Question, 'How Do You Cheer Up A Kid In n Hospital?',

answer, give him or her a tattoo!


all photographs Benjamin Lloyd/Facebook, it happened like this, in 2016, when 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, and in only a day, Lloyd’s photo went viral, receiving over 400,000 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 kept his promise,

“The kids are so amazed. As soon as they get the tattoo it boosts their confidence,” Mr Lloyd said, 

the kids certainly look happy at their tattoos, I should mention that Benjamin says he uses a custom, non-toxic ink that is easy to wash off in the shower,

which rather neatly brings me on to the next question, 'how do you get a kid into a shower to wash off his or her tattoo?'
