If you have a tattoo, you'll know how deeply personal they can be and whatever you choose to ink on your body is only your business. But of course, you'll want to show off your new tat to those you're closest with, including family and friends.
So one woman was left insulted after her grandmother gave her brutally honest reaction to her new tattoo - a black outline of a butterfly whose left wings are replaced by an assortment of flowers.
Elizabeth Cotton surprised her family at home in Nottingham, East Midlands, by showing off her inking - but she couldn't have predicted the response she'd get from 81-year-old grandmother Lynda Sail.
In a hilarious video, Lynda can be seen given her honest opinion about her granddaughter's tattoo, and she didn't hold hold back in her scathing analysis of the tat.
Elizabeth's older sister Emily, 21, filmed her family's reaction, panning to her grandmother first whilst asking: "What do you think to Izzy's tattoo?"
Elizabeth - looking rather unimpressed - sits at the head of the table patiently waiting for the feedback.
Emily then zooms in on Elizabeth's tattoo, and immediately Lynda bluntly replies: "S**t."
"You what?", asks Emily to which Lynda hesitantly laughs before reiterating: "S**t."
Emily asks: "Why do you think that?"
Lynda replies: "Because it's horrible."
A visibly-annoyed Elizabeth quietly replies to her grandmother: "Do you know what else is horrible? I'm not going to say because I don't want to hurt your feelings like you just hurt mine."
Lynda replies: "Hurt your feelings? It's not finished off properly", and Elizabeth said: "It is."
Lynda points towards the butterfly saying: "It's only got two wings and a body."
Elizabeth snaps back: "Yeah two wings and a body, that's what it's supposed to have, what butterflies are you looking at?"
Another voice off-screen can be heard saying: "They have four." to which Elizabeth says: "No they don't."
Lynda then goes to point at the tattoo again, before Elizabeth reels back in annoyance.
Lynda adds: "You could have them over that flower, it's stupid," before disapprovingly looking in the opposite direction.
Emily can be heard chuckling before panning the camera over to her mum to see what she thinks.
However, Lynda isn't done with her criticism as she interrupts saying: "It'll be an old moth soon anyway," which garners a chorus of chuckles from the family.
Social media users found the interaction hilarious, with one writing: "Better than me because I would have told my nan she's an old moth."
"My nan would have said the same", someone sympathised.
"I want to know the horrible things she had to say, she should've gone straight for the jugular", another joked.
Emily said that the reaction from her nana was "no surprise" saying "she has no filter and says everything she thinks with no hesitation."
What would you do about this reaction? Let us know in the comments.
