Parents Are Getting Their Kids' Doodles Tattooed And Folks Have Opinions

Our time with our kids is so fleeting and precious. You want to document every little moment: with a Facebook post, with a frame, or perhaps with an indelible tattoo in your skin. Yes, parents are now convinced that getting a tattoo to commemorate your child's early years is a good idea — and they are going beyond the standard name or footprint ink.

Think Angelina Jolie's wedding dress but instead of drawings sewn on fabric, they are etched into your skin with a needle and ink — and there to stay forever. We don't know about you, but we were no baby Picasso, so we don't  blame our parents for just sticking our drawings up on the fridge for a few days. But art is in the eye of the beholder, right?

There are some messed up kid's drawings out there, y'all. Great to support your kids, but try not to pick anything featuring murder or that accidentally looks like a penis.

Because your kid won't even remember drawing it one day, and you'll be looking at it the rest of your life.
