Parents are getting their kids’ drawings turned into tattoos and it’s rather cute

Tempted?

It’s customary to reserve every inch of real estate on the fridge door for drawings that the kids bring home from school. Yes, they might not be the most pleasant to look at, but it’s all theirs and for that, they deserve to be on display. However, we don’t think many parents would go as far as to get them tattooed on themselves permanently. Well, that’s what a lot of parents are now doing and it’s actually rather sweet. One dad explained the importance of his tattoos, saying that it all started after his son was diagnosed with autism.

“These are all the tattoos that my son’s drawn,” Craig Sears told CTV. “This is the way he copes with things; this is how he gets through life.” And his tattoo artist totally understands the motivation, saying: “His family is of the utmost importance to him. And what’s better than being able to wear your family, wear your memories, wear your love?”

You could display it on your refrigerator, or your arm. Would you let your child design a tattoo? This is totally a thing!

And Craig isn’t the only parent who’s been getting his child’s art inked on him permanently. Many other parents have been sharing pictures of the body art they have that was inspired by the imagination of their children.
