Florida dad lets 4-year-old tattoo a strawberry on his arm

LARGO, Fla., Nov. 8 (UPI) -- A proud Florida dad posted a picture online showing his 4-year-old daughter utilizing an unusual skill for her age group -- giving her father a tattoo.

Brad Bellomo, 30, owner of the Third Eye Tattoo parlor in Largo, posted a picture to Facebook showing his 4-year-old daughter, Chloe, using the tattoo needle to draw a strawberry on her father's arm.

"Today was her first real tattoo!!!" Bellomo wrote. "A li'l wobbly but she did great and it's still cute... Keep in mind she just turned 4 [at the] end of August!"

Some commenters criticized Bellomo for allowing such a young girl to use a dangerous tool, but the father said he was downright baffled when some Facebook users reported his photo for "graphic violence."

"There's more gore on a pic of a Halloween costume than this picture... Sorry if I offended anyone [with] my daughter being so awesome!" he wrote.
