My father does the tattoo of the boy's surgery

Joey, at the age of six, had a heart surgery that left him a visible sign. Dad, to make the kid feel good, he tattooed a similar scar in the same place.

Little Joey, only six years old, left the operating room with a big sign on his body. What appears to be a <x0degent” has become a tattoo of the child's father, who has decided to carve the child's mark on his skin.

A tattoo to face the same challenge together

Joey, at six years of age, had to face an important challenge: The child has actually underwent surgery for an aortal stenosis aimed at expanding this important artery.

That's why the father chose to get a tattoo

Intervention, reported by many international media, has left a mark on the child's body. Joey's father, Martin, wanted to express his solidarity and closeness to his son, so much so that he made a vertical tattoo cut that looked very much like the boy's sign.

The father, like the baby's mother, wants his son Joey to be proud of his wound as a symbol of a victory over medical intervention despite his youth. A few years later, Joey's younger brother, Haley, will have to undergo the same operation - he is actually suffering from the same diagnosis.

Meanwhile, the Children's Heart Surgery Fund launched #SelphiePlaga's #SelphiePage in social networks, aimed at solidifying with all people with problems and congenital heart disease.
