From pesky skin issues to those ever-changing hormonal surges – being a middle schooler can be tough. And when you’re going through that geeky pimply-faced phase, sometimes you can’t help but feel all alone in your awkwardness.
Sometimes it’s hard to find that perfect balance of trying to fit in but not stand out too much. And when you are a little different than other students, sometimes you wish you could fly under the radar without drawing too much attention to yourself.
Being different can sometimes lead to being bullied, a common issue for young people everywhere, like Xavier, a 12-year-old boy from Orlando, Florida.
Recently diagnosed with scoliosis and Pectus, the middle school student was told he had to wear a back brace until his spine straightened out and he was done growing.
Not wanting to draw attention to himself, Xavier tried to wear the cumbersome brace under his clothes at school, but it was uncomfortable. Once he began wearing it on the outside of his clothes, the bullying began.
Out of concern for her son, mom Ashley King put out a message on her Facebook page, asking people if they knew of any place that would airbrush something cool on Xavier’s back brace.
The legendary tattoo artist, Angel “Evil Tattu” Ruiza, at Anarchy Tattoos & Art Co. offered to airbrush an amazingly cool shark that would make Xavier feel a whole lot better about having to wear a back brace. All at no charge!
No stranger to kind deeds, Angel also gave free tattoos to honor those who died in the Orlando Pulse tragedy earlier this year.
Xavier and his mother were thrilled with the results and now he walks around with his head held high, thanks to his own special guardian “Angel.”
And Here’s Angel

“Okay FB , I just left the Orthopedic Dr. , And Xavier is going to have to wear this back brace longer then expected. He has scoliosis and Pectus, this is suppose to help him straighten out in his growing years. He’s embarrassed to wear this to school. Last year he wore it under his shirt but it’s very noticeable , and got picked on. I’m looking for a place that can possibly do a airbrush design on this in Orlando . Please share this help him out. Thanks !!”And that’s when Angel appeared.
