Parents Tattoo Their Legs With Daughter’s Birthmark So She Won’t Feel Different

ADVERTISEMENT

Large and obvious birthmarks can make school life hard for children, but a couple of caring parents in the UK have found a controversial way to combat this issue. Tanya and Adam Phillips got huge tattoos stretching up their right legs to match the birthmark that their 18-month-old daughter, Honey-Rae, has on her leg.

Read on to get more of the story, and then let us know what you think about their decision in the comments!

More info: mirror (h/t: elitedaily)

“Although in our eyes she was perfect, I knew people would cruelly point and stare at her”

“I was stood at a check out till, when I saw an old couple whispering and staring at Honey-Rae’s leg. I was distraught. It was first time I had taken her out without covering her up and it confirmed all my worries and fears. People are cruel without even realising”

“We had talked about having duplicate tattoos done for a little while but that day my mind was made up”

“When the swelling went down, I showed Honey-Rae, and she gently touched it and smiled as she said ‘Match,’ pointing to her own leg. If I’d have needed any reassurance that I’d made the right decision that was it”

I think this is showing the parents true love to their child! It shows their are different people but also the fact that she is not alone!

I met my bff when we were 11, and became inseparable immediately.. 5 yrs later a fairly new addition to our group of friends asked me about the port wine mark on her face. I had no clue what she was talking about. When I saw her next, I saw the mark but I never remembered it before, and I asked her about it. She said she'd had it from birth, and used to be self conscious about it, but I never mentioned it or stared at it, and when I gave her a makeover once (she never wore make up and I was curious) she said that when I started I looked at her face close and said that she had porcelain skin and didn't need foundation. She said after that, she stopped thinking everyone was staring at it. It's been 23 years since we met and she's still my bff, but we're in different states now and don't get to see her that often. Writing this now, I can see her beautiful porcelain skin, but I wasn't able to remember which side has the mark. This girl is beautiful too, and lucky to have loving parents...

My sister has strawberries on her legs too. We never thought more than it looked like strawberries and that's what we called it.

Dare we hope something like this developing product might be adaptable to treating birthmarks, as well?: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/no

Are you a mixed race couple ? That marking looks like a Blue Spot which is common in mixed race children .It will fade if it is .

There is absolutely nothing wrong with her. And I believe Parents bit exaggerated their daughters condition! I have same birthmark on arm!

Tears came to my eyes the moment I read the caption matching the photograph. Well done Mom and Dad.

I think that they should go to Cynosure and have the birthmarks removed and the tattoos too! Their products work 100%

I think they should check out Cynosure laser which removes all birthmarks and tattoos.

I don't mean to sound like a prick but it looks like a false sense of security to me.

I think people are more likely to take the p**s for her being called "Honey-Rae"

Honey-Rae will know how much her parents love her to endure the pain from those tattoos just so she would have some normalcy at home.GREAT!!

That goes to show you that parents will go above and beyond for their kids. It can't get any better then that. I'd do the same for mine.

I think that they are supporting and loving her the best way they know how. Good on them.
