A schoolboy has been left scarred by his classmates after they tattooed the word “p***y* on his forehead using a makeshift tattoo gun. The 10-year-old was the victim of brutal bullying, which took place in the Kanchanaburi province of Western Thailand. A group of children etched the vulgar word onto his forehead, as well as covering his arms and legs in crude designs. 

After images of the crude tattoos were posted onto social media, people were left outraged. Local eyebrow tattoo artist Janjira “Frame” Kaewket was among those who saw the bullying act and decided to offer her services to the boy for free. The owner of Chaiyaphum Beautiful Eyebrows salon in Kanchanaburi removed the tattoos on the boy using laser treatment, which can often be a costly procedure. 

The 10-year-old received the first round of laser removal, with photos showing him wearing goggles while Ms Kaewket works on the tattoo.

“I was shocked that someone would dare tattoo such a young child,” the artist said. “But I assured him the tattoos could easily be removed because they were only using a tool, a sewing needle attached to a pen.”

The removal took just 15 minutes, Ms Kaewket explained, adding that they “had to leave the anaesthetic on for about an hour because the boy is so young”. 

She added: “It wasn’t just on his forehead. There were over ten spots on his legs, all of which we managed to remove for him.”

Luckily, the tattoos were not embedded too deeply, meaning the damage can be fully reversed after just three laser sessions.

After the images went viral across social media in Thailand, people flocked to his defence and said: “Shame on those that did this to him,” while another questioned “Who would be so cruel?”.

In response to the salon owner’s free help, people praised Ms Kaewket. “Thank you to this very good-hearted woman,” one person said. “This was very kind of her. The world needs more people like this,” another user added. 

A third said: “Not all heroes wear capes.”
