Teen actress HAYDEN PANETTIERE reduced her mother to tears when she got a tattoo without her permission.
The sexy 18-year-old Heroes star only got the etching done a year ago and kept it hidden from her parent.
She says, "It’s a Leo symbol on my ankle. My mom didn’t see it for ages." The tattoo didn’t remain a secret for a long as an acting job intervened, revealing the hidden body art.
She continues: "Then, I was being body-scanned for a special effect on Heroes. And she saw it, tried to rub it off and suddenly I realised. Her eyes welled up."

A US billionaire has left £6million to her dog in her will.
Hotel magnate Leona Helmsley, who died aged 87, left the massive sum to her pet Trouble, but nothing to two of her grandchildren.
Helmsley famously spoiled Trouble, and would feed her gourmet meals cooked by chefs in her Park Lane Hotel in New York.
It is believed the two grandchildren who missed out on a slice of Helmsley’s fortune were ignored because they had failed to name any of their children after her late husband Harry.
Helmsley’s will, which also failed to include any of her 12 great-grandchildren, read: "When my dog dies, her remains shall be buried next to my remains in the Helmsley Mausoleum."

A waterless fountain has been erected in a British park.
The replica was built to replace the original Victorian water feature in Peckham Rye Park in South London, using a £2 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant.
Council officials claim the pink granite fountain was never going to be plugged into the water supply.
Southwark’s environment chief Lisa Rajan insisted: "The re-creation was never intended as a working fountain.
"It was designed as a monument to what was originally there in Victorian times." Park user Neil Slattery said: "Who on earth would go to all the trouble of putting in a fountain then not having water come out? It absolutely beggars belief - what a waste of money."
