While some people woke up on Tuesday, got dressed and ready for work, Busy arose with an urge to get inked. So, she texted her Kelly, who’s also a New York Times best-selling author, to see what she was up to—and documented the whole experience on her Instagram.

Kelly also chimed in on Busy’s social media play-by-play: “I came to get a tattoo and texted Bus, and she was like, ‘You know what, this morning I woke up and I wanted a tattoo.’ So here we are getting tattoos.”

Despite the impulse move, Busy was not worried about the pain of getting permanently inked at all. “I’m not actually nervous. I had two kids daughters Birdie, 9, and Cricket, 5 with no pain drugs. I’m fine.”
