Bellomo, whose body is heavily decorated with tattoos, said he initially posted a picture of Chloe practicing her skills on his arm without a needle attached.
"It was more of a test to see if she was ready to hold the weight of the machine, control it enough to be safe, and listen to her daddy," Bellomo wrote.
The second time around, Chloe used the tools at 3rd Eye Tattoo in Largo, Fla., to finish the job.
Bellomo told Bay News 9 that Chloe drew her inspiration from spending time in the tattoo parlor and seeing other artists get to work. Chloe also said she chose a strawberry "because it was cute."
By Tuesday morning, the post received almost 120,000 likes and earned over 14,000 shares. Some comments have been positive and others negative, the latter claiming "bad parenting."
"I'm not trying to push her into a career," Bellomo told Bay News 9. "Maybe an after-school job versus working at McDonald's."
