Although I found the video hilariously adorable, Ashley received plenty of pushback from commenters who watched her son pretending his fake tattoos hurt.
After her initial TikTok, the video went viral and sparked debates among those who felt Ashton was too young to be covered in tattoos, even though they could easily be washed off.
Under one video of him shirtless and flaunting the tattoos as YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s song “B---- Let’s Do It” played in the background, online users slammed Ashley for showing her son in what they felt was a negative light.
“Yeah, his future ain't gonna be too bright 🤣” one user wrote.
“The motive behind a FULL body of tattoos at this young age? And none of them look age-appropriate, fr…interesting,” someone else said.
Despite the unsolicited outrage from adults over half of Ashton’s age, many other commenters jumped to his and Ashley’s defense. Several users echoed my earlier statement of the video being an adorable mom-and-son outing and not representative of who Ashton was as a young child.
"This guy deserves an Oscar!" one commenter laughed.
“It’s fake tattoos 🤦♀️,” one user reminded everyone.
“I don't see an issue,” another said. “Moms play in makeup with little girls, so what's wrong with temp tattoos? You let them get them at the fair, so this seems more legit and better quality.”
