- I'm not a person. Who's good at surprises.
I could cry right now. Lost my mind.
My kids are pranksters. She wants a big bunch of bananas,
is it a chicken? I can't stand it.
Here is why? I don't trust Matt.
Video game controller.
I was a little bit shocked when I saw it.
Normally this is when I would have you take a look
at it.
No. Turning back now.
Hi, I'm Hannah.
I'm the World's okay-est mom.
And I've let my kids decide a lot of things
from my hair color, to our meal plan for a week.
But I think it's time to up the stakes.
What happens when I let my kids design my newest tattoo?
Will it be a permanent mistake or while I love it?
Let's see. Wish me luck.
Well guess what boys? You know how I have some tattoos?
- Yeah.
- Well, I want to get another one.
And I think for this one,
I'm going to let you guys design it.
Would you want to do that?
- Yes,Yes Yes.
- You would.
Okay. What is.
Where did you get that?
Wyatt did you hear me?
- Yeah.
- Yes.
- So here's the plan.
I'm going to let my kids pick my next tattoo.
They're going to work with the tattoo artists
to make a design and I'm going to get it tattooed on my body
without seeing it.
So the one ground rule that I'm setting
for this tattoo is no poop.
No poop.
- poop.
- I know my kids, we all know my kids.
You know my kids, poop is everything.
Poop is life. We're not doing any poop.
I don't care if it's an emoji.
I don't care if it's a realistic depiction
of a big fat (beep).
We're not doing poop.
- Poop.
- That is the rule. No poop.
Do You hear me?
- No. I don't hear you.
- Yeah you don't too.
(baby noises)
oh my gosh I said no. I said no poop.
(kids laughing)
Okay.
Well, good luck guys.
And they got immediately to sketching.
Can I just see?
- No.
- Oh, come on.
I told them, you know,
you're going to brainstorm with the tattoo artists.
You really don't need to draw something. And they're like,
"no, no, no,
We want to come prepared". So we all got on a video chat.
I got to meet Erin. And then I had to leave the room.
Matt stayed with the boys and they got to talking.
- Hi,
I'm Erin I'm owner and tattoo artists at super-sweet coffee
and tattoos in Echo park.
- As they were brainstorming.
I heard a lot of words thrown out like pizza, banana,
back flip, like what is going on here?
So I was really nervous that I was going to end up with a
giant pizza slice.
I am outside.
So I can't hear anything,
but they've been in there for awhile.
And I'm starting to get a little bit nervous.
I hope.
They're in there because she's talking them down
from whatever bizarre idea they have
or they could be figuring out a way to make it work.
So I'm very nervous.
You know how it goes to my kids. It's like either zero
or it's a hundred.
It's like.
(spitting noises)
Oh my God a bug.
My kids are pranksters.
Like Jackson really fashion himself a prankster.
So he will totally do something like tell the tattoo artist,
oh, my mom loves bananas.
She loves bananas.
She wants a big bunch of bananas tattooed on her.
You should do bananas with flames.
Cause she also loves that.
And then he think it was like the epic prank.
- When the boys presented their initial ideas,
I thought it was kind of all over the place,
but they were trying to come up
with something really unique. I could tell.
And so we just sort of worked together and I helped to guide
them toward something that I think Hannah's really going
to like.
- Wyatt do you agree?
- Yes.
- Okay, He agrees.
- So after the video chat,
Erin designed the tattoo that she and the boys came up with
and she actually sent it to Matt.
Matt did not make me feel good. So it looks bad.
- No, but like, you know, I don't know,
hundred percent what you like.
- You don't know what I would like.
- When it comes to tattoos,
you got a lot of different kind of all different styles.
- Does it look good for me.
- Yeah, you know, it's simple.
It's sweet.
I don't know what else to say.
- You're making me so nervous.
He made a couple comments of like, I wouldn't get that.
And I'm like, what?
So I really started to spiral after talking to him.
I just need you to tell me.
If it's a design, I will be okay with.
- You're going to be fine with it.
- I'm going to be fine with it.
- Yes.
- Well, no turning back now.
Just know that if I don't come home
it's cause I don't like it.
(everyone laughs)
I'm here outside the tattoo shop.
I'm very nervous because I thought I had a sense
of what the boys picked. And I think after talking to Matt,
I realized I'm very wrong.
He did not make me feel very good about what they chose.
I think the design looks good probably,
but he made it sound like they picked something kind
of lame. So shall we go in, are we still doing this?
I guess we're still doing this. Let's do it.
I step into Supersweet and it is where I want to live.
I'll pack my bags and move in. If they don't mind.
It's gorgeous. It's so tasteful,
everything is right and beautiful and so thoughtful.
And so I felt like I was in really good hands when I walked
in.
- So I think that this spot on the back of your arm,
just above these crystals, it's going to be really nice.
Cause I think these designs kind of go together and.
- Ohh that sounds promising.
The first thing Aaron did was shaved my arm,
which I was like, are they the hairy?
But they do it on any part of your skin that has any even
like micro hairs.
Then next she transferred the design onto my skin.
- Yeah. This looks really cute.
And normally this is when I would have you take a look
at it.
- Oh my God, I want to so badly.
- but this is my choice at this point.
So I think this is great and I hope you love it.
- I laid down on the table and then the painful part,
sticking a needle in.
Over and over and over.
It feels like a really hot knife scraping over my skin.
So this tattoo experience was very different from a lot that
I've had because I genuinely feel like, and again,
this ain't sponsored. I paid for this tattoo.
I stand behind my opinion of this place.
I really think that they created this shop to be accepting
and welcoming.
Here. I am feeling very good.
Erin is super nice and super stylish.
And so I feel like if she likes it, I like it.
So I'm feeling very good.
So while she was tattooing,
I was trying to get a sense of what she was doing
or what shape it was or what was even going on at all.
And I had no idea.
This tattoo also feels like it is a foot long.
(both laughs)
What is it wrong with me and my perception of my own body?
But it's like, this is a one foot tattoo.
- It is.
It's literally a foot.
its a tattoo of a foot and it's a foot long
and you're a done.
- oh my gosh. Yay.
- It looks so cute.
But you're going to have no idea.
- The tattoos finished.
It really didn't hurt that badly.
And it felt very efficient, which is awesome.
So I feel like the design isn't something too crazy.
The tough part is going to be driving home without peaking,
but luckily it's on the back of my arms.
So it'll be hard for me to see anyway, in the car with this,
I'm feeling very Zen.
I'm feeling really excited to show the boys
and I'm really excited to see it.
- I thought the final result was great.
I think she's going to love it.
It was nice because it went with another tattoo
that she had. I think the boys are going to love it.
I think it brings together a lot of what they wanted
and a lot of what it seems that Hannah might like,
I think they're really gonna love it.
- I am walking into the house.
I'm going to show the boys
and then I'm going to see for myself.
And I'm really excited.
I'm not nervous at all. I'm just excited.
Hi, hi guys.
(baby crying)
Are you guys ready to see ?
- Yes.
- Do you remember what you picked
- Uh yeah.
- Okay.
Come here. Okay buddy.
Look honey. One, two, three
- Wow, Oh my God.
That's so cool.
Don't touch it.
- What is it?
- No don't touch it.
- What is it Henry?
- Did you say moon?
Is it a moon?
- Yeah.
(everyone laughs)
- He's saying star.
- Star.
So then the big moment finally arrived.
I got to see my tattoo that.
Everyone has known about for weeks, except me.
Are you going to fill my reactions?
- Okay.
- Ready?
one, two, three.
Oh,oh my gosh.
oh this is amazing.
And on the moon it says Jackson, Wyatt and Henry..
I love it so much.
Oh my god now I'm going to cry.
It was a moon.It was a moon.
which is Henry's favorite thing in the world.
Surrounded by stars. And in the moon it has Jackson,
Wyatt and Henry's names.
(crying)
I love it so much. This is so perfect.
Thank you so much boys. Give me hugs.
- Huggy.
- Give me a big hug Wyatt.
thank you so much. Sweethearts.
When they were deciding on the tattoo.
I really didn't think Henry would be included
in what they did because they're such good brothers.
They're such good brothers to him.
They made it about him too.
And they did something that they knew he would really love
and that kind of thoughtfulness and empathy is like, Ugh.
That's all you want to see in your kids. As a parent,
it has been awhile since I've cried in a video,
like welcome back, Hannah.
So, that's all for now. I am Hannah.
What did you like the tattoos?
Should I let them do another one? Let me know on Instagram.
Now if you'll please, excuse me.
I'm going to grow slather some aquaphor for my new tattoo.
Till next time.
Now make sure not to miss next week's episode.
We were doing another food around the world episode.
I'm cooking seven new dishes from seven different countries
and this food is going to be epic.
(happy beat music)
