This 12-Year-Old Tattoo Prodigy Is Going Viral, And His Works Speak For Themselves

He's following an apprentice path, lots of practice, patience, prep, and protection. He's not doing them prison style with a BIC pen. Keep up the hard work kiddo.

No depth? Psh, PLEASE. This kid has UNDENIABLE talent! Not only can he draw well (as said by another user, "better than some adults") he's doing on SKIN! Which is WAY harder than on paper! He has a better sense of what he wants to do with his life, which is more than what I can say for some adults. Coo-do's to his parents for supporting this! As an owner of couple 'o' tats myself, I'd GLADLY let this kid ink me! Well done Ezrah, keep it up and don't stop learning! Great work!

For starters can we talk about how freagin amazing his hairstyle is *-* and as far as him having a tattoo gun in his hand at this age is concerned, art isnt limited to age and has no boundaries, believe it or not the spark in an artist doesn't ignite everyday, so maybe when he's "old enough" he has lost either the interest or that artistic spark. Little man should keep at it because he's definitely very good.

That's amazing! He should definitely be allowed. Let someone live their dreams, for once, world!

Well he's good so I would let him keep doing it! And I don't care what you people say bad things about him! Hes good at it and he has a gift

Good for him, his parents and his and his teacher!

Let the kid do what he wants. This is great!

I think this is a great way for this young man to stay occupied. He is learning art and a skill and staying out of trouble. Isn't this every parent's dream? Good for him.

Well Done Lad

Awesome! I usually don't like big tattoos but I've considered that it would be cool to have a small tattoo only I could see most of the year (maybe on the shoulder). Maybe, when I get older and crazier I would find Tiburon and ask for one, he clearly learns quickly and knows what he's doing. :)

Personally I think this is great. He's one of the lucky few who find a passion so young in life that he enjoys. His artwork is definitely impressive for his age and i'm sure will only get better with time and practice. Way to go kid!

Where can I sign up to get one done from him?? Seriously I need a traditional piece on my body soon!!

I think he's brilliant. I'm 42 and he's a better artist than I am. I wish him all the luck and success in the world as he soo deserves it. I think the comment that his drawings are child like are hilarious. He's 12 years old he IS a child. He will get better with age and practice. In 10 years time he will be amazing and probably be rug his own tattoo parlour. I really hope so.☺

The kid loves what he does best so it is also best for the parents to encourage and allow their children to pursue their own dream and passion. You go, kid! You even have my full support behind you.

Lucky boy! To find his passion in such a young age. Others are looking for it their whole life.

I mean if you are talented you get to choose the material to use and to draw on. I don't see the problem here, drawing on paper or skin (with the pemission from parents and the person getting tattooed of course) if you got it, you got it!

Fantastic boy and family! Keep on tattooing Ezra, looking forward for your future work!:)

This isn’t amazing work. Sorry, it just isn’t. Someone could actually be teaching the kid well, but these tattoos are subpar and not impressive. - 15 yr tattooer

People forget that we used to let children FORGE METAL, MINE COAL, and SWEEP CHIMNEY. Not to mention that there are still countless child slaves all across the world, including the USA. Stuff it. He's being taught to do something he has a passion for. He wanted this, and is being given the tools, teaching, and outlet for it. Children are far more capable than people give them credit for. Perhaps if you stop going "goo goo gaga" at YOUR kids they'd be more than drooling morons, too!

He's okay - no great shakes, but developing. What disturbs me is the fact that many don't know that tattoos contaminate you. Many cause varying forms of toxicity - metal poisoning and such. In ancient times, tattoos were a rite of passage BECAUSE YOU DID SOMETHING OF SIGNIFICANCE - they weren't a fashion statement. Some of the Polynesian tattoos were teachings of how to sail the Pacific and find tiny islands in the immensity of space through the tattooed information regarding currents, winds, temperatures of water and air, bird and fish life, and much more.... Today? You're just another "unique" person that had to have a tattoo - like half of everyone else. No significance to them, many times...

Awesome - Well done.

As long he is practicing to become a better tattoo artist - by professionals , he will become great! Good Luck Kid!

Seeing as there are no tattooing laws in Indiana, he could do it here all he wants!

What people need to remember is that he is 12 years old and lives in Panama first world country rules don't necessarily apply. He has been given an opportunity to have a future job if he continues with it though I don't agree with it good for him

Why should this be illegal? He's tallented, hope he gets even better in the future.

I am a 13 year old and will definitely trust him ;p

Prodigy? lol. Those tattoos are pretty average - a lot better than I could do, but come the f**k on with the prodigy b******t.

rule #1 , don't call the tattoo machine a "gun" it is a machine. And all the naysayers that keep talking about "pathogens" and "infections" , if you know basic hygiene, keeping a tattoo clean while healing is up to the individual, going to a shop with a good reputation and a shop that will explain with details, answering any question of their procedure, their methods of sanitizing equipment, and giving you well detailed after care.
