Mum Covers Baby In ‘Tattoos’ (And She Doesn’t Care What You Think)

Unfazed by the constant criticism from other parents, Shameka Morris, a fashion designer mum, proudly covers her one-year-old son in temporary tattoos and remains steadfast in her decision, despite the judgment she faces. She started adorning her son Treylin with fake tatts when he was just six months old, and his Instagram account, boasting over 55,000 followers, showcases his unique style.

While the majority of comments on Treylin’s photos are supportive, Shameka’s choice to embellish her son with temporary tattoos often stirs up controversy in the comment section. Nevertheless, this Florida-based mother remains resolute.

Shameka acknowledges the backlash she receives, with people expressing their discomfort in seeing a tattooed baby. Some label her as raising her son to be a “gangster” or a “thug.” Even her own family initially disapproved of the fake tattoos due to their own dislike of tattoos.

However, Shameka’s sister Dinera reveals that the family’s perspective has changed over time. Initially against the idea, Dinera now supports Shameka and recognizes the positive impact it has had on both her and Treylin.

Shameka, accustomed to being ridiculed for her appearance, expected similar reactions towards her son. She recounts an incident during her pregnancy where she did a maternity photoshoot at a tattoo shop and faced online bullying. Negative comments flooded in, suggesting that her baby would be born with numerous tattoos or even suffer from skin poisoning. It was an overwhelming experience for her.

Nevertheless, Shameka brushes off the negativity, focusing on the joy and self-confidence the body art brings to Treylin. Seeing himself dressed up and adorned with tattoos in the mirror, he exudes happiness and expresses it through dancing. She genuinely believes that her son enjoys it.

In the face of criticism and judgment, Shameka remains unyielding, prioritizing her son’s happiness and embracing his unique style.
