Tikok viral tattoo artist Knight is 9 years old and would like to open his own salon

The nine-year-old Napat Mitmakorn Tinkt a cumbersome tattoo pistol with its small hands, which were flooded in surgical gloves, professionally with the pattern of a prisoner snake on the upper thigh of a man.

“I want to be a tattoo artist and open my own Tattoo salon«, He says in his stand on a Bangkok Tattoo Expo, where fascinated participants were to film his work.

Tattoo is a centuries-old tradition in Thailand, in which tattoo parlors are omnipresent and offer designs from age and spiritual to modern and profane.

Napat's father, Nattawut Sangtong, said that he presented his son – who goes with the nickname “knight” in the craft of tattooing to linger the pitfalls of contemporary childhood.

“I just wanted to keep him away from his phone because he was Addicted to play And had a short attention span, ”said the 38-year-old, also an amateur tattoo artist who works in a block printing factory.
