This Artist Gives Hospitalized Kids Spray-On ‘Tattoos’ To Brighten Their Days And Here Are 30 Of His Best

Imagine a hospital where kids eagerly roll up their sleeves, not for shots, but for art. Benjamin Lloyd, a tattoo artist from New Zealand, has come up with a super cool way to cheer up kids at Starship Children’s Hospital in Auckland.

Instead of using regular tattoo ink, he uses wash-off sprays to airbrush fun ‘tattoos’ on the kids. The best part? It’s not just about having a cool design on their arms or legs, but about making the kids smile and feel brave during their stay at the hospital.

In a way, Benjamin’s reminding everyone that it’s not about having a real tattoo, but about the happiness and strength it brings to these young champs.
