This is a recent story I read online and it truly is amazing!
Art and illustration comes in so many forms and helps people in so many ways that we dont even see infront of us every single day.
Suzy Barry and Jason Ward of Hamilton,
New Zealand, have developed a heartwarming Friday afternoon ritual.
Barry, who has Down Syndrome, has a temporary tattoo applied to her arm
by Ward, a professional tattoo artist. Ward treats her the way he would
any other client: he wears gloves, uses a spray gun, and stencils on her
skin.
Except he does it for free.
The story received unprecedented amounts of attention after gaining traction on Facebook
Suzie says that the way Jason applies her fake tattoos – the same way he applies real ones – makes her feel “equal.”
For him, it’s simple. “I take five minutes out of my day to keep her smiling.
There are people in the community that you can do this for. It’s great that people want to do something for Suzie, but they could look a little closer to home. If you just do one thing for one person everyday that makes them smile, then that’s your day. If everybody does that then everybody’s smiling.”
