Dad Gets Tattoo To Match Son's Birthmark

Over in Canada, Derek Prue noticed his 8-year-old son (Derek Jr.) refused to go swimming without a shirt on. Which is fine in itself, but when his dad pressed him on it, Derek Jr. admitted to being really self-conscious about this birthmark he has.

It’s a dark spot shaped almost like a circle, and it goes around one of his pecs and comes down to his stomach and around his side.

“Now we have the same marks for life.”
