"Each one of these tattoos on my right arm my son has drawn over the years. The first tattoo is from when he was 4; he is now 11," Keith told photographer Chance Faulkner who recently did an interview and portrait series with the cool dad.

"I have had three different artists tattoo these drawings over the years," said Keith. "Recently, my son was there with me and he did some of the tattooing himself. He loves it."

Explaining how fun it is, Keith said: "no one I know has ever heard of tattooing original kid art before, and it's a lot of fun"

"People ask me what will happen if I run out of space; I guess I'll just get him to draw smaller pictures," he said
