An eight-year-old ink whizz kid tattooed designs on his father's arm.

Footage shows the youngster Nong Night looking like a professional artist and drawing a large dragon sleeve while his father lay on the couch in Chonburi province, Thailand.

Proud father Nattawut Sangtong said: ‘He used to watch many videos on the phone. I was only trying to keep him from watching too much after coming home from school.

‘My son then told me he wanted to learn how to tattoo. I don't have a tattoo shop or accept any tattoo work.'

However, Nattawut added that what started as a hobby became the boy's favourite activity.

He said: ‘At first, I just wanted to take him off the videos, but he seemed to like it so much. He is also good at it, so I let him draw some of his designs on my skin using a real device.'
