The man noticed that his son was embarrassed to undress in the pool, and later realized why. The boy was worried about a birthmark on his body, but his father figured out how to help the child. Heavy artillery was used – a tattoo. But not for my son, but for myself.
Tattoos are a whole art. Everyone who decides to decorate their body with an ink pattern has its own story. Some people just enjoy the process, stuffing themselves with thousands of images, others try to hide a difficult childhood with body art.
The tattoo of Alberta resident Derek Prue also has a special meaning. Drawing a man tried to inspire confidence in his own son, writes CBC.
Derek’s eight-year-old son, also named Derek, is very shy about his own body. It was the boy’s father who noticed when his son stopped undressing in the pool. Derek Jr. has a large birthmark on his chest – it became the cause of the child’s experiences.
In order to somehow cheer up his son and save him from unnecessary sorrows, the father decided to surprise the boy. Prue turned to a tattoo artist who could apply a similar pattern to a man’s body. So the Canadian wanted to become equal with his son and show the boy that a skin defect should not be embarrassed.
I knew he wasn’t sure of himself because of that. I saw the reaction of my son, so I wanted to do it.
But the man did not yet know that he would really have to be a hero. After all, the head of the Prue family had to sit out 30 hours of a painful procedure in a tattoo parlor in order to finally get the finished result and show it to his son.
This is an opportunity to swim with your father, calmly take off your T-shirt and just feel comfortable. I’m glad I became a part of this project. A little bit, but I still helped in this matter, – tattoo artist Tony Gibbert shared.
Derek Sr. showed the boy the results of painstaking work on the next family visit to the pool. The child could not believe his own eyes.
I was so happy, though a little confused. I didn’t even know that he was up to something like that,” the boy said.
Now the father and son have a common “mark” that will bind relatives all their lives
According to Derek’s parents, the child is no longer shy and is now proud of his mark. Indeed, the heroism of his father was worth it.
