UK parents get huge red tattoos to support daughter with birthmark
WHEN Honey-Rae Phillips was born with a giant strawberry birthmark, her mother and father wanted to show she was just like everyone else.
But their act of devotion has gone beyond even the most caring parents' wildest dreams.
Tanya and Adam Phillips each adorned their legs with mammoth tattoos, mimicking perfectly the blemishes which run up the right side of their 18-month-old daughter's body, Daily Mail reported yesterday.
The proud couple, from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, were in tears when they first saw Honey-Rae after she was born in 2013, the report said.
Although her strawberry birthmark is completely harmless, they were afraid the skin blotches - which affect one in ten children - could harm Honey-Rae's self-confidence when she grew up, according to the report.
When her daughter was barely a year old, Mrs Phillips was horrified to discover pensioners pointing at her and whispering next to a shop till.
So for Christmas she paid for the two-and-a-half-hour, £80 procedure on her husband's leg - with plasterer Mr Phillips repaying the favour ahead of her 40th birthday this week, the report said.
The couple already had tattoos on their legs, but none as extreme as the imitation birthmarks.
Now they have had the procedure done, Honey-Rae couldn't be happier - and even points at the tattoos and yells "match!", the report said.
