SHE didn’t mind letting her mum decorate her stomach with fake tattoos at a garden party.

But Katie didn’t anticipate that her sunscreen wouldn’t work as well on her changeable figure.

And this, combined with the strength of the sun, meant that she ended up getting burned – with little marks on her belly where the stickers used to be.

Katie took to TikTok to share the hilarious situation, as he shared a clip of his mother putting her tattoos in place at the 4th of July celebration.

“Letting your mom get silly little 4th of July tattoos on your stomach without thinking anything about it…” she wrote over the top.

Katie then showed off the after-effects of belly tattoos, writing: “Getting sunburned and realizing you have maternity photos in a week.”

“Help! Who has a good concealer recommendation?” Katie added in the video’s caption.

People quickly commented on the clip, with one writing: “Grandma and baby’s first art project.

“I laughed so hard,” added another.

“But it’s still so cute!” a third commented.

“To be honest I would just go ahead and do a funny shoot haha,” someone suggested.

“This will be a great story to tell one day,” another laughed.

I’m 5 months pregnant, with a 60cm waist and a flat stomach – even the doctors are surprised, I won’t need maternity clothes

“I’m crying,” wrote another person.

To which Katie responded, “It’s so bad!

“Spray tan didn’t help! I don’t want to have to cover up the swelling!”

“They’re also so hard to leave,” sighed another.

“I got burned on my tattoos too!”

Others recalled their own hilarious situations, with one writing: “We did this a few years ago in the bedroom and she ended up going into labor and was born with her tattoos still on!”

“My grandmother did the same thing to me the day before I went into labor with permanent marker,” another added.

“Trying to take it out made me go into labor!”

As a third said: “We drew Sharpie all over my mom, she went into labor the next day and couldn’t even see the horrible things we wrote on her lower belly and upper thighs!”

The importance of sunscreen in your skin care routine

Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez – known as Dray – revealed why you should wear sunscreen.

The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference – and this is important for all ages – is to protect your skin from the sun, Andrea emphasized.

“The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation,” she continued, not because you “aren’t using a jazzy serum or putting 90 different things on your face every day.”

“If you’re not in your 20s, do it now.”

But she said using sunscreen alone isn’t enough. Andrea recommended that you also wear sun-protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats and long sleeves, and not spend too much time in the sun.

Doing this throughout your life—and year-round, not just during the summer or on sunny days—”will reduce the visible signs of photoaging,” Andrea said.

These are wrinkles, confused pigmentation and sagging skin.

Although there were more helpful comments from those who suggested how Katie could fix those unfortunate sunburn marks.

“As a photographer, this is a quick Photoshop fix! Don’t worry too much, Mom!” one wrote.

“Vitamin E oil in your lotion and apply to sunburned areas = beautiful tan the next day,” said another.

‘Place blush where the stickers were to blend it in with the rest of the pink and hide the shapes, then cover the entire area with light bronzer or Sally Hanson’s spray leg concealer to help reduce the pink!’ a third suggested.
