So our son put a painted rock in front of needleplay tattoo shop this week.. they not only kept the rock and out it on display for everyone to see but they went above and beyond to make my son smile... They brought him in for lunch and a stencil tattoo that he was able to draw up himself...... He was over the moon! Then if that wasn't enough they did our sons signature on our legs.. we had such an amazing day. They showed my son that being kind and making people smile is noticed... Thank guys for imprinting this memory in our hearts and making our sons day!!
