![]() That former babysitter, Libbie Kropf, now works at Power House Tattoos in Kitchener. “Immediately I thought, ‘I need this tattooed on me,’” Hind said. “So this is ‘Stormy.’”Ī babysitter at the time sewed a toy to represent the child’s drawing. “He drew a picture of a monster that would protect him from storms,” Hind explained, showing off a tattoo on the inside of her right wrist. After being caught in a bad storm when he was young, Hind’s son was left with severe anxiety. “This will be something that will be meaningful regardless of a time.”Įrica Hind also sports her child’s artwork on her body. “Because there’s such sentiment and meaning and intention attached to this, I feel it’s able to transcend a time and a place,” Davis said. While such work is only a small fraction of his output, Davis says that kids’ artwork tattoos are definitely gaining in popularity. “And what’s better than being able to literally wear your family, wear your memories, wear your love?” “His family is of the utmost importance to him,” Davis said of his client from Berlin Tattoo - the shop where he practices his art. “And then I made my own blue and then Cam tattooed it.”Ĭam Davis is the Kitchener,Ont.-based tattoo artist who has been inking Sears’ arm with Parker’s creations, “I wrote it with orange permanent marker,” Parker explained. Sitting in the tattoo shop, Parker points out a self-portrait on his dad’s arm. People look at it and it’s just touching to people.” “This is the way he copes with things this is how he gets through life,” Sears said. Sears’ son, Parker, has autism - and since he was a toddler, drawing has been a form of catharsis. “These are all the tattoos that my son’s drawn,” Sears told CTV Kitchener from a local tattoo shop. Craig Sears’ left arm is inked with doodles of fantastical creatures, superheroes, monsters and even a disgruntled-looking carrot.
