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.

What is so wrong about letting a child tattoo their parent? Obviously it is all right with her dad, so why is everyone making such a big deal out of it?
fathom – Even if this is ‘encouraging the child to get a tattoo’, she won’t be able to get one until it is legal, and since her father has tattoos himself, she will probaly know more about the long term concenquences of tattooing then someone who grew up without a parent with tattoos.
The girl isn’t “playing with needles”. She is under her father’s close supervision and i’m sure he walked her through the proper safety proccations. She ISN’T’ running around with a bunch of hyperdermic needles clutched in her hands, she is using a tattoo gun under close supervision. Every child is diffrent, and it obviously takes a mature and well manored child to me able to handle such equitment. Obviously her father knows his daughter can handle it, and who better to judge? He is the one being tattoed after all.
I think the tattoo is adorable and it will be treasured for years to come. wonderful job, Nadia!
Shannon, i’d like to see a picture of the cat with wiskers. 🙂

Hmmmm, from my own experience working with one of the world’s leading female tattoo artists, and knowing her children quite well… Just because someone may apply a tattoo on a loved one before the tattooist is of legal age, it does not mean that person will continue persuing the art of tattoos. In fact if nothing else this child will most likely grow up with an understanding of cross-contamination and bloodborne illness safety long before her other friends. She will probably be more cautious of unsafe sex as well simply because of the blood-safety teaching her father undoubtedly preaches to her like religion. If anything she will be more accepting of people of varying colors, traditions, ideals. Her viewpoints on the world will probably shape the collective consciousness of our societal evolution. She (and other children like her) will be the generation that takes care of many of us when we are older and retiring. She is our future and she is being looked after, loved and nurtured. Can we say the same for other children? Around the world? In our own backyards?
As a modification artist, a small business owner, and a parent… I think it is ridiculous for someone else to judge from a picture how tragic a child’s life will be. Absurd to place your misguided beliefs about what it takes to be normal and successful in society. And I can’t fathom the audacity it takes to make you think your opinion even matters to the child or parent of the child. Especialy when most of the people posting negative feedback on here admit to not having or wanting children of their own.
A child tattooing her father in a controlled and safe setting is far less dangerous for her and her father than allowing your children (or yourself) to eat prepared fast food. I guarantee that child has a better understanding of how to avoid spreading germs than the kid who is cooking your unhealthy food with the same dirty hands he just touched your germ-ridden money with. Guess what people, if the needle is new, the kid is wearing gloves, and the reciient is a biological donor of the same dna already flowing through that child…. the odds of this act being unsafe are less than the odds of you catching something at your local health department. I know… I’ve trained health inspectors… be very afraid. And for those of you ignorant to tattooing (there’s usually three “t”s in the word if you are American), the needle does not even penetrate very far. And a better way of viewing it would be thinking of several safety pins or bug pins grouped together. It isn’t a long hypodermic like you would get for dental anaesthesia… it’s a group of pins… like the bug pins little kids display captured insect carcasses with in shadow boxes. So now are you not going to let them mount bugs either? Because the likelihood of something happening from that is much greater than from a tattoo grouping.
Odds are dad did most of the set-up for this tattoo anyway. Odds are the novelty will probably wear off soon too and she’ll persue being a lawyer or pastor or something else you approve of. That’s the funny part of it all.
You know what else is funny? Most of you opinionated people seem to think Shanon is a female. What if you found out he was a male and the creator of this website? Would your aggression towards his opinions change any? In any case it is funny how quickly you all jumped to the “she is opininated” “she is a slut bitch” comments….

Has anyone realised that Shannon is actually a GUY? Really, loves, you aren’t too observant are you?
But you should be forgiven. That tattoo is a hideous distraction.
There is a HUGE gap between sentimental art and just plain doodling.
This is some damn irresponsible parenting. And if anyone replies to this; don’t give me shit about child abuse and whatever else. This is disgusting in it’s context, not as a generalisation, so try to think of a better constructed argument.
It takes time to become a tattoo artist, and that’s for an adult. She’s six. She doesn’t know what she’s doing nor would she fully realise the implications and permanence of her actions.
Furthermore, I doubt that any six year old would refuse something like this; thus the father is exploiting her naivety a little, wouldn’t you agree?
As for the tattoo itself, the placement is ridiculous and it’s just ugly. No matter how much I loved children; I would never raise one to six and ask them to ink me.
Crayon pictures of a girl holding her Dad’s hand. That’s adorable. Not this.
Family bonding? Wouldn’t it be better for the girl to grow up a little and have a little more understanding of the concept before doing something so atrocious? It would still be equal in sentimental value; just a lot more responsible.
It seems to be the guy is just scared of loosing the bond.

I personally find it hilarious that so many people have such a deep seeded issue with father/daughter bonding, yet we take it with a grain of salt when Steve-O gets a retchid tattoo of a “smiley face” in the back of a jeep going 50 down an unpaved road on a safari. Telll me what the tattoo means to him – “I made a few thousand dollars on this ugly thing?” It’s self disprespect, but it’s acceptable. Why? Because he’s old enough to vote, look and porn and go to war.
But when another man wants something unconventional, yet deeply meaningful (and isn’t it only unconventional because a six year old did it?) he is an “unfit parent”, crazy and everything else in between that this blog as brought upon him.
It’s what the man WANTED. Isn’t that a good enough reason for this to be an “acceptable situation”?
I am however, going to play devil’s advocate and pose the question:
What happens when the girl thinks that she IS fit to do this on anyone else? Please keep in mind that professional tattoo guns are not the only way to leave your mark on someone. What if she goes with what MANY middle school children do and cut themselves and fill it with pen ink, or partakes in doing this to another child? Is it still ok that she learned? Sometimes all it takes is “Guess what my dad taught me!” … and that can escalate into anything. Peer pressure is the most influential and horrible monster that any child can be exposed to.
I personally find it hilarious that so many people have such a deep seeded issue with father/daughter bonding, yet we take it with a grain of salt when Steve-O gets a retchid tattoo of a “smiley face” in the back of a jeep going 50 down an unpaved road on a safari. Telll me what the tattoo means to him – “I made a few thousand dollars on this ugly thing?” It’s self disprespect, but it’s acceptable. Why? Because he’s old enough to vote, look and porn and go to war.

It’s amazing how many people got offended by this.
As you can see quite clearly in the picture, the child is being VERY CLOSELY supervised. It’s like having a mechanic’s daughter help tighten screws or pass tools. Everything is obviously clean, proper hygeine is being tended to.
I really don’t understand why people think it’s so risky for the girl? It’s not likely that she’s going to hurt herself.
As for the sentimentality…it’s absolutely lovely. I personally wouldn’t get it done, I don’t want m body to be a canvas for my children in that way, I’d rather have their names and handprints tattooed on me. Despite this, it is still a very lovely show of love on both parties, something to cherish and talk about in the years to come.

I am so glad there are parents out there that let their kids do this, they are the future generation of tatooists.
so what if the tattoo isnt perfect, they’re only kids and i think its so cute and sentimental to whomever gets the tattoo.
i say we need more parents like this!!

The beauty is the imperfection. I think that this is one of the most beautiful and meaningful tattoos I’ve seen. Your horrible if you think that this father is going to regret this. The love he has for his daughter is everlasting. As far is safety is concerned what exactly do you think the child is going to do? She’s not going to accidently stab herself in the eye with the needle. Children understand the concept of danger.
And how do you justify going on someone’s own blog and criticisizing them? It’s Shannon’s blog so she can post whatever she damn well pleases and if your that against this tattoo I suggest you look up the word sentimental in the dictionary.

This is so sweet it almost makes me cry. If I were that guy, I would feel special beyond words if my 6-year-old child took so much effort to learn my art and tattoo me. This is incredible.

I think this is really cute; I’ve seen something similar before: a little girl wrote her name and the tattoo artist copied it onto the paper they use to get the image traceable on the skin (not sure what the paper’s called…). That way, that artist was using the needle, but the image was still the daughter’s handwriting (a little safer).
I’m lacking tattoos, and stumbled upon this while looking for ideas…as I’m planning on getting my first soon, and I’m shocked at how horrible some people consider tattoos to be. I think they’re a wonderful way of expressing yourself artistically and in a permanent manner. What’s so wrong with expressing yourself? If you have to be trashy to express yourself…it’s only because “upper class” people are too stiff to do it.

more power to them, I think it’s awesome
I wish my father and mother took the time out for me and let me do that (or something like) then you could look back and be “ya, I was a kid once”
anyways my two cense take it or leave it..
