Bum prints “bumpkins” unnecessary and a little creepy?

[SNWannabe]

This is a new thing apparently and being offered at ceramic painting places. I think it’s undignified for babies and the detail in the prints are pretty clear and I find it weird and a bit creepy anyone would want to display their child’s bottom in this way.
AIBU?

You really never heard of kids doing handprints or footprints in paint? Not saying I don't believe you , I'm just surprised, I think they're cute .

Yes I find it very odd and uncomfortable too!

Going against the grain I kind of love them! I wish I'd had one of my daughter when she was a baby! Her tiny bum was so cute!!

My baby has the cutest bum in the entire world so would actually love one of these 🤣

I never even got round to an extortionate clay handprint.

Just googled blumpkin … 🤢 … Why, just Why??

Pottery place in my town has been doing those for about 4/5 years.

Bloody hideous!

I thought I was well versed on the hideous things that might happen between people but I was wrong. (I Googled blumpkin and I'll share the knowledge)

Yeah I’ve seen these around for the last couple of years. I can’t say I like them.

They're fucking awful. I mean, most parents think their babies bottoms are cute but actually painting their arse then sitting them on a cold, ceramic plate doesn't seem like it would be the most fun trip out.

Sums it up perfectly.

I’ll bet the parents buying this also did gender reveals and cake smashes.

christ on a bike why??

Just saw this exact post on FB and said to DH "is it me? Who the fuck wants to get their baby's arse out in a cafe and paint it orange?" I've not been to this cafe for a while and there used to be completely separate eating and painting areas but I know after Covid the parties that booked stayed at 1 table to paint & eat. I hope at least that's changed and they've got a designated bare bum table.

Of course I've heard of kids doing handprints and footprints in paint. But that is something you do with an older baby/toddler who is enjoying the whole idea of the paint and the mess and the fun of it.

Taking a ceramic print of a baby's 'first' prints is something I associate with mementos for stillborn babies. I know a lot of hospitals will offer to do this, and it is hugely valuable. But, because of that association, I wouldn't like to do a print of a living newborn baby's hands and feet.

Every day is a school day here. Why did I Google blumpkin?

Creepy af!

Bit too close to the old photocopy your arse, drunk office parties trope for me!

yanbu, they’re horrible! they just remind me of shit smeared all over a bum

Awww I think that's a bit cute!

Actually getting on a bike is the only valid reason to take an imprint of someone's bum! 😂
Well bike saddles to be more precise. There are devices where you sit in something like memory foam to measure the distance between your sit bones to decide what size saddle fits you best. I don't think that applies to babies though and it's temporary!
Taking an actual cast of anybody's backside and displaying it is downright weird. Can't imagine how the subjects of this "art" will feel if their parents still have them on display once they're old enough to realise what it is.

I googled dragon butter.
I'm not googling blumpkin.
Never Google dragon butter!

I guess we could have one of Little Jonny age 1 month. Little Jonny age 35 not so much 😂Dont think dh's bum will fit on A4.

Don't Google either of these....just don't.

Why didn't i listen when warned.

There are some weird people in this world 😫😲😳

Ugh. Why is everything nowadays a blatant attempt to dissolve children's boundaries?

🤣🤣🤣
