“After sharing my videos on TikTok, there was a mixed reaction.
"A lot of it was hate but some were funny. Also, I've got so many requests from my customers asking if they can now bring their kids and 'tattoo' them – of course, I've said yes.”
In the 12-second reel, Ayala can be seen placing a purple stencil of a tattoo on the right leg of the baby, as the baby’s dad clicks his fingers in front of the baby’s face to distract him.
In the comments, fans shared their thoughts on the tattoo, with one writing: “My daughter would love a ‘real tattoo’’ like this to match mine! Much better than the at-home version.”
