Badass kids

This New Zealand-based tattoo artist inks children as young as six to boost their confidence

In 2016, New Zealand-based tattoo artist Benjamin Lloyd posted an image of a friend’s young son, with a skull and roses design airbrushed on his arm and torso. It looked just like an actual tattoo, even though it was just spray painted on the young boy. In less than a day, Lloyd’s photo went viral, garnering over 4,00,000 likes in just a few hours.

He had captioned the photo with a promise: if his post got at least 50 likes, he would go to a children’s hospital and give the kids there airbrushed tattoos to cheer them up. After his post got hundreds of thousands of likes, he had no choice but to keep his promise. “The kids are so amazed. As soon as they get the tattoo it boosts their confidence,” Lloyd said.

“The only bad thing is that they don’t want to take a shower afterward.” Benjamin Lloyd takes around nine minutes to complete one of his amazingly-realistic tattoos, which he creates using stencils and then spraying freehand.

After losing one of her own pregnancies, Kayleigh was inspired to help her aunt and uncle get around their infertility issues. “I love being pregnant, had the world’s easiest pregnancies [and] after the loss of my very first pregnancy in 2016, I had a huge heart for pregnancy loss and infertility struggles,” she continued. “It just seemed like what I was supposed to do.” Kayleigh also confessed that she’s enjoyed teasing strangers who aren’t aware of the surrogacy scheme.
