These days, Jill Duggar has been a bit of a rebel as far as 19 Kids and Counting's Duggar family rules go. Now, it looks like her middle son, Samuel, may be following in her footsteps. In an Instagram post, Samuel showed off a tattoo on his arm. Whoa! What's next, joining a motorcycle gang? Looks like Sam might not be too far off after this!

Jill shared photos from a grocery shopping trip.
There's a then-3-year-old Samuel picking out a watermelon — and under his sleeve, we can totally see his (definitely temporary) ink peeking out. We can't see the full tattoo, unfortunately, but it seems safe to say that Samuel is definitely pulling it off.
Who would have guessed one of the grandchildren would end up being the first Duggar to get tatted up? Not us!
Temporary tattoos are fun for a lot of kids, but we don't remember the Duggar kids ever getting to use them.
As far as we know, the Duggars aren't big believers in body art, so we'd imagine they don't want to encourage it with their young children — even for a tattoo that can be removed with a little soap and water. It's a bummer, though. These kind of tattoos can be a good way for kids to be creative, not to mention a great distraction on a long summer day at home.
Jill's always made her own decisions when it comes to parenting, though.
Case in point: When she enrolled oldest son Israel in public school, becoming the first Duggar to do so after everyone in her family (and all of the grandkids so far) has been homeschooled. Jill's been feuding with her family for a long time, and the differences between their parenting strategies just keep becoming more and more obvious. But Jill isn't doing anything harmful, and her kids seem super happy.
What's a little temporary ink?!

Jill is into a little body art herself.
Let's not forget how shocked we were when Jill Duggar suddenly started showing up in Instagram photos wearing a nose ring. We never thought we'd see the day that she got a piercing like that — or any piercing at all, really — but it was then that we were really convinced she was the true rebel of the family.
Maybe that's something she and Samuel have in common.
We love that Jill lets her kids express themselves.
Israel and Samuel (and baby brother Freddy) seem like such happy kids, even if Jill's Instagram posts remind us that they definitely keep her on her toes. That's in no small part due to how awesome their mom is, especially as she's been figuring out how to be a parent totally separately from the example she was given growing up.
Go, Jill! Sam's tat might not be real, but how happy he was grocery shopping with his mom definitely was.
