Cute, but is it inappropriate?
Two little children were on This Morning today to show off their fake sleeve tattoos. Five-year-old Tiana and six-year-old Bobby were proud as punch with their temporary tattoos, with Tiana saying that she wanted one just like her mum but without the pain of a needle.
In order to create the look, the kids had temporary body paint stenciled on their arms with all sorts of designs.
The show asked the question:
“Should parents be encouraging tattoos for their children at such a young age, even if they are only temporary?”
People were not impressed with the parent’s decision with some people saying it was “disgusting”.
Make the child want a tattoo for real later in life they might regret it later on

Child abuse. Permanently ruining her child’s skin. A child agreeing at that age means nothing. Should be prosecuted

Some others weren’t as offended.
It’s been around for years! Used to be called transfers and caused no harm or lasting issues, unless you count getting ink on your duvet!

Bit of fun. No different from kids having face painting or tan and make up for dance competitions etc. Two lovely kids.

Definitely, I have tattoos on my back and foot. If my children wanted to have one it’s washable, don’t see the harm it’s art

Let children be children! There’s nothing wrong with it. Better having a temporary one than having a real one later in life & regretting it
