After noticing that his son had begun to cover up his birthmark, which he was proud of, father wanted to let him know that he was not alone.
To help his kid feel more secure, he made the decision to get the same birthmark permanently inked on himself.
When the father went to Juicy Quill Tattoo, he anticipated the tattoo session to last a few hours. But it actually lasted 30 hours, with the first session being around four hours.
Derek Sr. was committed to demonstrating to his kid that he was not alone. He should be proud of his birthmark despite the suffering and time investment.
In order to show his son the tattoo, which was an exact reproduction of his son’s birthmark, Derek Sr. removed his shirt as the whole family arrived back at the swimming pool.
The youngster was astonished that his father had done this for him and was overjoyed to see it.
The youngster also made the decision to remove his t-shirt and compare his birthmark to his father’s tattoo.
Derek Jr. now feels more confident and is no longer ashamed of his birthmark. So all of his father’s suffering at the tattoo parlor was worthwhile.
The father’s affection and support had a profound effect on his son’s sense of value and self-esteem.
This is a moving illustration of the love a father may have for his child and the extent he will go to ensure his happiness and well-being.
