Proud dad revealed how he let his six-year-old tattoo him as a bonding experiment
Arizona-based Wesley Owens asked his daughter Adeline to tattoo a heart and smiley face on her leg and said: ‘This (heart) tattoo means the world to both of us’
The doting father, who works as a tattoo artist himself, filmed the three times Adeline tattooed him in her salon.
During Adeline’s first tattoo, she was a little hesitant mid-session before her father encouraged her, saying, “You’ve got it, you can do it.”
And it resulted in a thin heart silhouette that he loved.
Wesley let the tattoo heal and brought his daughter back for a touch-up session.
He showed her the healed tattoo and she said, “Oh, that looks really good.”
The father was then recorded saying: “I think it looks really good too, but would you mind doing a touch-up for me?” She agreed and said, “Yes, of course.” »
“The way it heals this time will be like this forever and I love it!!!!!”, he lovingly wrote in the video’s text.
At the end of the clip, he said “I’ll give you ice cream tonight,” to which the negotiator replied that she wanted a toy instead – and it was a toy she ultimately got, according to the father’s comment online.
Wesley decided to let Adeline tattoo him again, revealing: “I decided to let Adeline tattoo a smiley face next to the heart she tattooed last time.”
But he wasn’t the only one impressed by the young artist: many of her 87,000 followers on TikTok were impressed by her art as well as her parenting skills.
Wesley decided to let Adeline tattoo him again, revealing: “I decided to let Adeline tattoo a smiley face next to the heart she tattooed last time.”
And the youngster showed even more confidence the third time.
“She’s become a lot more comfortable since last time.” She doesn’t even mind that it hurts a little. I think if she sticks with it, she might have a future in tattooing.
“I wonder how many other six-year-olds tattoo their dads? I love it when she tattoos me. Each one turns out absolutely perfect,” the voiceover says.
He called his work a “masterpiece,” but Wesley wasn’t the only one impressed – with his followers in awe.
In response to the comments, one person wrote: “When she gets a client years later, ask her how long she’s been tattooing… ‘Since I was six.’ Well done dad.
“If she ever becomes a tattoo artist you should ask her to make another heart next to this one,” added another.
A third chimed in: “I love how she looks at you every time for confirmation and you just keep building her confidence.” The cutest thing ever! I would 100 percent let her tattoo.
“I love that she noticed a spot she wanted to fix on her own. She’s a child learning what she wants her art to look like. You are such an awesome dad,” another fan wrote.
One person added: “Tattoo his name in his writing. I wish I had done this when my son was little.
“The way I raised her, she’s not afraid of much. Snakes, spiders, heights and unknown adventures are things she has learned to love,” the father told his tattoo client.
“Adeline said, ‘Dad, can I wear your chains and be cool like you?’ I said, ‘You’re already cooler than me, but I’ll let you try them on.’ She makes my heart smile sometimes,” a- he writes
“I’m really, really proud of the person she’s becoming. I hope she never loses her passion for enjoying life to the fullest,” the father wrote tenderly on Instagram.
When a commenter was impressed with his encouragement of his daughter, he responded, “I wish all parents would encourage their children like this.” The world would certainly be a better place.
Someone commented on the “strong bond” between them. He replied: “We have to do it. We depend so much on each other. We have the perfect dynamic.
The father and his eight-year-old daughter continue to explore together and love hiking, climbing and going to the circus.
“I mentioned that Adeline was climbing on someone I was tattooing the other day, and they were like ‘so she’s not afraid of heights?’
“I said, honestly, the way I raised her, she’s not afraid of much. Snakes, spiders, heights and unknown adventures are things she has learned to love.
“I say this every time I post about her, but I’m just so proud of the person she’s becoming. I hope she never loses her passion for enjoying life maximum,” the father wrote tenderly on Instagram.
