Mildred J. Hill is the songwriter responsible for the classic and very well-known tune, Happy "Birthday to you." She wrote this song with composer and sister, Patty Hill and it was published in 1893. And over the course of her lifetime, she and her sister were inducted into The Songwriter's Hall of Fame. Today is Mildred's birthday and we're going to celebrate with these sweet tattoos and of course, a few interesting birthday facts.
