A woman is going viral on the internet after revealing that her daughter surprised both her parents in the most emotional way—by turning their doodled bunny drawings into tattoos.
In a post on Threads, @fleeberhaven shared that her daughter had asked each parent, separately, to draw a bunny.
Newsweek reached out to @fleeberhaven in the comments section of the post.
“She asks us to do weird s*** all the time so ok,” the poster wrote.
What neither parent realized was that she’d asked them both for a bunny sketch. It wasn’t until she revealed her plan that they understood why: she had taken each drawing and had them tattooed side‑by‑side on her skin.
The simple line‑drawn rabbits sit next to each other—adorably uneven, unmistakably personal and strikingly similar.
One commenter even tried to guess which bunny belonged to which parent before getting the surprise of a “plot twist: both moms!”
For the family, the gesture carried deep meaning. “We’ve always called her Bunny,” the poster wrote. “And she and I each have special bunnies from childhood. SOBBED.”
At the time of writing, the post has received over 28,000 likes and shares. In the comments, people shared their own stories of memorial tattoos, family signatures and the unexpected ways children honor their parents.
One user admitted they’d briefly panicked when they assumed the daughter was a young child, only to realize the tattoo belonged to an adult—“a bit of mental whiplash,” they joked.
Another commenter, reflecting on their own loss, shared that when their mother was diagnosed with ALS, she wrote herself a note and placed it above the kitchen sink. Decades later, after both parents had passed, the user had that note tattooed in their mom’s handwriting.
Others described their efforts to capture family connections in ink—from trying (and failing) to secretly obtain parents’ signatures for a surprise tattoo to designing pieces from old photographs and maiden‑name signatures.
One user proudly described their “lovebug” tattoo: a ladybug with heart‑shaped spots paired with their mom writing love and their dad writing bug.
The bunny drawings themselves also sparked fascination. “The fact that the bunnies are so alike is tripping me out,” one person wrote.
Another described how seeing the tattoos brought them to tears, sharing that they had called their own daughter “Bunny” for 31 years because of the way she wiggled her tiny infant nose.
Last year, they even threw her a bunny‑themed baby shower—and now she has a son of her own, whom she affectionately calls her “baby Bunny boy.”
