The five-year-old who tattooed her father

Some children have a passion for colouring, but five-year-old Emilie Darrigade took things a little farther when she inked in her father's new tattoo at a busy studio.

Emilie etched the detailed picture of a bumble bee surrounded by a laurel crown on her father Dave's forearm.



She chose the design herself because 'Bumble Bee' is her father's nickname for her. Under the guidance of tattooist Robin Labreche at his studio in Montreal, Canada, Emilie filled in the black and yellow colour on the design as well as the green in the laurel.

Dave said: 'Emilie was watching when Robin asked her if she would like to tattoo her dad by filling in the yellow in the bee. Everyone who was in the shop came to see Emilie at work and were all amazed at her relaxed demeanour.'
