Agustina told Bored Panda that some time ago she tattooed her idol’s signature and so she thought it was a nice gesture to do something similar for her grandparents. She shared that they are very important to her. “I was going to make a drawing made by them but my sister and my parents had the idea of having my grandparents’ names written by themselves, I thought it was an excellent idea!”

It all started when Agustina asked both of her grandparents to write their names on a piece of paper

les pedi a mis abuelos que me escriban sus nombres “para un trabajo práctico de la facultad” pero en realidad eran para tatuármelos, y su reacción me la guardo para siempre. ♥️ pic.twitter.com/NcQ0uWUIkH max-width:700px; min-width:326px
