Brave ten-year-old Kao, from Thailand, had a vulgar word tattoed on his forehead by twisted bullies. The poor boy has since had to endure laser treatment to remove the inking
A group of bullies pinned down a young student and tattooed the word ‘p***y’ across his forehead using a makeshift gun.
The young boy, named Kao, was subjected to the cruel branding in the Kanchanaburi province in Thailand. The 10-year-old also had his arms and legs plastered in twisted designs. Since the attack, he has had to endure intense laser sessions to remove the nasty word.
Local eyebrow tattoo artist, Janjira “Frame” Kaewket, said she witnessed the crime take place. She quickly offered to remove the multiple inkings in a bid to restore the victim’s confidence. Janjira, who is the owner of Chaiyaphum Beautiful Eyebrows salon, said she reassured Kao that she would return his appearance to normal.

The 10-year-old received the first round of laser removal, with photos showing him wearing goggles while Ms Kaewket works on the tattoo. “I was shocked that someone would dare tattoo such a young child,” the artist said. “But I assured him the tattoos could easily be removed because they were only using a tool, a sewing needle attached to a pen.”
The removal took just 15 minutes, Ms Kaewket explained, adding that they “had to leave the anaesthetic on for about an hour because the boy is so young”. She added: “It wasn’t just on his forehead. There were over ten spots on his legs, all of which we managed to remove for him.”
Luckily, the tattoos were not embedded too deeply, meaning the damage can be fully reversed after just three laser sessions. After the images went viral across social media in Thailand, people flocked to his defence and said: “Shame on those that did this to him,” while another questioned “Who would be so cruel?”.
In response to the salon owner’s free help, people praised Ms Kaewket. “Thank you to this very good-hearted woman,” one person said. “This was very kind of her. The world needs more people like this,” another user added. A third said: “Not all heroes wear capes.”
