Bob’s tattoo, realized by Chris at Freaks on Noland in Independence, MO, was drawn in part by his six-year-old daughter who did the heart, sun, flowers, and butterfly, with the bee being added by mom.

That is commitment to your child and partner, skins to that man 🙂
that’s amazing =]
Thats freaking rad. And done in my hometown, so bonus.
Aww, I love it!!
oh, so cute! love it!
awwwwww!
I dunno, man… it’s cute, but definitely not for me. I certainly wouldn’t condemn somebody for having their child’s artwork tattooed on them, but I wouldn’t do it myself either.
Those sweet years are gone so fast, this is a perfect way to always have a piece of your little girl. I always love these.
So cute! I think it looks pretty nice as well. In my opinion a tattoo of your child’s drawing is something really personal, only the person getting it can really feel its value.
that is so adorable. i love it.
I think that is too sweet. It’ll be awesome when the little girl see’s it when she’s older. It is a an awesome and very very sweet way to save your childs artwork.
That is just so cute! I’ve seen it done before and have already decided that my left upper arm is reserved for a tattoo of my son’s first ‘proper’ drawing (he’s two and a half so still in the scribbling stage). 😀 Bob’s daughter is quite the artist herself!
that’s cool, if i liked kids enough to have them i would consider doing something like that.
i too have saved part of my leg for my sons first drawing whatever that may be.
that’s adorable. and so sweet for him to get tattooed on him.
shiza, #13 – You took the words right out of my keyboard (-:
Well, this is pretty much the cutest thing ever. I love these kinds of tattoos 🙂
Awww. That’s truly adorable.
That’ll shut up a naysayer right quick.
“Who drew that, your eight-year-old kid?”
“She’s six.”
“…”
That is super cute!!
