A COUPLE have come under fire after taking their baby to a tattoo salon - however, it's the little boy's name that's got everyone talking.
Mum and TikToker Morgan Presley, who welcomed the baby in May, explained that she simply didn't ''trust people'' enough to get a babysitter.

As the two parents were desperate to have their facial piercings changed, they decided to take their baby son to the tattoo salon with them.
In the now-viral video, Morgan explained that her son had reached the ''grabby'' stage and was constantly pulling her eyebrow piercings.
''My luck, he would rip them out,'' she said.
Knowing she would face backlash, the mum-of-one also said: ''To the people who will say, 'Just get a babysitter ' - I don't trust people.''
While the couple were getting their piercings changed to more fitting ones, their son was chilling and peacefully sleeping in the background.
However, while the pair were chuffed with their new facial piercings, Morgan and her partner came under fire for taking the little one along to the tattoo salon.
One person wondered: ''not hating at all, but in the uk tattoo and piercing shops are 18+, surprised they let your baby in there, is that normal in all parts of usa?''
Another was baffled, writing: ''You don't trust people but you post him online?''
A third critic chimed in: ''Once again people proving they shouldn't be parents.''
But it's not just the day-out at the tattoo salon that sparked a fierce debate - Morgan and her husband were also slammed for naming their baby ''Pony''.

The parents revealed the son's name earlier this year in a video that's since gone viral, admitting that finding a boy that ''excited'' them was ''so hard''.
''Instead of going to baby name lists, we went to our record collection trying to look for a record that kind of spoke to us the most, that had sentimental meaning.
''And that's how we ended up landing on Pony Ramone Presley.''
In the clip, Morgan added that Presley was not his last name - and was intended for ''safety'' reasons.
''On our first date, we danced to this record by Orville Peck which is called Pony.''
Meanwhile, the middle name was inspired by The Ramones - a band the two were ''heavily, heavily listening to'' during the pregnancy journey.
'We are naming future adults not just babies'
The boy's name, as adorable as it may be, has not proven to be a major hit amongst concerned social media users, who slammed the parents.
One said: ''Giving him a fake last name from his safety doesn't feel very useful lmao. How many Pony Ramones are there?''
Another wrote: ''I've said it once I've said it again we are naming future adults not just babies.''
