Being three is an OK excuse for being a scratcher!

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.

Nickk Leading on April 10th, 2008 at 6:57 pmWhy not?
Katrina on April 10th, 2008 at 6:58 pmawww, what a cutie pie.
fuus on April 10th, 2008 at 7:07 pmthats sweet :)
co on April 10th, 2008 at 7:10 pmTo be honest, I don’t think the kid will remember this and cherish it. But it is pretty cute!
Deggy on April 10th, 2008 at 8:00 pmawsome!
isaac on April 10th, 2008 at 8:03 pmi wish i had a son to tattoo me =(
That is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen. What a proud Dad!
mr.noo on April 10th, 2008 at 8:09 pmThe only thing I’d be concerned about is if the kid accidentally tattood himself. Other than that, cute. very cute.
Christian on April 10th, 2008 at 8:14 pmI’d want a tattoo like that from my kid. (:
Bendtheglass on April 10th, 2008 at 8:18 pmi agree with number 6, i want a kid so i can get an adorable tattoo :(
Uraniumhobo on April 10th, 2008 at 8:19 pmI would wait until their a bit older, to make and actual picture. however, i really really dont like kids, so i doubt it
Aiwass on April 10th, 2008 at 8:40 pmalthough, it is a cute idea
I’m digging the kid’s spiderman shirt.
deadite_666 on April 10th, 2008 at 8:45 pmWhat a great bunch of….lines.
Little Rude Girl on April 10th, 2008 at 8:46 pm@6 and @10 - you can borrow mine… although he’s not three years old… more like twenty-three…
przxqgl on April 10th, 2008 at 8:47 pmhe probably wont remember it but he will have these pictures when he’s older to show off about how he was the cutest little motherfather EVER
5am on April 10th, 2008 at 8:56 pmI see some vague pac man ghost shapes…anyone else??
nature223 on April 10th, 2008 at 8:58 pmnature223 - Nope, but I’m sure he was doing his damndest! Bless.
RooRaaah Crumbs on April 10th, 2008 at 9:09 pmkids 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
oppositronic on April 10th, 2008 at 9:12 pmthis makes me so proud of my son and grandson treasured moments
roseann on April 10th, 2008 at 9:19 pmWhile 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.
Phro on April 10th, 2008 at 10:33 pmthats awsome that meena more then any name tattoo to me awsome fucken awsome
zion on April 10th, 2008 at 10:40 pmlooks like cere has some competition…lol
E-Rich on April 10th, 2008 at 11:19 pmI 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.
Shaun on April 10th, 2008 at 11:50 pmit’s easy to cover up anyway
maria on April 11th, 2008 at 1:05 amawh, how adorable!
FuckingClassy on April 11th, 2008 at 1:33 amWill most artists agree to letting someone else tattoo while they watch?
I’m curious, my boyfriend wants me to tattoo XOXO on his wrist.
ah you naysayers are a miserable bunch! just you wait til you have kids and turn into baby-bores like the rest of us ;)
i would LOVE for my 7 year old daughter to tattoo on me, the closet i have is her writing her name on my wrist and having someone tattoo it over! and the same goes for my unborn son (when hes bigger obviously!), i wonder if i can convince my tattooist? :D
ladytwiglet on April 11th, 2008 at 4:05 am#22, maybe he can pass it off as some kind of funky rash lol.
I think it’s cute, but I’d rather have a pic to pin up on the fridge.
PuncturedPrincess on April 11th, 2008 at 4:48 ami don’t think there’s anything wrong with it
personally i’d rather spend time coloring, drawing, painting with my children.
Tsarik on April 11th, 2008 at 7:36 amWonderful, thats a livelong nice sign of connection child - parents :-) wonderful.
Stormchaser on April 11th, 2008 at 8:57 amawww, I think its very cute, and even if he doesnt remember that exact moment when he gets older… his dad can be like… hey… look at this. lol
Angie on April 11th, 2008 at 9:46 amThis is so much better than the lame plates my elementary school had us kindergartens kids design for our parents - our artwork is almost identical.
manic addict on April 11th, 2008 at 9:58 ami agree that the kid should be able to at least trace a little. but thats me not him and his kid. good for you two. i dont think the tattoo will be very noticeable later on if it even takes. then the kid can touch it up when he has some skill.
tartedpunk on April 11th, 2008 at 10:30 amI agree with #20 wholeheartedly.
xeni on April 11th, 2008 at 12:39 pmi know a guy whos sister got her 4 yr old son tattoed!…made me sick to hear it…some people are so idiotic. i dont see a problem with this though…kinda the other way around!
djion on April 11th, 2008 at 2:13 pm#26 Not everyone will have children. And having children does is not something that immediately changes your views.
More power to this guy if he will wear that tattoo with pride but personally I would never let anyone other than a professional tattoo artist tattoo me.
Bigbear on April 11th, 2008 at 9:41 pmPersonally I don’t like the tattoo, but I like the idea. I personally have my sister’s hand print tattooed on my shoulder. She’s my only sister and lucky to be born, after my Mum having two miscarriages. Its my first tattoo and I love it!
Rayne on April 11th, 2008 at 10:12 pmThat is so sweet. Although I’d personally have the kid wearing about 50 gloves incase he slipped. It’d be really nice to do a series of them as he gets older, kinda like an artistic height chart.
CrimsonKiss on April 12th, 2008 at 4:20 amThat kids hair is awesome!
katie on April 12th, 2008 at 8:25 am#34, that makes me want to vomit!
katie on April 12th, 2008 at 8:25 amThat is really sweet.
Helen on April 12th, 2008 at 9:41 amWhen I have kids I would like each of them to do a tattoo on me.
^_^
Aawww, I think it’s sweet :)
Cat on April 12th, 2008 at 9:43 amHe’s more professional than most scratchers. He’s wearing gloves, using a real machine, sterile needles, & working in an actual shop without carpets, pets or ashtrays full to the brim. He’s light years ahead of many kitchen magician.
Funny, he’s only three, & already he hates tribal armbands & Miami Ink,…
