TikTok user th3victorygarden shared a funny video about a hilarious mistake she made when choosing her tattoo.

In response to a TikTok challenge to share a meaningless tattoo, the young mother lifted her sleeve to show a Nintendo-esque child's drawing inked on her bicep.

The mom had chosen the design out of pride for her six-year-old son Kevin, who she thought must be an incredibly talented artist.

But shortly after the tattoo was finished, she learned that she now had a permanent reminder not to make assumptions.

The "artwork" the TikTok user found in the six-year-old's room and assumed was her son's had actually been drawn by his friend.
