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.
Being three is an OK excuse for being a scratcher!

kids are better because they are not all concerned about “art” and shit. also, their relative lack of a concept of “permanent” or “life-long” would allow them to get their tattoo on without all these crazy worries about the end result

While I think it’s a terrible sweet sentiment, I find child worship truly banal. It is definitely a symbol of the connection between child and parent, which I completely appreciate. But outside of that…
Nothing at all.

I think your child should be able to at least trace something before you let them tattoo you.
Then when they can successfully colour between the lines, a second session.

awh, how adorable!
Will most artists agree to letting someone else tattoo while they watch?
I’m curious, my boyfriend wants me to tattoo XOXO on his wrist.
