A New Zealand artist named Benjamin Lloyd recently put on his Facebook page that if he received 50 likes for a picture that showed his work that he would give temporary tattoos to children who are patients at Auckland’s Starship Children’s Hospital.

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

Benjamin’s background shows that he’s been airbrushing his art for ten years and he’s recently broadened his airbrushing skills to temporary tattoos on adults, but now he wants to give to the children.
That Facebook post received 470k likes and 258,341 shares and over 12k comments… the comments are mixed, but mostly people are loving his gift.
He’s a good guy, he’s shared many videos of where he’s gone tattooing and saying, “Nothing brings me joy than boosting kids confidence with a custom tattoo. They only bad thing is that they don’t want to take a shower afterwards.”
He made a visit to Intellectual Handicapped Children, IHC, and airbrushed tattooed them with happy smiles on their faces.
