Shameka Morris’ posts obtained the eye of social media pundits not too long ago when she uploaded pictures of her toddler filled with tattoos.
Though the tattoos are faux, Morris was known as a ‘dangerous mother’ and was advised that she was making her child out to seem like a “gangster” or a “thug”.
Morris, a dressmaker in West Palm Seaside, Florida pushed again on the feedback on social media, saying that she “would not care” how anybody views her parenting expertise and the extra the world will get upset with what she is doing with the short-term tattoos, the extra she’s going to proceed to use them to her one-year-old son.
Shameka Morris has been criticized on social media for placing faux tattoos on her toddler son.
In assist of the mom, a member of the general public uploaded a photograph of one other toddler with tattoos and requested why it was that Morris’ photograph went viral whereas the opposite didn’t. As well as, the opposite toddler’s photograph didn’t lead to his mother and father being closely criticized on social media.
The backstory behind the tattoos reportedly is that Morris by no means had a chance to rejoice her son’s delivery as a result of him spending time within the neonatal unit after being born prematurely.
The faux tattoos, which she alters every so often on her son, subsequently, illustrate milestones in his restoration. She additionally created an Instagram web page for him, which has almost 50,000 followers.
The tattoos are fake and people saying it’s wrong but why does it always has to be where people say that it’s makes them look like gangsters or thugs right away that’s what they say they look like not just gangsters and thugs have tattoos or cholos we all bleed the same color and short people and tall people men and women skinny people big people police officers have tattoos and teachers and government people have tattoos so not just gangsters and thugs so before anybody start assuming that only gangsters and thugs have tattoos PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK AND ASSUME!!!!!!
You could of just saved us all from the Obvious, Captain. We all know what happens when you “ASSUME”. You make an “ASS out of you and ME”.
Also, most “ghetto” people are thugs. So get that shit right.
You could *HAVE…
And not all people from the ghetto are thugs. It seems like the only ass here is you.
Did that come with burn cream?
XD
Just to set things straight, the guy above did say “most people from the ghetto are thugs”. Most people are indeed not all people. You said all people, not him.
This is what people are outraged over? A mother who clearly expresses herself through body art, sharing it with her son. How is this any different from a child getting his face painted ? It’s all temporary , nothing inappropriate. It’s art, her art. If you think it make the boy look like a thug that’s your ignorance because your mind is taking it to a negative place. There are parents out there starving , beating , molesting, murdering their children. This mom spending quality time with her child meanwhile half the people being negative are ignoring their child face deep in a phone trying to judge this mom 🤣
Calling it art inexplicably removes all negative connotations? I’ll have to remember and use that stupid statement , don’t worry, I’ll give you credit.
I might not agree with the baby being tattooed, but they are fake and will wear off… They do look cool by the way. My question is where is the same outrage toward parents pushing for hormone blockers and permanent physical changes in children in the name of gender dysphoria?
Exactly u r so right about this. It’s OK for not just people but also the school systems making it ok for discussions about gender issues to 5 n 6 year old kids. Not everyone who has tattoos are gangsters if they knew the origin of tattoos which in old times n even now was a cultural thing Africans and native American and tribal culture use tattoos to represent their culture and this mother had her reasons for doing it and it’s not even permanent.
Very well said. This is just another distraction from the real problem.
Because real morality no longer exists and imaginary outage at stupid garbage is the rule of the day.
SMFH My Daughter who is now 8 has an gets several fake tattoos so what she is a kid an he is a kid an if the kids want a fake tat let em there only kids for a short-time. Its not real an people really need to mind there own business. an i think they look good screw what any1 eles thinks 🙄. an to the mother i think they look bad assed. Momma u know u r a good mom screw what others think.
Society in both America and Britain is not all at it’s best when it comes to opinions, thoughts and feelings, yes it is wrong to give a baby a permanent tattoo, but it isn’t wrong to give a fake one as it does come off, tattoos was around in ancient Israel,, roman, Egypt, America, Africa as symbols of faith, religion, culture, and tribe, it was around thousands of years ago and it will be around thousands more. Yes gang members use tattoos to distinguish themselves but not everyone is a gang member the idea of tattoos nowadays is a form of art, everyone has the right to feel different about tattoos but at the end of the day people are different and equal regardless who, and should the choose to have a tattoo it is there body not yours, just putting it out there for you all to think about
I say this all the time actually. If we’re going to allow kids to take hormone blockers and go through a phony gender transformation then why not let kids get tattoos and body piercings?
Can’t believe you’re that stupid lol!! You are comparing a toddler getting tattooed to something that you can’t choose. I’d love a chat
Parents choose what they put in their childs body. A child is not capable of making that decision. Stopping a childs natural development is disgusting and should he veiwed as child abuse!!!!!! Children change their mind like the weather. My brother played with dolls as a child and even wore a dress at one point and then 2 weeks later he was in his super man costume my parents didn’t try and make him a girl. Let kids be kids my daughter used to have me put fake tattoos on her in the places i have mine. There are 2 genders male and female period.
You guys are right about the hormones and gender Trans and not faux tattoos they do wear off. But as adults we should wait until or children can at the very least contribute input about how they feel about these changes,not just we make the depiction alone. Most of you would not like someone making delicious for you without your input (as seen by all the protest surrounding gltb culture demanding a say in their rights) so do not force your choices especially ones in such bad taste on unknowing children that can’t communicate their personal preferences and tastes yet, because they don’t have the mental capacity to do so be the adults you are supposed to be and a responsible parent.
Thank u all these woke people complaining bout shit that doesn’t matter in the long run instead of focusing on how were destroying society and biology by being #mytrueself if we were a third world country all the extra people wouldve been removed from society ages ago
What?!
Hormone blockers *aren’t* permanent.
It’s not “the parents pushing’ anything either.
I’m not in favor of minors having unnecessary surgeries, but I am in favor of such things as hormone blockers.
Hormone blockers delay physical puberty (without effecting mental maturation) until the person taking the blockers stops taking the meds, which they can do whenever they like.
It’s also literally *never* done by “parent’s request”, and should parents try to “force” kids to take blockers they don’t want, CPS would snatch those kids away so fast it would make your head spin, and rightly so in that case.
I have yet to meet any transgender individuals in favor of forcing kids to take blockers or undergo surgeries etc. Most wish no one would ever have to go through their struggles.
Meanwhile I have met plenty of people trying to forcefully deny them the right to make their own choices.
Blockers means allowing them time to grow up and delay the choices until they are old enough and have been through therapy etc. to find out what they do and don’t want, and make mature informed decisions.
All hormone blockers do is stop physical puberty so it gives the kid time to figure themselves out. Some options become much harder to impossible after puberty. So if the child wants to consider those options, delaying physical puberty preserves those options.
Not everyone on blockers will eventually transition. No one expects kids on blockers to know for sure what they do or don’t want later on. That is why they are on the blockers to begin with.
This just gives them options should they choose to undergo transition later on, or give them time to decide that they do or don’t want to before making any drastic changes.
Being in psychotherapy is a requirement for the meds. As such it also becomes pretty clear pretty quickly should this really be “parents jumping the gun”. Parents aren’t part of these therapy sessions. These also aren’t “special” psychotherapists and psychiatrists either. They are the same therapists you might see for PTSD etc.
It’s not about “pushing”. It’s about *not* pushing.
It is about giving them time to mature enough to make their own informed decisions, rather than having anyone make those choices for them.
If we are talking about bodily autonomy, then this is something you should be in favor of, not against.
The reason you can’t see that though is because you are too biased to actually learn about it.
Kid’s bodies are their own. When it comes to non-medically immediately and urgently necessary procedures, the choices about their bodies should be their own. Since when this comes up they are often too young to make a informed adult decisions, this just helps delay any of such decisions until they are old enough, and mature enough, and have been in therapy long enough to really think things through and make informed choices. As adults. Themselves.
You would deny them that.
As a parent of an intersex child, I can tell you that no one has any trouble trying to push parents into consenting to non-medically necessary surgeries on newborns just so the kid will “look right” in the “locker rooms”.
Many of these newborns are still candidates for surgeries that would make drastic changes that can cost them their fertility and even their lives. For purely cosmetic reasons.
You are all fine with *that*.
People argued with me when I decided to let my son make his own choices as he got older. In hindsight he is very happy I gave him his own choices. The surgeries tend to default to “female” because it is simpler. My son is now an adult and happy to have the chance to have kids with his fiancee in the future, even if he does “look a little different down there”. He went into puberty as a teen perfectly normally and became an adult young man.
The surgeries you *are* fine with would have denied him that, just like you would deny teens the ability to be on blockers so they can make their own choices about their own bodies later.
Stop being a hypocrite.
People’s own bodily autonomy shouldn’t be up to a Governor, or a politician, or to you or me for that matter. It should be their own, just like yours should belong to you and no one else should be allowed to tell you what you can and can’t do with your body.
Unless we all are free to make our own informed and mature choices, none of us actually have that freedom.
It’s like someone dressing their baby as a wizard and people getting pissed that their baby will turn into gandalf. It’s temporary tattoos how is the mother dangerous lol
You are mentally ill. A hormone blockers interfere with maturity, as your comment about your child “looks a little different” attests too. You are just so invested in pushing gender disphoria as normal you can’t see it. A 5 y/o has trouble picking what flavor of ice cream they want but you think they should be allowed to choose hormone blockers.
This Mother from what i know is a bad ass mom… good god, let me change that before it’s turned into something bad! she a great mom, it’s a fake tattoo but i’m willing to place a bet that it all has a beautiful meaning not to mention the child and mom look absolutely lovely. i love it!!!!!!!!
Busy body ass people always got something negative to say. Mind your own damn business and stop worrying about what other people are doing. He do look “Gangster thuggish” tho.. Blessings lil man. Cool
Its her kid and although i personally disagree with children wearing full body faux tattoos, makeup,jewelery and other things that make them appear more grown up than they are, the kid isthe one who suffers. All that stuff on him looks ugly and he’ll have a hard time because parents balk at that.
I remember when I was younger you would get fake tattoos in sweet packets and I thought they were cool so if little me saw these tattoos my head would of exploded. Also she is not hurting the kid so what does it matter it will make for fun photos to show his future mate
Look here it’s art people just mad they didn’t think of it first… That baby don’t even understand what it is he or she is looking at let that mother enjoy her baby the way anyone has the right to enjoy kids while they kids… How I see it people complaining about something that isn’t permanent get a life and stop running you’ll mouth’s and worry about what belongs to you period… I hope she does it more just so it recks the nerves of those who have nothing to do but judge others but not what they do… The baby looks well fed happy so be it he’s a model if you ask me…
That has to be fake what mother would do that to it toddler no mother in her right mind with tattoo their toddler it don’t look real to me it might be but I don’t think so but if she did do it she shouldn’t have because that should be his decision if he wanted to be tattooed not her but the mother wants to put tattoos on her fine don’t put them on your toddler let your toddler put them on him when he gets old enough now that’s my opinion amen
And the kids too young to decide if he even likes or wants them. The way things are going in this country pretty soon people will be tattooing their infants permanently and we won’t blink
Calm down Karen. They’re temporary tattoos. Not real ones 🙄
Why does the baby in the picture have a mustache?
