“My grandmother and I got matching tattoos for her 90th birthday,” she wrote on the video, which she shared to her TikTok page.
The clip showed her grandma walking into the tattoo parlour using her walking frame, before signing a disclaimer and then sitting in the tattooist’s chair.
Both she and her grandmother opted for a cherubic tattoo – her grandma on her right upper arm and Christina on her left inner ankle.
The video also showed Christina’s grandfather looking on as his wife was inked, and viewers were quick to comment on the disapproving look on his face.
“Grandpa don’t look impressed,” one person wrote. “This is so damn adorable tho.”
“Grandpa didn’t look that thrilled,” someone else added. “That is so badass you did that with her and she did that with you – that made my day.”

“I love this so much,” a third person wrote. “My grandma wanted to do the same before she died but we never got to because of COVID.
“This is beautiful to see.”
And another comment read: “Me and my sister convinced my grandma to do the same for her 70th birthday 2 years ago.
“She hasn’t stopped talking about how she wants more.”
