so lovely...... parents get matching tattoos that resembles their daughter's birthmark

Tanya and Adam Phillips’s baby girl named honey-rae was born with an unusual bright red birthmark on her right foot that travels from her leg all the way up to her back. The British parents didn’t want their lovely daughter to feel self-conscious about it, so they made an extraordinary gesture: They got matching tattoos that looks like Honey-Rae’s birthmark.

When Honey-Rae was born, Tanya says she cried at the realization that her daughter would most likely feel ostracized because of her birthmark. “For the first few months of her life, whenever we went out, I made sure her legs were covered up,” she says. “I couldn’t cope with stranger’s curious glances or whispering comments.”
We wanted Honey-Rae to feel special, that her birthmark was something to feel proud of and not embarrassed by,” Tanya, the mother, told the U.K.’s Mirror on Wednesday. “Most people might think it’s very extreme, but to us it was the natural thing to do to ensure our daughter never felt different or alone in the world.”
So over Christmas, her husband Adam covered his leg in a tattoo that resembles their daughter’s birthmark, a process that lasted two-and-a-half-hours. And last week for her 40th birthday, Tanya got her own tattoo, an experience she called “incredibly painful” but “worth every second.”

That was made all the more clear when Honey-Rae’s saw their parents’ tattoos. “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….She now constantly touches mine and Adam’s tattoos then her own birthmark and giggles — I couldn’t be happier,” says Tanya.
