The meaning behind making tattoos for children touched netizens.
Benjamin Lloyd is a famous tattoo artist in New Zealand, specializing in creating extremely impressive spray paint tattoos for children.
Benjamin became famous online starting in 2006, when he posted a photo of his friend’s 6-year-old son on social media. It is worth noting that this boy has a skull and rose tattoo on his arm and body.
At a glance, people will have a hard time distinguishing the real from the fake, because it looks like a real tattoo but is actually just a drawing.
In the photo Benjamin posted, he wrote that, if his post gets at least 50 likes, he will go to a children’s hospital and get tattoos to cheer up the children who are fighting the disease.
In just a few hours, Benjamin’s photo received more than 400 thousand likes. With no other choice, he was forced to keep his promise.
The kids after getting the tattoo were surprised at first but then became a lot more confident. “The worst part is that the kids don’t want to go to the bathroom after getting these tattoos,” says Benjamin.
It took Benjamin about 9 minutes to complete an amazingly realistic tattoo, using stencils and inkjet ink. In the case of concerns about the children’s health, he said it’s a non-toxic ink that’s easy to wash off after bathing.
It is known that Benjamin is not the first person to attract attention on social networks when creating fake tattoos for children. Before that, a mother named Shamekia Morris (29 years old) in Florida, USA also made fake tattoos on her 1-year-old son because she thought he looked cool.
