A young father from Texas is making headlines after covering the entire right side of his face with a tattoo of his toddler son. OddityCentral reports:
20-year-old Christien Sechrist said that the inking was a way of paying tribute to his toddler son, whom he had almost lost. And in spite of all the negative comments, he says he doesn’t regret his decision and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
Christien’s picture first appeared on Imgur last week, from where it was picked up by the media. It shows the tattoo, featuring a black-and-grey portrait of his son Perseus, taking up almost the entire left side of his face. According to news reports, he got the tattoo done last July, after he had almost lost his son.
Although the tattoo was the ultimate expression of love for Christien, lots of commenters felt that there are better ways to show how much you love someone. Others appreciated the artwork, but expressed concerns regarding Christien’s ability to get a job, as society frowns upon face tattoos. “Well, my son looked at it and smiled so that’s all I care about,” the proud father wrote.
