These Photos Reveal The TRUTH About Tattooed Parents…And It’s Beautiful!

Don't believe the hype. People with tattoos are NOT criminal or inherently bad, and that's a stereotype that's existed for way too long. Tattoed parents have dared to go against the grain in terms of "conventional" appearance, but that certainly doesn't make them any less qualified in the mommy or daddy department.

They're just creatives who have chosen their skin as a canvas. A person's body art has no bearing on the way they love and raise a child.

We've compiled 12 of the most precious photographs of tatted-up moms and pops with their kids to put an end to negative stereotypes.

Please SHARE these beautiful family photos if you agree that tattooed parents are just PARENTS. Plain and simple!
