Continuing in the trend of many very young tattoo artists, let me introduce you to Xavier, Aaron Prosser‘s three year old son doing his very first tattoo on his dad at Whitsunday Tattooing in Airlie Beach, Australia. I know, as always there will be a variety of naysayers about this, but I think it’s charming, and something that they’ll both value for life.

ah you naysayers are a miserable bunch! just you wait til you have kids and turn into baby-bores like the rest of us 😉
i would LOVE for my 7 year old daughter to tattoo on me, the closet i have is her writing her name on my wrist and having someone tattoo it over! and the same goes for my unborn son (when hes bigger obviously!), i wonder if i can convince my tattooist? 😀

#22, maybe he can pass it off as some kind of funky rash lol.
I think it’s cute, but I’d rather have a pic to pin up on the fridge.

i don’t think there’s anything wrong with it

This is so much better than the lame plates my elementary school had us kindergartens kids design for our parents – our artwork is almost identical.

i agree that the kid should be able to at least trace a little. but thats me not him and his kid. good for you two. i dont think the tattoo will be very noticeable later on if it even takes. then the kid can touch it up when he has some skill.

#26 Not everyone will have children. And having children does is not something that immediately changes your views.
More power to this guy if he will wear that tattoo with pride but personally I would never let anyone other than a professional tattoo artist tattoo me.

Personally I don’t like the tattoo, but I like the idea. I personally have my sister’s hand print tattooed on my shoulder. She’s my only sister and lucky to be born, after my Mum having two miscarriages. Its my first tattoo and I love it!

That is so sweet. Although I’d personally have the kid wearing about 50 gloves incase he slipped. It’d be really nice to do a series of them as he gets older, kinda like an artistic height chart.

He’s more professional than most scratchers. He’s wearing gloves, using a real machine, sterile needles, & working in an actual shop without carpets, pets or ashtrays full to the brim. He’s light years ahead of many kitchen magician.
Funny, he’s only three, & already he hates tribal armbands & Miami Ink,…

I think that this is very sweet. Who’s to say that he isn’t feeding the creativity of the next huge name in tattooing? I mean we have parents who encourage their 3 year olds to be violin players….why not encourage children in other artistic venues? I’m all for encouraging creativity of any kind. This is beautiful.
