Shamekia Morris began covering her son Treylin’s body with temporary tattoos when the baby was just six months old.
Neck, chest, arms, legs: there is almost no skin left without a design.
The fashion designer from West Palm Beach, Florida, says they are washable, painless, and that she “is not a bad mother”.
Her own sister Dinera opposed it at first, although she ended up supporting her when the boy’s account blew up on social media.
Morris says she has received threats for being accused of raising her son like “a thug”.
Others defend her: he is her son, it is temporary, it is her decision.
Where does artistic expression end and the exposure of a minor who cannot voice an opinion begin?
