They just needed a shoulder to crayon.

    The green line at the bottom is the border of where they were allowed to draw.

    As a 38yr old artist person, I would like to thank you for reminding me of my own father letting me draw all over his arms when I was much younger. I can't speak for your kids, but I remember my gratitude at the time (which I would recognize later) that my dad was letting me do something otherwise not ok for the sake of silliness and love.

    Not to get all serious about it. But I hope you do cherish this, in the off chance your kids remember the love!

    Edit: "in the off chance" I meant as "I don't know what kids are into these days I feel old!!"

    Absolutely I cherish it. I'm very proud that the kid wants to interact with me in this, or any other, way. Please feel free to interpret any of the hearts currently on my arm as being relayed to you!

    Honestly, I fell asleep and kind of forgot about this, then woke up and was briefly alarmed about the number of colors visible on my shoulders.

    Then I almost immediately remembered letting the kid draw on my arms and smiled.

    I've seen supposedly professionally done tattoos that are objectively worse

    I'll be honest, when I posted this picture of my kid's drawings, I didn't expect so much conversation about tattoos.

    If I didn't think it would embarrass them as an adult, I would probably seriously consider it for at least some of the art. The rainbow is my favorite option.

    It's such a beautifully positive picture full of love!

    How can you tell?

    It's the hearts, isn't it? I bet it's the hearts.

    Being serious, though, the three people depicted are supposed to be the kid, the mom and me. I love it when they fondly represent the family.

    Is there something like Reddit "mademesmile" group? This really belongs there.

    I was just thinking, if my kids did that I would tattoo at least part of it. That would be an amazing tattoo to have.

    I'm tempted. It would be the first tattoo with any color I got.

    Amusingly, one of my other tattoos is of a maze / labyrinth (you can see it in my recent post history) and another drawing the kid did last night was of the path through.

    That is so sweet!

    Unfortunatly for you dad, it's time to frame it!
