Madi Ford, 28, a tattoo artist based in Missoula, Missouri — not the Montana one — gave an epic Christmas gift that didn’t require wrapping paper: custom tattoos for her entire family. Encouraged by a dad who had the emotional range of a supportive Instagram influencer, Madi turned a normal December 26 into a tattoo marathon starting at 10 a.m. Her dad flexed his new daruma doll tattoo, stepmom sported a red-headed nurse tribute, and family members traveled as far as three hours to Missoula for this ink fest. Madi’s crusade to replace boring presents with skin art now has everyone questioning their sweater collections.
