New Zealand Airbrush Artist Inks Kids With Gorgeous Custom Temporary Tattoos

Benjamin Lloyd, a really talented airbrush artist whose motto is “You say it i’ll spray it”, has been tatting up the kids in his Tauranga, New Zealand hometown with gorgeous temporary designs made with skin-safe ink for the past two years, since the tragic death of his stepson Lincoln. It wasn’t until Lloyd put out a challenge for Facebook likes, however, that he became very famous, very quickly. He requested 50 likes, but came away with many, many, many more and is currently making plans to visit the kids at Starship Children’s Health in Aukland, with his airbrush in tow.

Nothing brings me more joy than boosting a kids confidence with a custom tattoo 50 likes and ill go to starship hospital and tat all the kids up.It’s airbrushed on.(not permanent) peace. …Well it looks like im off to starship.

Lloyd has already received a few special requests, including this beautiful one from Angela Piper, a mum whose son is currently being treated for cancer.
