Dad Gets a Tattoo from an Unexpected Artist — His 4-Year-Old
We’ve all heard about parents getting inked to celebrate their little ones, but have you ever seen a dad let his child actually tattoo him? Well, that’s exactly what one father did, and it’s just about the sweetest thing you’ll see today.
Meet Tom Daniels
Tom Daniels is a tattoo artist and the owner of Ink Haven in Clearwater, Florida. Recently, he shared an adorable snapshot on social media of his four-year-old daughter, Lily, giving him a tattoo all on her own. Before the big moment, Tom made sure to let her practice with the tattoo machine sans needle, so she could get comfortable with its weight and movements while learning how to do it safely.
When it was all said and done, he ended up with the cutest little heart tattoo! The post garnered over 100,000 likes and was shared widely, but not everyone was on board. Shortly after posting, Tom had to take it down because someone reported it to Facebook as “graphic violence.” He re-uploaded the photo with a note explaining that while it’s not something you see every day, it’s certainly not abusive or violent. He was very careful and made sure to guide her every step of the way.
Sharing Passions with Kids
Just like any other artistic hobby, sharing passions with kids is a big part of parenting. Tom’s tattoos are a huge part of his life, and it’s wonderful that he found a way to bond with Lily through it. We often applaud other forms of creativity between parents and kids, so why not this one? It’s a special moment that resulted in a treasured tattoo.
Keeping an Open Mind
As parents, it’s essential to keep an open mind. Just because we might not fully understand something doesn’t mean it’s wrong. We should celebrate parents who are finding unique ways to involve their kids in their lives. As long as a child is safe, content, and loved, the specifics are less important.
