Artist Offers Airbrush Tattoos To Sickly Kids, See Their Faces Light Up!

New Zealand artist Benjamin Lloyd has been making quite an impact in his home country by giving kids overwhelming confidence. It all started when he began using an airbrush to give his step-son awesome temporary tattoos. The little dude loved it and Benjamin could see an immediate lift in his self confidence. Tragically, Benjamin’s stepson passed away two years ago… but it inspired the artist to give kids everywhere the same joy.

On May 22nd,  Benjamin announced on facebook that every kid at Aukland’s Starship Children’s Hospital would get temporary tattoos if his post wracked up 50 likes. He woke in the morning to find 400,000 thousand likes… and the positive feedback just kept coming.

His post gained so much momentum that a local news crew picked up the story the next morning and put Benjamin in touch with the right people at the Starship Children’s Hospital.

“Nothing brings me more joy than boosting kids confidence with a custom tattoo,”wrote Lloyd on Facebook. “The only bad thing [with the temporary tattoo] is that they don’t want to take a shower afterwards,”he joked on facebook.

According to his facebook page, Benjamin will soon be heading to the hospital to temporarily tat the kids up.
