The gallery doesn't convince me; the close-ups are too close to show scale. They could just as easily be adult tatoos. The shots of the kids getting inked are too far to show if they are real or not. And, the tattoos are finished already, there's no "reddening" of the skin around the art, like in the close-ups, they are most likely temp tattoos. Even the kid in the Raiders jersey I'm sure is faking the cry.
I checked the addresses and the first one, 743 Rainier Ave, WA, 98055 is actually in Renton, a suburb of Seattle, and is a Wal-Mart. The second, 2301 WEST Wellesley Ave, Spokane, WA 99205 is another Wal-Mart. I haven't checked the others, I'm satisfied it's fake.
