Summary: Boy was bullied severely for liking My Little Pony. The 11 year old boy tried committing suicide, but is hospitalized at the moment. Tattoo Artist heard about the kid and offers discounted My Little Pony Tattoos and the proceeds will go towards to stop bullying. Kid is still unresponsive and is using breathing and feeding tubes to stay alive.

what is wrong with this world that an 11-year old boy wants to die?
aren't there countless worse things out there than liking my little pony? kids can be so cruel!

i like the idea

I wish I lived anywhere close to Texas right now - I would go get my first tattoo if I did!

Great idea, Tattoo guy.  Oh - An update from Feb. 7th says Michael is now able to breathe on his own.

I wish that shop were in Seattle!  The shop owner is pretty cool.

[StarDapple]

What a great idea!  It is tragic that this happened, but I am heartened by the outpouring of support for the poor boy.  I just wish there will be a day when gender-norms aren't so rigid that things like this happen.

That is so cool. I wish it was closer. I want one.

How awesome, what a nice guy for doing this I really hope the little boy will be ok

[Lorelei Redfern]

i wish i was closer i'd love to get one!  and i'm glad to hear that   the little boys able to breathe.

If a shop in LA were doing that, I'd consider it. A tattoo is permanent but maybe something like a cutie mark (I'd probably get Cadence's, symbol of love to combat hate) would be doable.

I saw this story the other day on... another site I'm not allowed to link to.

The tattoos aren't the only charity going for this boy. I'm very tempted by these pony headbands.

This is a pretty nice thing he is doing! On another note this world is a mean place.  I hope that boy makes it!
