– My name is Sebastian Gonzalez
and I’m gonna be surprising my mom with a tattoo.
– Honestly, we could get any
number of reactions from my family.
– Something about tattoos just speak to me.
It’s dope, but they wouldn’t let me get one so.
– None of my family has ever gotten a tattoo.
– I don’t think my mom is gonna be too happy.
– I ended up choosing a Koi fish, just because
it fits in with the whole zen vibe of my family.
– I’ll be getting a dragon tattoo.
My mom’s pretty smart but also I really dig dragons.
– A little bit nervous but at the same time,
I think this is gonna be great.
– He was such a good kid.
He just was always very, just listen.
(laughs)
– Very proud of you. You know, I just.
– Thanks ma. I’d never wanna do anything
that would take away from that pride that you have in me.
– Well I want to give him his space,
but I would hope that he was honest with me.
– Yeah.
– Do you remember when I was like talking to the two of you
about Tom’s birthday, like the weekend before last?
– Yes.
– And I got a little bit heavily under the influence.
Well, there’s like one other thing I
ended up doing that night.
– (sighs)
The real reason why I brought you here
wasn’t for really any of this.
– What?
– Just.
– You’re (bleep) me. Sebastian.
When did you get that?
– I got it like a couple of weeks ago.
– You’re dad is gonna kill you, dude.
– No ma, no.
– Alright so.
– Oh my gosh! It’s beautiful.
– I got a Koi fish.
– Was it painful?
– I don’t really remember.
– No, well good.
– I wanted a tattoo and you said you like personal space.
I do what I want.
– What is it?
– It’s like a dragon with smokes and stuff like that.
– It looks like scribbles to me Sebastian.
– Come on mom now you’re just being mean.
– Oh my God.
– I love the Koi fish. It’s kind of tied in
with Papa Ross, my dad.
He had a beautiful Koi pond.
And who actually had a heart attack
right next to his Koi pond.
And it was the most peaceful way for him to go.
It was a blessing.
– Do you even know, like when you got the tattoo,
like what does it mean to you?
– It means strength, resilience,
and that I really like Lord of the Rings so yeah.
– I don’t know why I thought, you know,
that you had gotten in trouble with the law
or you decided to go sleep with a hooker.
And I was like oh no.
So a tattoo is mild.
– Oh ok.
– I’ve gone through this with him before.
I got a tattoo when I was 18,
but now I’m 44 years old.
I wanna get it off.
I’m disappointed. At least talk to me about it.
– (sighs)
– And especially that color.
– (laughs) wow mom.
– I’ve considered tattoos myself.
– What would you get for a tattoo?
– Maybe an octopus.
Thank God it wasn’t a prostitute.
– Oh more? Like what else can you tell me?
– (sighs)
– Oh great.
– Calm down.
Alright, the tattoo’s fake mom.
– (laughs) Let me see.
– The tattoo’s fake mom,
like you can scrape it off just barely.
– (laughs) Thank God you didn’t get it.
– I just want to give you one last look of the tattoo.
– Yes.
– Cause it’s actually gonna wash off.
(laughs) It’s not a real tattoo.
– Really?
– You don’t understand how much it was gonna cost us
to get that lasered off.
– Who said I was gonna get it lasered off?
– I’m shaking I’m so happy!
(laughs)
– It’s a beautiful tattoo though.
– You didn’t want to go for something
a little more masculine?
– (laughs)
– I want to give you your personal space, but
like something like that is big.
Tagging yourself and doing that is not what makes you.
You is what makes you.
– Don’t get an octopus tattoo.
Cause I think the octopus would be a little.
– Scary?
– Scary.
