A tattoo-loving dad is facing backlash after treating his baby son to his first tattoo... even though it was only temporary.
TikTok user @stetsyboiii often shares sweet videos of his son on social media, and recently took to the platform to share a video of the special moment his son got an airbrush tattoo. Unfortunately, some viewers were quick to question the gesture.
In the clip, the dad can be seen holding his young son on his lap while a tattoo artist inks his little leg.
At the end of the video, the camera zooms in to show the design - a red heart with 'Mom' written in black letters through the middle of it.
"Men with tattoos, babies with tattoos," he captioned the cute clip, which has racked up over 14 million views on TikTok.
Watch the full video below:It also received hundreds of comments - with many social media users confused and divided over the "inking".
"Didn't it hurt the baby," one commented. Another wrote: "NOOOOO," while a third added: "What if he doesn’t like it when he grows up?"
Others questioned whether the father was even allowed to tattoo his baby - or whether it was against the law. "I got my baby a tattoo and got arrested for child endangerment," one wrote, while another asked: "Isn't that [illegal]?"
However, many others rushed to the dad's defense, pointing out that the "cute" tattoo was not a permanent design, but a temporary, airbrush one that did not involve a needle.
"Guys this is an airbrush tattoo it goes off in like 2-3 days," one person commented. Another user backed them up, writing: "People, it's spray, don't worry."
"That scared me until I realized it was a spray," a third added.
Meanwhile, other users thought that the baby's tatt was adorable.
"That's so cute," one wrote, while another agreed: "So cute!! Gonna get a tattoo for my daughter too!!"
A third added: "I also got an airbrush tattoo when I was younger I felt so cool back then."
