Copying the Birthmark as a Tattoo Took a Local Artist Over Thirty Hours to Complete
Derek Sr. went above and beyond in his efforts to get a tattoo that matches the birthmark of his eight-year-old son. The thoughtful dad turned to the artists at Juicy Quill Tattoo in Alberta and explained the situation. The owner, Tony Gibert, was quick to accept the challenge, and once the tattoo was ready, he said he felt glad that he got to help encourage Derek.
Gibert shared with the media that he believes it is an amazing thing for a father to be able to help his son like that. He also added that few people have the opportunity to actually change the way their kids feel about themselves and was happy to have been a part of the process. The tattoo took around thirty hours in total to complete, spread over the span of approximately eight weeks.
Prue Sr. Did Not Expect Getting the Birthmark Tattoo Would Take That Long
Gibert said Prue went through the wringer sitting through the quite painful process of getting a tattoo as large as a birthmark. Even though Prue initially expected everything would be ready in just a few hours, he was still up to the challenge and powered through. He even said to the media that it felt good to do it and felt glad he did not know how long it would take.
Now with a tattoo matching the birthmark of his son, Prue looks forward to taking him to the pool. After showing the tattoo to her son, the mother, Shanel Prue, asked him if he would go swimming without a shirt on, and he said that whenever his dad is there, he can take the shirt off. For Prue Sr., the long hours and pain were all worth it.
