Earlier this month I posted a nine year old tattoo artist, and I’ve posted about young “artists” before that as well, but I wanted to share these two photos from Spirytus who got tattooed by his six year old daughter Nadia on his 29th birthday, a red heart and her name on his knee. When she was four she also tattooed a cat with whiskers on him.

I had to skip past most of the comments, the diatribe was getting old.
1. I think Zerstoerte was right.. it is funny that people keep referring to Shannon as a girl. HA!
2. I think it’s a great tattoo, one he can wear proudly! 🙂

I love how some of the people on here refer to shannon as a female when spewing their crimespeak. Good stuff. I effing love this idea. I would love to have my kid tattoo me, if it werent still lodged within my testes. But, in the event it wins the national swimming tournament, and grows up enough to draw badly, I would like to do the same thing. Its a good bonding experience, seems like it would boost the kids self-esteem, like “yay I just created this and daddy loves it enough to color himself with it. Im the rockingest toddler on the block!” No more of this bickering dudes and darlings. Wheres the love?

My problem here is with the people badmouthing the tattoo. there right letting a child handle needles isnt safe. But its the art of the child herself drawing the picture on her father that gives it the love and symbolism. It wouldnt “feel” the same if you got an artist to trace, it may be better, or safer but not as close to the heart and loving.

First I have to say this is an absolutly wonderful idea. The father is sharing his passion with hs daughter, the bond that results must be amazing and who knows, she may grow up to be a great tattoo artist. Secondly in response to the idea that a six year old doing a tattoo will encourage her to want a tattoo herself- I was transfixed by tattoos by that age, whats so bad about that? How can anyone get so pissed and offended by this when there a lot worse things happeneing to children today?

Seriously this is not a big deal to let a young child tattoo you. First off,because there is technically danger in letting your kid handle a tattooing machine, im sure that the parents have gone over ‘safety’ with the child. More so for their kid than themselves.
Second off, I dont know how many of you have actually talked to kids that have tattooed parents before, but most of them will tell you that as much fun as it was to get to tattoo, they didnt enjoy it alot. The machines are heavy, their arms and hands get sore. They get bored of it. They get tired. Most kids that tattoo their parents do it for the parents, not for themselves obviously, and after the first time most of them arnt begging to do it again.
Most people I bet that are so against this are most likely with out children of their own, and the people that say its encouraging the child to have tattoos, if anything its encouraging the child to be accepting of everyone no matter how they choose to modify themselves. And if you still think its a bad example for kids, why then by being a parent and just having tattoos let alone your child tattooing you, would that not be a bad example?

30: I wasn’t going to touch this at all–and I’m only posting here once and then I’m not planning on returning (I was browsing sites about young tattooists)
Your list.. if you have children–you’ve probably realized by now if a child WANTS to do something–the child will. The more you keep them away the more they want to break the rules. That doesn’t mean give them alcohol and drugs and porn… it means raise them in the way that they are meant to go.. and they will make their mistakes and learn from what they are taught and see. There’s nothing wrong with encouragement. This is all simply for a chld to experience it. This is her father she is tattooing–who is watching her every move and helping her, making sure to talk to her and educate her… you don’t have to get a tattoo from a kid–none of you. BUT if you had a child.. maybe you’d realize how memorable this would be for a child/parent relationship. It’s touching… lovely… and encouraging.. this doesn’t mean they will begin a career this young–it just opens up their minds… makes them feel ‘on top of the world’.
Argue with what I’ve said–doesn’t matter to me… I haven’t put anyone down… I’ve made a comment..

I have to say. This man getting the tattoo has OBVIOUS experience with them before – he’s covered, chances are he knows the risks and has gone over safety issues with his daughter beforehand. He probably had her practising on paper or some shit first off.
And to those of you saying that this will increase her want for a tattoo you are probably right, BUT again, he is obviously experienced- he wont let her get any stupid shit she was desperate for when she was 15, he’d tell her that a tattoo is forever and should be something to cherish. Not a memorial to your favourite band at that moment in time.
If anything, this is probably the way to go if you want a tattoo, she’ll grow up educated in what they are and what can go wrong – she’ll probably go to a decent artist when she’s 18, not some shitty mall parlor.
It’s a beautiful idea, and an excellent way to cherish your kids childhood.
I get it, a kid playing with a tattoo machine is a bit like WTF but again, he’s probably gone through safety issues. You’ve gotta look at it from all angles before you make comments, and for those saying the tattoo’s ugly?
GROW UP. There are PLENTY of hideous tats out there without any meaning, this is full of it, in a few years he’ll look back and love that it’s ‘hideous’ because it’ll be his way of seeing his little girl as a little girl again. It’ll never be ugly in his eyes because its his kid, it’ll always be beautiful.
Kudos to both of them.

Woops he’s obviously not covered my minds not working [linking to old pictures.] But I’m sure he has some experience, no one without any would leap for their 6 year old daughter to do it.
Anyway.
Most of my point still stands.

Hi,
I absolutely love the tattoo and the memories that will stay with it. I’m 42 and just recently allowed my 16 year old to tattoo me (a very small dove) and have never felt prouder. However, I’m now told its against the law so I’m confused. She’s been tattooing on skins for about a year, follows stringent health and safety guidance, uses disposables etc… I personally can’t see the problem with it. Any ideas? I can’t see any UK laws on what age you need to be to tattoo.

that is awsome, i love it, i have a few tats and was thinking about getting my 4 year old to draw on a piece of paper then stencil the pic up and tat it on myself. after seeeing this so many thought go through my head… i dont think i would be completly comfotable letting het do it to me that young but if she grew up to be an artist or interested in tats, id let het have a stab (excuse the pun lol) i guess all i have left that id like to add is that i would be very proud to wear that if i were steve… NEVER CONFORM ….. lol
