'And still to this day I'm addicted going to Kmart every chance I get but wishing [cafe] was still around here so I could take my daughter there too. But the McDonald's in the food court will have to do [laughing crying emoticon].

Initially she was afraid to get the tattoo - but she finally plucked up the courage to get the ink done of her favourite retail giant.

'I was told I wouldn't do it and that I couldn't do it, I was told I would chicken out and I did for over a year but now it's done,' she said.

'I'm not regretting it one bit. I go back once this is healed to do any touch ups needed and to add the "addict" part.

'Others will look at me and go "you bloody idiot why?!?" But I will continue to smile and say "because I can".'

The social media post was later republished on Kmart Unhacks & Roasts, attracting more than 1,500 comments.

One responded: 'If she doesn't get discounts from this she's missing out on a huge opportunity.'

Another joked: 'She will be sued for Copyright now.'

And another said: 'Hope she gets sponsorship for that momentous mistake.'
