WORDS & CONTEXT
Words & context
“a star to remind me of my home planet”
Remind A of B means to make A think of B. Tina chose a star so it would remind her of home. The star shape is a symbol of her home; it is not a picture of the planet's actual shape or color. The pink is simply Tina's own taste.
“I only told her, "Wait!" six times.”
Only means "just" or "no more than." Tina says "only six times" as if it were a small number, but she actually asked to stop six times: two water breaks, three walks, and one phone call. The humor lies in the gap between Tina's claim that she was brave and how the listener takes it. Her refers to the tattoo artist.
“the tattoo artist was the brave one”
The brave one means the person who was brave. Tina says she was brave, but Frank praises the tattoo artist, who put up with six interruptions. The punchline lightly flips Tina's bravado with a tease.
