10-Year-Old Boy Practices Tattoos on His Family Members

How many times have you heard the question “What will you be when you grow up?” An actor, astronaut, ballerina or maybe a doctor? Well, this 5th grader dreams of becoming a tattoo artist, and he practices every day.

Michigan-based Thomas Spring also known as Bubba comes from an artistic family, his father is a musician and drummer, whilst his mother is a fine art and fantasy photographer, so his passion for art came naturally.

“Along with making comics and face painting, I think tattoos are another way for him to create by also making other people happy,” Thomas’s mother Katie Eklund said in an interview with Bored Panda.

“One day, he came home from school and said, ‘Mom can I give you a tattoo?’ I agreed. And then we set up a station for him with gel pens and a tip jar, where he charged me 50 cents for each tattoo I got. Then his siblings all wanted one.”

After she made a post about her son’s work, the reaction from people was more than amazing. From tattoo artists wanting to collaborate with him, to kind people writing him letters and supporting his passion.
