loc - One baby's parents thought it'd look a lot cuter with a charming tattoo, but TikTok users don't seem to get the joke.

It's one thing to actually ink your baby, and it's another to get them an airbrush "tattoo" at the zoo while your tatted husband holds down the fort.

However, the internet is a wild place, and one TikTok user found that out the hard way. In a video posted by @stetsyboiii, a tattooed man is seen holding his baby while a woman airbrushes a fake tattoo on the child's leg that reads "Mom" in the middle of a heart.

The video, which has garnered over 16.6 million views, seemed to throw the internet for quite the loop, as many chimed in to share their utter concern over the harmless act.

"Is that real???" one user wrote, while another posed a valid, albeit ridiculous, question: "What if he doesn’t like it when he grows up?"

Another TikToker simply commented, "sad."

But, thankfully, not everyone was deceived by what's so obviously the scene from a day of innocent family fun, as one user quipped, "I panicked and then I saw the airbrush and smiled. I got so scared."

Another pointed out just how ridiculous it was that anyone was actually concerned about what was happening in the vid, writing, "The fact that some people thought this was real doesn’t know how tattoo actually work. This is super adorable!"

Besides, there's nothing wrong with a little airbrush fun that will easily wash off!
