AN impulsive woman has been stuck with a Latin quote on her body forever.
She randomly decided to get a tattoo but didn’t research what it meant beforehand.
Elaina (@elaina.gator) wasn’t prepared to get the permanent body art she ended up with.
She posted a TikTok video after she got inked, exposing herself for her mistake.
The speechless woman held the camera close to her face as she mulled over what happened.
“POV: you impulsively got a tattoo that you didn’t research,” her caption read.
“Now you have Kansas’ state motto tattooed permanently down your spine.”
The motto: “Ad Astra per Aspera.”
Elaina’s new Latin body art means: “To the stars through difficulties.”
Although getting this tattoo was an accident, she was thankful it wasn’t Nebraska’s motto.
In the comments section of her video, Elaina clarified to her viewers that she liked the quote.
However, she had no idea it was connected to the state.
“I literally have the exact tattoo, but I”m from Kansas,” one woman admitted.
Another TikTok user said: “I have it on my ankle. I’m glad to know I’m not alone.”
“It’s not our fault their motto is so dang good,” Elaina responded.
“No one in Kansas knows what the state motto is. So, you do you, bestie,” a supportive fan remarked.
An encouraging follower commented: “Honestly makes it cooler.”
“It’s a good and beautiful quote, though,” a passionate person proclaimed.
