Mom Faces Backlash for Covering Toddler in Tattoos

 
Mom Faces Backlash for Covering Toddler in Tattoos

Shameka Morris, a Florida mom and fashion designer, has taken social media by storm with her unique way of bonding with her toddler son, Treylin Armani.

Morris, 29, is a tattoo enthusiast who loves expressing herself through body art. But it’s not her tattoos causing a stir—it’s the temporary tattoos she puts on her son that have the internet buzzing.

What started as fun pictures of her six-month-old son in cute outfits and fake tattoos quickly turned into a heated debate about parenting. While some online followers find her posts adorable, others have harshly criticized her, questioning if her actions are appropriate for a child.

How It All Started

The controversy surrounding Morris didn’t begin with her son’s tattoos. It began before he was born. During her pregnancy, Morris shared photos of herself at her brother’s tattoo shop, showing off temporary tattoos on her baby bump.

"People were saying my baby will be born with a whole bunch of tattoos," Morris recalled. "I was laughing, but I said, ‘I’m gonna get back at them.’"

When Treylin was just six months old, Morris decided to decorate him with temporary tattoos for fun, posting pictures on Instagram. That’s when the backlash reached new heights.

Social Media Reacts

Morris’s parenting style has drawn mixed reactions from her growing audience. Critics argue that decorating her son’s body with fake ink sends the wrong message. Some even accuse her of using her child to gain internet fame.

But Morris has no plans to stop. "I don’t care how anyone views my parenting skills," she said in response to the criticism. "The more the world gets upset, the more I’m going to keep putting Nugget tattoos on him. He loves his temporary tattoos, so why not?"

From Criticism to Fame

While the backlash continues, it has also led to unexpected opportunities. Treylin, now one year old, has become a social media star. His Instagram account, @nuggetworld561, boasts over 54,000 followers, and his TikTok videos have attracted 1.5 million fans.

For Morris, the temporary tattoos are more than just an online trend—they’re a way of expressing her love for creativity and individuality. Despite the judgment, she remains unapologetic and focused on having fun with her son.

Morris insists that the tattoos are harmless fun. "He loves his temporary tattoos," she says. "As long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters to me."
