far-from-excited reaction.
‘Grandpa doesn’t look impressed,’ joked one. ‘This is so d**n adorable though.’
‘Grandpa is not having it,’ said one more viewer. Another wrote, ‘What a beautiful memory to make.’
Some people even shared their own experiences with getting tattoos with their grandparents.
‘My sister convinced my grandma to do the same for her 70th birthday two years ago. She hasn’t stopped talking about how she wants more,’ recalled one user.
‘I love this so much,’ said another. ‘My grandma isn’t here anymore but she also celebrated her 90th birthday like this.’
