Hi. i am a31 year old tattoo artist raising my first kid he is 1 and1/2 i am just wondering if anyone out there has had any expiences with there kids and being raised around our tattoo enviroment...we have been putting tempory tattoos on him since he was like 3 months old and now i am questioning wether this is a good idea. he seems to miss them when he doesnt have any on.i would just like to hear from fellow artist who have raised kids of there own ,,expierences funny storys,advise..thanks INKDMN
oooh, fun topic. My wife is an infant teacher, and while Im not an artist I am immersed in the tattoo world. We havnt put any temp tattoos on our 22 month old girl, but she does draw tattoos on herself in tha bath. She also plays "Im going to work" "where little girl?" "tattoo shop". Whenever she sees the flamingo in her book she presses her arm on the page trying to get the tattoo. heh. Lots of other fun stories, more when i get more time!
