Everyone of us wants nothing more than for our kids to feel secure in their own skin and protected from harm. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the world isn’t perfect, and deviations in a child’s look or conduct can sometimes lead to cruel remarks and judgmental attitudes that have no place in contemporary society. <\/p>\n

I have clear memories of the times when my kids would sob uncontrollably as they returned home from school after being teased or called names. <\/p>\n

Although I’ll admit I did become angry with the guilty youngsters, what troubled me the most was my concern that my child may lose confidence and start to doubt themselves. <\/p>\n

One father from Alberta, Canada, has firsthand experience with that.<\/p>\n

According to accounts, 8-year-old Derek Prue Jr. was born with a massive birthmark that spans much of his chest. <\/p>\n

The mark did not injure him in any way, but it caused him to feel self-conscious and anxious about what other kids would think. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Simply put, Derek didn’t want to stand out from the crowd because his birthmark made him unique. <\/p>\n

He had no idea, though, that his father was prepared to go to tremendous measures to make sure that his son would never have to experience a lack of confidence again. <\/p>\n

According to Derek, who spoke candidly to CBC News, his father once went out and got a massive tattoo that exactly matched his son’s birthmark. <\/p>\n

Additionally, he did it covertly, revealing it to Derek Jr. one day as he was having fun in a hotel pool with his sisters.<\/p>\n

Without a doubt, Derek was astonished\u2014in the best conceivable manner. The young youngster claimed that he fell back into the pool grinning broadly. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Derek remarked, \u2018I was thrilled and a little perplexed.\u2019 \u2018I had no idea he would do that.\u2019
\nDerek Sr. was aware that his kid had started to feel self-conscious. <\/p>\n

Derek Sr. remarked, \u2019I knew he was self-conscious about it.\u2019 I felt motivated to act after observing his response since I didn’t want him to be the only one. <\/p>\n

After Derek Sr. made the decision to have the tattoo, he immediately started looking for a skilled tattoo artist. <\/p>\n

Tony Gibbert, owner of the Juicy Quill tattoo shop in Stony Plain, Alberta, was ultimately chosen by him. Gibbert nodded swiftly and got to work fulfilling Derek\u2019s dreams.<\/p>\n

Derrick Jr. and Derrick Sr. are shown here. It’s awesome that he could do this to boost his son’s confidence <\/p>\n

and that we could be a part of their tale because he is the father who had his son’s birthmark inked. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Juicy Quill Tattoo published a message on December 10, 2020. In total, Gibbert worked for 30 hours to complete his task. <\/p>\n

Gibbert told CBC, \u2018He’s been through the wringer sitting for that.\u2019 \u2018That hurts quite a bit.
\n\u2019I think it’s fantastic to be able to console your son in that way,\u2019 the tattoo artist continued. <\/p>\n

\u2019It’s not just that your child sees your name or whatever; you get to genuinely alter how he feels about himself. <\/p>\n

The simple act of being able to go swimming with his father, take off his shirt, and feel content and at ease. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m glad I got to participate in it. I am able to assist him in some tiny way in what he is attempting. <\/p>\n

\u2019I remember the first time coming in, laying down, and then after maybe three, four hours, I was like, <\/p>\n

‘Yeah, are we almost done?’\u2019 Derek Sr. recounted of the tattooing experience. We’re almost finished with the outline, Tony says.<\/p>\n
