Embracing A Birthmark
“Nevus flammeus! Make a tattoo that is fabulous!” It sounds like a Harry Potter spell, doesn’t it? However, nevus flammeus isn’t as fantastical as it sounds. It’s the fancy medical term for a port-wine stain, which results from tiny blood vessels that grew too big for their own good, causing skin discoloration.
You can zap the anomaly away with a laser if it’s bothersome, but this woman chose to embrace her birthmark by getting a punny tattoo to compliment it, and it works well whether you know the name of the condition or not. We love tattoos that play with our unique features.
