\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nTattoo artist and entrepreneur Max Marco is opening a new shop in the Stapleton Town Center, Toddler Tatts, where parents can bring their children for permanent body art.\nThe editor of Tattoo News says tattooing children is a growth industry. \u201cIt\u2019s an untouched demographic. \u00a0Our client pool has been growing richer and trendier for years. Now they\u2019re getting younger. People want to set their kids apart from the crowd, and so business has exploded in communities that are family-oriented and socially-competitive like La Jolla, Martha\u2019s Vineyard, and Waco. Stapleton\u2019s a prime market for this. And you\u2019re lucky to get Marco. He\u2019s quite an artist.\u201d \u00a0\n\nIndeed, Marco\u2019s work has been featured on television programs Ink Masters and Tatt My Baby. His new shop will be located next to Cold Stone Creamery where he expects to get great visibility in the youth market. Marco was born in Liverpool, England and is self-taught as an artist. Peers call him the \u201cMick Jagger\u201d of the tattoo world given his think English accent, lanky limbs and bold style. Marco recalls the first time a mother brought in her 5-year old son for a tattoo.\n\u201cSo Mumsy wants somefink powerful that catches the boy\u2019s real character, right? She\u2019s talking about play groups and school lotteries and all of it. How cut-throat it is. \u00a0Says a tatt might give him an edge, right? Alright then. So I comes to find this kiddo loves the beach. \u00a0Put him in the hot sand on a sunny day. \u00a0Does he cry? \u00a0No, he loves it. \u00a0Just rolls around in his nappies as happy as a clam. \u00a0So I does up the kid\u2019s back with a classic nautical theme: an anchor. \u00a0Brilliant piece of work it was. \u00a0His Mum loved it. \u00a0Didn\u2019t take too long neither seeing as the boy\u2019s back was so small. And that\u2019s the beauty. \u00a0The tattoo will grow as the kid grows up. \u00a0Full back tatts on an adult are pricey, but not on the kiddos. \u00a0Great value, see?\u201d\nWhen asked about tattoo needles and pain management for toddlers, Marco shrugs. \u00a0\u201cNot as bad as circumcision, is it?\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
