With tattoos becoming increasingly popular, it is not uncommon to come across individuals who have extensive body art. Unfortunately, some people face criticism and even calls for their children to be taken from them. One such case is that of a Canadian man named Remy who has spent over $100,000 on tattoos and has encountered criticism on social media, with some people telling him he’s not a suitable father.
He doesn’t feel guilty about being a tattooed dad.
Despite his extensive amount of ink, Remy doesn’t feel guilty about his tattoos, nor does he believe they’ve changed who he is as a person or a father. He says, “Tattoos and piercings haven’t changed at all, so I wasn’t worried that my son would see me differently.”
But the man has been criticized for not being a stereotypical father.
Remy shared that he has received online comments suggesting that his son should be taken away from him due to his appearance. He stated, “I’ve had a few people say things like my son should be taken from me because of how I look, but this is only ever online.”
He continued, “My argument to that would be that if you think that way, you should never have children yourself.”
Remy added that while people stare at him in public, they only say nice things and ask questions about his tattoos. “People stare a bit [in public] but they only say nice things and ask how long it took, how I handle the pain, and generally compliment my work,” he attests.
His child is nonchalant toward his father’s tattoos.
Remy’s first tattoo was of his son’s name, but since then, he has become obsessed with getting more and more ink. His son never really noticed his tattoos.
“He’s never really noticed them, as I was already pretty different looking [when he was born in 2009] — it’s completely normal for him. As he’s gotten older, he’s become very nonchalant, and it’s actually made him more tolerant of people being different looking, I believe,” Remy says.
In fact, Remy’s son’s favorite tattoo is the eye on his stomach and chest.
Being a good parent has nothing to do with superficial looks.
While some may argue that Remy’s tattoos make him an unfit parent, it’s important to remember that body modification is a personal choice and doesn’t necessarily reflect one’s ability to be a good parent. As long as a parent is providing a safe and loving environment for their child, their appearance should not be a factor in determining their ability to care for their children.
One of Remy’s fans explained things in a wonderful way.
As one commenter on Remy’s story put it, “You give the cloth and care about what you do. As long as you can put a roof over your child’s head, it’s not anyone’s job.” Ultimately, it’s up to each individual to decide how they want to present themselves to the world, and that decision should not be used to judge their worth as a parent.
As we conclude this story of unfair judgment and inked journeys, it’s only the beginning of our exploration into the world of those living tattooed lives. In our next article, we’ll introduce you to a mom whose 800 tattoos have become a barrier to employment, shedding light on the surprising consequences of living life fully inked.

Justin Bieber Shares Crying Photos and Fans Are Worried
From his meteoric rise to fame as a teenager to his more recent successes in music and personal growth, Justin Bieber’s journey has been closely followed by millions. However, it’s not just his chart-topping hits and sold-out concerts that keep fans invested in his story; it’s also his willingness to share his struggles and vulnerabilities, particularly through social media platforms.
In 2023, Bieber made headlines when he decided to end his Justice World Tour prematurely to prioritize his health. The reason behind this decision was his diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that comes from the same virus as chickenpox.
Despite the disappointment of canceling tour dates, Bieber chose to be transparent with his fans about his health journey. Taking to Instagram, he shared a candid video, showcasing the temporary paralysis he experienced—a symptom of the condition. This openness not only provided insight into his challenges but also fostered a deeper connection with his audience.
Recently, Bieber once again turned to social media to share a glimpse into his emotional state. In a series of photos, the 30-year-old singer showcased various moments from his life, including moments on stage, and casual snapshots. However, it was the final two images that sparked a strong response from fans. In these selfies, Bieber can be seen with tears streaming down his face, his vulnerability laid bare for the world to see.
The outpouring of support from fans was immediate and heartfelt. Comments flooded in, expressing concern, empathy, and encouragement. Some reassured Bieber of their unwavering support, while others offered words of solace and prayers. Even Bieber’s partner, Hailey Bieber, joined in, affectionately remarking on his appearance as a “pretty crier.”
What makes Justin Bieber‘s openness on social media so impactful is its authenticity. In an era where carefully curated images often dominate feeds, Bieber’s willingness to share both the highs and lows of his life serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity. By showcasing his vulnerabilities, he not only invites empathy and understanding but also encourages others to embrace their own imperfections.
