Despite the tattoos being temporary and the little boy having a smile on his face in many of these images, this mom could care less about the opinions of others, stating, “For the people that judge me, I don’t care because this is a lifestyle that we enjoy.”
In an interview, she opened up more about her experiences, sharing, “I receive a lot of aggressive reactions. People claim that I am raising my son as a ’gangster’ or a ’thug,’ and they are not accustomed to seeing a baby with tattoos.”
Furthermore, Shameka shared that when she was eight months pregnant with Treylin, she did a maternity shoot with her brothers at a tattoo parlor. According to Morris, that’s when the mockery on social media started. Negative comments were filled with the sentiment that her baby “would be born with many tattoos and that his skin would be tainted.”
Despite the fact that this body art isn’t harming the little boy, many worry that this practice will have a negative impact on Treylin and that he’s too young to understand the implications of what’s being put on his body since he doesn’t understand the concept of consent at his age.
Morris herself claims that her baby loves his tattoos, saying he dances in front of the mirror and feels more confident, but since babies are too young to make their own decisions, a lot of individuals are skeptical about that.
