Perhaps this proud father went further than everyone else - he makes himself real tattoos based on the drawings of his son.

Thus, for the past seven years, a mountaineer, cyclist and adventurer Keith Anderson from Ontario applies permanent body art to his hands based on drawings by his son Kai. The first tattoo was done by a proud father when the boy was only four. Since then, Anderson has added a tattoo every year - the tradition cannot be broken, he said.

It got to the point that the photographer Chance Faulkner became interested in a kind of creative tandem of father and son, offering to take several pictures. This is how a touching series of photographs was born, in which Anderson demonstrates his unique tattoos and leafs through the "book of poems" - a touching album of poems and sketches, which his son gave him.

According to Anderson, thanks to this slightly strange tradition, he and Kai became closer, began to understand each other better. Kai began to realize what his father was ready to do for him. In addition, the boy became addicted to art, and at the age of eleven he draws well. Once he even tried to tattoo his father on his own, of course, everything took place in a tattoo parlor under the supervision of an experienced master.

“We will continue until my son gets tired of it. So far, he really likes the process. However, there is less and less space on my body, I think it is worth asking him to make smaller sketches,”says Anderson Sr.in an interview.
