It's sad that people would even try to consider this to be an act of child abuse. You know what SHOULD be considered child abuse? When parents force their religion and idealistic views on their children and punish them for questioning their beliefs or whenever they attempt to think for themselves. It's psychological abuse and a form of brainwashing. It's not like he was forcing her to do it. He even let her decide what the tattoo was going to be. This man is a fantastic father and should not be shamed for encouraging his daughter to persue a career that he can teach her himself, rather than her having to be in debt to greedy student loani companies. This is an act of unconditional love, not an act of abuse. People need to stop judging others over things they don't find to be personally acceptable and focus on their own lives.

How could this ever be called child abuse. This dad showed his love and let his daughter tattoo his skin. That's true love and affection. I might see it differently if he tattooed her without her consent or against her will. That would be child abuse. I would let Ana do the exact same thing. Pull your heads out America. You're a bunch of Pussies now.

This isn't even close to child abuse not even neglect. The father is monitoring and guiding her through it and making sure she is safe. He is allowing her to explore her creativity and expanding skills. Child abuse would be givingredients her the needle and saying there you go. I applaud this father for allowing her to expand her horizon and giving her more than TV or video games to keep her occupied. He I'd doing what most parents should. Spending quality time and sharing interests. It his body and frankly 8 think she did a wonderful job.

To all of you morons thinking this is child abuse,you are the biggest,dumbest,and most jealous mother fuckers I have ever met,this is NOT child abuse,this is a father who is teaching his little princess his trade,so when he needs help,or passes on to the next world,he will be leaving his legacy to her and her future kids and husband,I went with my father to construction sites when I was 5-7 years old and helped him cut 2x4's,put up dry wall and knock walls down (which was my favorite part because I loved breaking things down as a kid),shooting a nail gun into the door frames and spaces in the walls for support beams,I would love to do all of that again to spend time with my father,but he's 74 years old and retired,survived a heart attack and dropped smoking and drinking,not for just me,but for all 10 of his kids (8 boys 2 girls 3 ex wives) and I'm the youngest of them all,ranging 21 aka me to 50+,so you dumbasses get your heads out of your asses and don't talk shit about a father like him teaching his kid to take up the trade,this is something I'd love to have my future kid(s) do to me and have it as a permanent part of my life! So those who said yes...you know where the door is,GET THE HELL OFF OF THIS POLL OR SEE IT CORRECTLY!

I think it's the most beautiful thing between father & daughter that kind of bond, not many people experience that?

So adorable :)

I wish I that I had when I was younger a father that was bonding like that with me. This little girl is growing up knowing a father that loves her, trusts her and is nurturing her artist side. How many of us can say that. He also has a memory to last a lifetime and one that she will remember as she gets old and he grows older. This will be something at the end of his age they will look back on and share a last smile and tear.

First off crazy to call it child abuse because she is not getting a tattoo on herself he was totally supervising her the entire time it's no more than take a child to work day which a lot of adults do and let them touch some of the equipment in their jobs supervised of course I'm sure there's a lot of cosmetologists out there that let their daughters or Sons run the blow dryer just for an example

I do not think this is child abuse at all... I think it's awesome that he is taking time out to teach his child something that one day could be a profession for her.... I could see it being child abuse if he was putting the tattoo on her but its the other way around.... People need to lighten up... Seriously

I think that's AWESOME! I've let my oldest son tatt me & would let my daughter in a few years. Kids LOVE to emulate their parents in one way or another, especially when they are younger. On top of that, why wouldn't you want to broaden your child's mind with art?

I dont think its abuse im sure he has taught her how to handle the needle she is 4 and not 1 i think it was good because he is spending time with his daughter and enjoying it...The world fail to realize there isnt too many men in their daughters lives so when u see a man being in his daughter life you salute him for teying its hard with a girl

How sad, the world is. How wonderful the opportunity for a young lady to spend quality time with dad. My dad had his own concrete business and worked all the time. He allowed me to go along once in awhile and even paid me for the day. I got to ride in his big trucks, hold the end of the measuring tape and carry the thermos. When I was 12 he supervised, and let me drive his 175 loader up in our field so he could throw fence posts in the bucket. I would love to have just one of those days again, he passed away when I was 15 and that was a long time ago but I still have the happy memories of our time spent together! It is important for children to better know their parents and share that kind of time. As we grow, the more we know about our parents the more we understand ourselves.

Absolutely absurd, what abuse is there to a father who is dedicated not only to his daughter/father relationship but as well as his profession, no abuse here, just people of high authority with nothing better to do with their tax paid time. Thanks. Best of wishes to the young father, trying to be the best with what he has to offer in this life.
P.S.
False accusations of abuse should be held to a criminal standard as well especially in this father's case.

That's where you get that 1%.

The man is obviously a proud father of an artist. How many people still have all their kids artwork from church, pre school or grand school. This man will never lose this. " here daddy, i drew this for you! Come on now. I myself would pay well for an art piece done on me by this young artist. Whoever started crap about this and tried to claim child abuse is a low life judgemantal hypocrite scum bag piece of crap waste of flesh that needs to be kicked in the crotch for real. People that start trouble like this are the very reason there are a sickening amount of innocent parents who have had their kids taken ..if the system would start handing out harsher fines and jail sentences for FALSIFYING INFORMATION , maybe people will learn to not judge anybody and keep their nose where it belongs, in their own damn business

As you can see she is a true artist in the making.

Where are the comments from people who said it is child abuse. I am really curious to know where they got that conclusion from. This dad has a very special bond with his daughter now...and when she is 25 and looks at his arm, she will see his love for her! Go dad! What a talented girl, she's lucky her dad has a shop so she can SAFELY practice her skills!

I think the story was corrupt. Obviously this poll is showing the opposite of what the story tells. Also, the definition of child abuse is physical maltreatment or sexual molestation of a child. FYI
I think it is fantastic that young people are encouraged to be artists, Kudos to you making it permanent.

People who think this is child abuse is fucking retarded. I would totally let my two kids tattoo me. There's nothing wrong with this he watch every inch of her doing it in his shop. And I think its so beautiful that his daughter did a strawberry on his arm. Her and him will never forget that moment. So all of you people think its abuse get the fuck over it mind your own damn business.

How the fuck is this child abuse? Its his kid, people need to shut the fuck up and mind their own business.

Dude, if you EVER see this, you're doing awesome and she's beautiful! Keep it up!

It's none of our business! We need to stop worrying about everybody else and what they are doing and worry about ourselves and our own. It's a tattoo, get over it. He supervised her, no harm. It's not like he tattoo'd her people! When she turns 12 and is asked what is your best best memory she's going to smile huge and say the day my daddy let me tattoo a strawberry on him. And I bet at the age of 21 it will be the same response. It's really sad when we have reached a point in society that nobody will mind their business when needed however a fight can break out and everyone will pull out their phones and record it and just watch doing nothing while a 2yo watches his mom get beaten up. We really need to get our priorities straight!!

Man, I seen AND been through child abuse!! If you think this is it... I'd have to call you a dumb stupid idiot. Y'all need to quit with that bullcrap. On the cool, in what way, shape, or form is this child abuse. I would strait up hug this man if I ever met him becase that little gurl was probably happy as can be when her father let her tattoo him like that. Shoot, he bonding with her, and teaching her a wonderful talent, and teaching her something she could want to do as a job when she older. And if she ever wanted to take on that job, I'd find out where her store is and ask her to give me a yellow rose tattoo on my arm because she'd have more experience than most the tattoo artists that I know. So therefore, leave that dad alone he's better at his job as a father than my own. So all of y'all haters can go somewhere else.
Debria wiggins - 9 years ago
How is it child abuse it no different then her doing it with a marker or pen it just don't wash off people need to grow up at least he's being a dad n teaching his daughter something that she interested in
We noticed that so far none of the people who voted yes have commented at all. We would really like to know exactly what it is about this that is abusive in anyway. Big Jeff has been a professional tattoo artist for 36 years. Those people who voted yes should educate themselves on the tattoo industry before making judgement. Under supervision, there is nothing dangerous or unhealthy about this! We stand up and applaud this dad! His daughter will learn so many wonderful qualitys from this. Self confidence for one thing. We see only positive in this situation. Nothing negative at all!! Right On, Dad! Good for you!!

So because he's spending time, bonding , and teaching her... Not to mention holding a piece of his 4 yr old little girl on him forever... He's an abusive parent? Here's an idea... Let's go after those who aren't spending time, bonding and teaching their kids; and leave the ones who are alone. Let him be a parent! Too many people now days who don't give a crap what their kid is doing, to put someone down who does care!

Those that think this is child abuse probably don't have special bonding moments like this with their kid(s). Seriously, lighten up, not everything is child abuse. My kids are too old to dpank, but you probably think spanking kids is child abuse too. Children need to be corrected and needs to be done in whatever way gets the child's attention. But you probably let your children run rampant.....

shane - 9 years ago
I totally think this is okay. Me being a tattoo artist my children are always curious as to my trade. I believe people that consider this child abuse may be thinking of child labor laws, since the child performed a tattoo inside of a tattooing business. I'm sure the father isn't compensating his child for the tattoo other than praising her, and I don't think the child is doing an apprenticeship under her father yet. So everyone should just back off this great father.
Jodi - 9 years ago
It's obvious that the percentage of people who are in support of this father is much larger than the percentage that believe this is "child abuse". Please. This is ridiculous. I think it's amazing what he did for her, not enough kids get to have bonding moments like this. This is not child abuse, it is a creative way of making a lasting memory and showing his daughter how much he loves her.

Now what part of this is child abuse???? People love drama!! Makes me sick... People out here killing and tormenting they kids but this is abuse,, y'all sad!! She's drawing,, being introduced to art,, and understanding the dynamics of her father's hobby or work.. By the way which is so cute
Now this makes me sick!! How can something so priceless be CHILD ABUSE!!?? Some key points, The father is bonding with his daughter. Showing her what he does for a living. He is nurturing her imagination and curiosity in a way he understands. Smdh would it still be called that if the child used a pen, a crayon, or a marker even?? I'd let my kids tat a little something on me mainly because it's their art in a way that would never be lost and I can take it with me to my grave!! These Child abuse "claims" have gone sooooo over board!!

You can appreciate at any age this little one started a bit earlier than most it's not a abuse the child looks like she's enjoying it and the father looks proud seriously people mind your own business he didn't beat her or force her into it she wanted to do it and he just helped guide her if I was the mother of the little girl I'd be so proud!!!!! She did an amazing job for being on four years old and holding that tattoo gun with a nearly stedy hand..

People need to stop! If he was giving her a tattoo, then yes it would be abuse. Not her giving him one! It's beautiful that he will have her art on him forever, and she has a memory with her dad she will never forget! He's a proud daddy, spending time with her and encouraging her to be creative and do what she is passionate about. Forget the ignorant haters!

Child abuse!!!! Really !! I mean I see where he is not doing any harm. He his letting his daughter explore her skills. Go DAD .. If only there was more dads like you I would let her keep doing what she likes and one day she will be the best . I think the people who is saying this is child abuse needs to understand what that really means .. You got mother's out here that won't even feed there children but will support there drug addiction and others who beat there kids or rape them .. I see only a father who loves there child.

I saw his actual post, at first i was skeptical from the picture but then read his caption. In which he explained how talented she is as an artist, and how shes been practicing holding and using the gun long befor this tattoo.

I dont think its abuse im sure he has taught her how to handle the needle she is 4 and not 1 i think it was good because he is spending time with his daughter and enjoying it...The world fail to realize there isnt too many men in their daughters lives so when u see a man being in his daughter life you salute him for teying its hard with a girl
shit like this depends, i think it could potentially be a safety issue and i dont think i would personally do it but if he is sure that its safe and he's watching the whole time then i dont see how it would be child abuse.
How in earth is it child abuse? Is the child being hurt? Is the child in any form of neglect? All I see is a daughter, drawing a permanent picture, and a man caring enough to let himself be the canvas, well done man, you definitely have my vote for father of the year
How sad, the world is. How wonderful the opportunity for a young lady to spend quality time with dad. My dad had his own concrete business and worked all the time. He allowed me to go along once in awhile and even paid me for the day. I got to ride in his big trucks, hold the end of the measuring tape and carry the thermos. When I was 12 he supervised, and let me drive his 175 loader up in our field so he could throw fence posts in the bucket. I would love to have just one of those days again, he passed away when I was 15 and that was a long time ago but I still have the happy memories of our time spent together! It is important for children to better know their parents and share that kind of time. As we grow, the more we know about our parents the more we understand ourselves.
Absolutely absurd, what abuse is there to a father who is dedicated not only to his daughter/father relationship but as well as his profession, no abuse here, just people of high authority with nothing better to do with their tax paid time. Thanks. Best of wishes to the young father, trying to be the best with what he has to offer in this life.
P.S.
False accusations of abuse should be held to a criminal standard as well especially in this father's case.
People are stupid Look up child abuse then just shut up because you are to dumb to understand the definition any way!
This is a perfect example of media pushing a narrative. Only 1% thinks it's child abuse. That 1% was indoctrinated by this very broadcast. If I told 100 people "This could be child abuse, this could be child abuse, this could be child abuse." Then turned around and asked, "What's your opinion, is this child abuse?" That's where you get that 1%.

Really? He is in a shop, it's clean, and he is letting her tattoo him, no one else. I think it's awesome because she will grow up and that little strawberry will be there to always have her close! People need to worry more about what's going on in their own home!
yall fuckin retards my dad held a fuckin gun to me and my mom and fuckin rapped me yall fucks didnt do shit about that but yall will sure enough lock up a dude teachin his daughter how to tattoo yall lock up people for the stupidist shit. thats why i never call the law i do shit my own way because yall dont do shit to make anything better..... let him go for the love of god thats the most retardest shit i heard all day that little girl can grow up making hella money knowing how to do that how dumb is yall
The man is obviously a proud father of an artist. How many people still have all their kids artwork from church, pre school or grand school. This man will never lose this. " here daddy, i drew this for you! Come on now. I myself would pay well for an art piece done on me by this young artist. Whoever started crap about this and tried to claim child abuse is a low life judgemantal hypocrite scum bag piece of crap waste of flesh that needs to be kicked in the crotch for real. People that start trouble like this are the very reason there are a sickening amount of innocent parents who have had their kids taken ..if the system would start handing out harsher fines and jail sentences for FALSIFYING INFORMATION , maybe people will learn to not judge anybody and keep their nose where it belongs, in their own damn business
Anyone who thinks this is abuse is just plain stupid
She was giving her daddy a tattoo not a complete stranger...and as you can see she is protected with the blue gloves....and who else better to supervise than her own daddy. why don't they bitch and complain about the true abuse and endangerment that is going on in this world . As you can see she is a true artist in the making.
Where are the comments from people who said it is child abuse. I am really curious to know where they got that conclusion from. This dad has a very special bond with his daughter now...and when she is 25 and looks at his arm, she will see his love for her! Go dad! What a talented girl, she's lucky her dad has a shop so she can SAFELY practice her skills!
I think the story was corrupt. Obviously this poll is showing the opposite of what the story tells. Also, the definition of child abuse is physical maltreatment or sexual molestation of a child. FYI
I think it is fantastic that young people are encouraged to be artists, Kudos to you making it permanent.
Calling this child abuse is absurd and diminishes actual child abuse.
People who think this is child abuse is fucking retarded. I would totally let my two kids tattoo me. There's nothing wrong with this he watch every inch of her doing it in his shop. And I think its so beautiful that his daughter did a strawberry on his arm. Her and him will never forget that moment. So all of you people think its abuse get the fuck over it mind your own damn business.
How is this child abuse? Who knows this could be the start of a great career for her in the art world. Cudos to the Dad for letting her do it. Not sure if I would have trusted my daughter to tattoo me. lol.
How is that child abuse? If she drew on his arm with a marker is it abuse? Idiots
How the fuck is this child abuse? Its his kid, people need to shut the fuck up and mind their own business. We're talking about grown adults who are acting like high schoolers and worrying about other people's shit. Like seriously people! Grow up and worry about your own dam kids! Dude, if you EVER see this, you're doing awesome and she's beautiful! Keep it up!
It's none of our business! We need to stop worrying about everybody else and what they are doing and worry about ourselves and our own. It's a tattoo, get over it. He supervised her, no harm. It's not like he tattoo'd her people! When she turns 12 and is asked what is your best best memory she's going to smile huge and say the day my daddy let me tattoo a strawberry on him. And I bet at the age of 21 it will be the same response. It's really sad when we have reached a point in society that nobody will mind their business when needed however a fight can break out and everyone will pull out their phones and record it and just watch doing nothing while a 2yo watches his mom get beaten up. We really need to get our priorities straight!!
I think this is the opposite of abuse. This father let his daughter create something that will connect them forever. She will never forget that day ever. How many days do you remember from when you were four? This is sweet bro! Keep the love in yourself and your family. Doing it right!
I've been seeing a lot of children of all ages doing all kinds of things compared to our time.He was not giving her a tattoo and needs to explain that she can not just do this whenever, ONE DAY she may be famous!!!
Man, I seen AND been through child abuse!! If you think this is it... I'd have to call you a dumb stupid idiot. Y'all need to quit with that bullcrap. On the cool, in what way, shape, or form is this child abuse. I would strait up hug this man if I ever met him becase that little gurl was probably happy as can be when her father let her tattoo him like that. Shoot, he bonding with her, and teaching her a wonderful talent, and teaching her something she could want to do as a job when she older. And if she ever wanted to take on that job, I'd find out where her store is and ask her to give me a yellow rose tattoo on my arm because she'd have more experience than most the tattoo artists that I know. So therefore, leave that dad alone he's better at his job as a father than my own. So all of y'all haters can go somewhere else.
How is it child abuse it no different then her doing it with a marker or pen it just don't wash off people need to grow up at least he's being a dad n teaching his daughter something that she interested in
How could this child abuse u people are crazy to think it is at least he has the ball's to teach her
We noticed that so far none of the people who voted yes have commented at all. We would really like to know exactly what it is about this that is abusive in anyway. Big Jeff has been a professional tattoo artist for 36 years. Those people who voted yes should educate themselves on the tattoo industry before making judgement. Under supervision, there is nothing dangerous or unhealthy about this! We stand up and applaud this dad! His daughter will learn so many wonderful qualitys from this. Self confidence for one thing. We see only positive in this situation. Nothing negative at all!! Right On, Dad! Good for you!!
that is not child abuse that is talent people need to stop and think about real child abuse and go after the ones that sit and let their kids watch there parents shoot up or beat there kids and so on
its teaching her to love art!! And she will see the bond she has with her daddy..love it!!!
So because he's spending time, bonding , and teaching her... Not to mention holding a piece of his 4 yr old little girl on him forever... He's an abusive parent? Here's an idea... Let's go after those who aren't spending time, bonding and teaching their kids; and leave the ones who are alone. Let him be a parent! Too many people now days who don't give a crap what their kid is doing, to put someone down who does care!
Whoever voted yes on this poll, you're IDIOTS. This is not even close to child abuse! And to the father, you're awesome! What a great memory for you both! Proud of your little artist in the making!
Child abuse? really? it would be child abuse if the dad was tattooing the child... I would love for my 6 yr old to give me a tattoo! that would be one of the best memories ever!
Why don't you go after real abusers, l would be proud to have a tattoo drawn with love not force
I'd let my kids tattoo me. And I'm not even a professional, plus my kids are 2 and 4 months.
Those that think this is child abuse probably don't have special bonding moments like this with their kid(s). Seriously, lighten up, not everything is child abuse. My kids are too old to dpank, but you probably think spanking kids is child abuse too. Children need to be corrected and needs to be done in whatever way gets the child's attention. But you probably let your children run rampant.....
I think you people should mind your own GOD DAMN business. I think it is beautiful. Something dad will have long after she is grown. This way he will always have his little girl. So leave it alone you need to get a GOD DAMN LIFE of your OWN..
People need to calm down. With all the abuse going on in the world, this is what you're concerned about? Like really! Give your head a shake.
I think its pretty great. Most parents have to leave their babies art work on the fridge. Now he gets to keep it with him always and it will never change or fade away, it can't be thrown away. :)
How would this even be considered child abuse like wtf I just don't understand why society today has to always have that one attention whore who starts a huge fight like wtf get over it. Its not you is it? No so chill the h♡ll out and sit the eff down. People really need to stop pmsing and keep your hater thoughts in that tic tac d☆ck of yours like fr
That's awesome :) he was teaching her.
She never got the tattoo.
I bet she loved it & loves looking at the tattoo she put on daddy's arm
Child abuse? I do not think this means what you think it means ...
I totally think this is okay. Me being a tattoo artist my children are always curious as to my trade. I believe people that consider this child abuse may be thinking of child labor laws, since the child performed a tattoo inside of a tattooing business. I'm sure the father isn't compensating his child for the tattoo other than praising her, and I don't think the child is doing an apprenticeship under her father yet. So everyone should just back off this great father.
It's obvious that the percentage of people who are in support of this father is much larger than the percentage that believe this is "child abuse". Please. This is ridiculous. I think it's amazing what he did for her, not enough kids get to have bonding moments like this. This is not child abuse, it is a creative way of making a lasting memory and showing his daughter how much he loves her.
Now what part of this is child abuse???? People love drama!! Makes me sick... People out here killing and tormenting they kids but this is abuse,, y'all sad!! She's drawing,, being introduced to art,, and understanding the dynamics of her father's hobby or work.. By the way which is so cute
No way is this Child Abuse......
Now this makes me sick!! How can something so priceless be CHILD ABUSE!!?? Some key points, The father is bonding with his daughter. Showing her what he does for a living. He is nurturing her imagination and curiosity in a way he understands. Smdh would it still be called that if the child used a pen, a crayon, or a marker even?? I'd let my kids tat a little something on me mainly because it's their art in a way that would never be lost and I can take it with me to my grave!! These Child abuse "claims" have gone sooooo over board!!
I think this is so adorable
Wow . Child abuse ?? It's a funny world we live in
This father is teaching a trade of art.. I have tats. And will get more. This young lady is doing art. NOT BEING BEAT, STARVED, LOCKED IN A BASEMENT. Why don't the people who think this is child abuse do research on the history of tattoos, child abuse. and education. In my day we had ART CLASS in school. Are they taking that out as well?
To those that think this is child abuse... You are one of the problems in this world and should never reproduce... Ever!
I dont see how this is child abuse. Maybe she was the one that asked to give her dad a tattoo. And she is supervised by an adult. The 1% of people say that its child abuse probably are very judgemental and have never had a tattoo or piercing. Ill pray for their children if they have any cause they might disown them if they were to ever do anything wrong.
How on earth is this child abuse???? People are getting ridiculous.
This is ridiculous nothing is happening to the child ho is it child abuse! The dad isnt giving her one! I actually think its an awesome idea the dad will cherish that forever n that child did that for him! You guys need to do your research on child abuse!
What is this world coming to. The next thing will be a child drawing a pic for their parents. That's going to be child abuse. The one per cent that says it is are a group of people that have nothing better to do with their lives. They are the people that should not be on the internet of any kind.
How would this be child abuse wen the dad let his child tattoo on him it would be different if he was tattooing on his child but he not so how would it be child abuse
I think it's a cute idea. And she will prob grow up being a great tattoo artist. Good job dad!
I don't see how it's child abuse when nothing is happening to the child at all...
Some parents save their children's art from the moment they start to draw. This father will take his child's art to the grave, their is absolutely nothing more beautiful then that
It would be different if HE tattooed HER...but this actually a beautiful moment. He's sharing his art and passion with her and it may inspire her own creativity. Either way, a wonderful memory they'll share forever! Well done, dad!
You can appreciate at any age this little one started a bit earlier than most it's not a abuse the child looks like she's enjoying it and the father looks proud seriously people mind your own business he didn't beat her or force her into it she wanted to do it and he just helped guide her if I was the mother of the little girl I'd be so proud!!!!! She did an amazing job for being on four years old and holding that tattoo gun with a nearly stedy hand..
People need to leave this dad alone and worry about their own kids. Some of you don't have a clue what your child is doing while your backs are turned.
Child abuse hell no this was awesome big props man ur a good dad and who ever says ur not can go to hell
Child abuse, no... if anything this father is apprenticing with his daughter and helping to develop a talent that will provide an income for her when she gets older. Good for him!! I would absolutely LOVE to have a piece of artwork that my child drew on me for the rest of my life too.
People need to stop! If he was giving her a tattoo, then yes it would be abuse. Not her giving him one! It's beautiful that he will have her art on him forever, and she has a memory with her dad she will never forget! He's a proud daddy, spending time with her and encouraging her to be creative and do what she is passionate about. Forget the ignorant haters! They always have to have their panties in a knot over something! I commend you for teaching your little girl that you don't have to conform to society's cookie cutter idea of what a girl should or shouldn't do!
Child abuse!!!! Really !! I mean I see where he is not doing any harm. He his letting his daughter explore her skills. Go DAD .. If only there was more dads like you I would let her keep doing what she likes and one day she will be the best . I think the people who is saying this is child abuse needs to understand what that really means .. You got mother's out here that won't even feed there children but will support there drug addiction and others who beat there kids or rape them .. I see only a father who loves there child.
No because if I had the chance to let my deceased children do it I would in a heartbeat so I guess it would depend on the circumstance
This in no way child abuse! It's a good Dad letting his child explore something she likes to do. And he has his daughters artwork with him always.
THUS IS TOTALLY NOT CHILD ABUSE! I have many tattoos even my deceased infants name and footprints on my neck. If I had the chance I'd let my little artists do the same. I commend this father saying "GOOD FOR YOU TWO" and hope people leave him alone and mind their OWN business!
I saw his actual post, at first i was skeptical from the picture but then read his caption. In which he explained how talented she is as an artist, and how shes been practicing holding and using the gun long befor this tattoo. What we really need to be saying about this is how amazing and skilled this 4 year old is at this point in her life. She should be praised for her talents not scrutinized for it.
I don't understand why this is child abuse?? In fact... I think it's a great idea! It's cute and he will have her drawing on him forever! It's more dangerous letting a kid toast a marshmallow around a fire! Omfg!!
