Today, my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She's perfect in every way, except for her birth mark. It's under the corner of her left eye and looks almost exactly like a prison teardrop tattoo. FML

Today, despite my warnings and knowing I hate them, my wife got a trashy tattoo of an eye on her ankle, like she’s Count Olaf. How is she going to get a job with that thing? FML
Today, my girlfriend got a new tattoo - the Blink-182 logo on her stomach. I wouldn't mind it, except she got pregnant a month ago and I'm pretty sure that it can't good for the baby. FML
Today, my quite squeamish girlfriend came with me to get my latest tattoo. She saw a few drops of blood, screamed in the tattooist's ear, and completely fucked up part of the outline. She had to alter the tattoo drastically to cover up the mess and now it just looks bad. FML
Today, I finally met my daughter's boyfriend. He has a face tattoo. FML
Today, my wife had our first child. He's identical to her coworker. FML
Today, I have a tattoo of my daughter, who died when she was 11, and I had to have surgery on that body area. I told the surgeon very clearly to cut around the tattoo and he assured me he would. Woke up and the bastard had cut through my daughter's face, and half her face is now under scars and stitches. FML
Today on my birthday, my wife thought it would be a good idea to get matching tattoos. Our tattoo artist happened to be her ex-boyfriend. I sat and listened to them talk about their relationship and how they should stay in touch. FML
Today, my wife knows tattoos are a huge turnoff for me. She decided the best way to change my mind about them would be to get one. Across her neck. Of our dog's name. FML
Today, I found out that my wife is leaving me for a tattoo artist. I was in rehab and she met him getting a tattoo as a surprise for me. FML
Today, I found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. FML

Hey don't worry, she's your daughter and you should love her anyway and it'll just make for an interesting story.

That's not a big deal. You should just be happy that the baby is healthy!

You never know, she could have had a twin in the womb and killed, and then absorbed her. Therefore, the tear drop was meant to be.

I thought was the story was going to end with my best friend has the same mark. I'm glad it did not end like that.

#24: Birth marks aren't genetic. If a friend had the same one it would be an amazing coincidence, nothing more.

Hey see it from the positive side! She doesn't have to prove herself if she wants to join a gang.

Oh don't worry! Many birth marks fade within the first couple years.

Are you an idiot? And all the people who thumbed up this are idiots too. No birth or beauty marks go away or just fade. Have a giant birth mark on my ass. And it's never faded. Have one on my leg, never faded. You my friend are a dumb ass

Lol 133, thanks for letting us know you have a giant birthmark on your ass... :p

Don't call people idiots especially when you don't understand that there are various types of birthmarks, of which DO fade. IDIOT.

It's true. I used to have one on my lower back (my mom told me when I was a baby) but now I can barely see it.

Particularly when she shivs some other kid in daycare.

I have a birthmark under my left eye (much bigger than a tear drop though) & it's occasionally fun to come up with a wild story for it's origin. :P It's never affected my life in a negative way, aside from the occasional stare or impolite remark, but that never bothered me. My parents taught me at a young age to take it in stride, n to handle the situation with tact & consideration. Most people just don't know what it is! Congrats on your baby girl OP! :D

Or a birth mark
sarah_grace_baby 13
Can you read the FML correctly 31? The FML is about a birth mark!
amDes 11
And she can always cover it with makeup with she's older. Not a big deal
SMHsohard 22
And sometimes birthmarks fade or get smaller over time. Even if this one doesn't, she's still your baby and you love her, right?

I think 31 was trying to be sarcastic
Wow_okayyy 13
I was gonna thumbs up, but its at 420 so...

Born to be wild? Just kidding You should love your baby no matter what.

I've never heard of a prison teardrop tattoo, so it can't be too bad. My cousin had a birthmark and was allowed to undergo (laser) surgery when she was 6. Of course, by that time her birthmark will stretch and fade out. It's not like she will be called an ex-con, since she's so young. OP is very lucky to have a healthy baby :)
wlddog 14
Sounds like someone has never been locked up. The tear drop tattoo is pretty well known. This OP is so badass even his kid has a teardrop tattoo. Just incase you didn't know 39, you will never be that badass.
doodlecloud 26
I just googled 'teardrop tattoo' to see which corner it was under...I'll be honest, the tattoos look like birth marks/beauty spots, not the other way around. They're tiny and in the same area that women have drawn on beauty spots for decades...so really not a big deal. She may even love it when she's older if she likes that kind of style.

A prison teardrop indicates you have murdered someone. OP, it's fine. Sometimes birthmarks fade or change. If its that bad, it can be removed.
Snoopy0718 14
I heard that on one side of your face its when you killed someone, and on the other side is when someone you know or close to you passed away.
drpepper2019 21
If you can't be happy with the way your daughter is them that's your loss!
OhDearBetrayal 25
I'm sorry, but where does he say that he loves his daughter less? Let me give you a hint; no where. He's just worried about her growing up with that.
KareBear7364 5
Seriously, #4 calm your shit. Op said his daughter is perfect in every way. But, who wants their kid to have what looks like a tattooed teardrop under their eye? That's something only criminals have.
jmcr 27
I know a lot of ppl with tattoos who arent criminals tattoos are for anyone who wants one
AshleyScruggs 14
#59 didn't say that only criminals get tattoos... she was talking specifically about the teardrop tattoo. Duh.
jmcr 27
What makes a teardrop tattoo so special for criminals anyways and sorry i was tired so i read it as he meant for all tattoos at the time
miyaviichan 27
110, it means you've killed someone.
jmcr 27
Really? Why a tear drop though?
trivel64 16
It's just a commonly accepted symbol, just like a red octagon means "stop." Google it if you're still not sure.

No.

Great profile pic, but a terrible comment.
mpsteve137 15
Well when she's older guys wont want to mess with her
Zen_Mei 17
My thoughts exactly!!
mpsteve137 15
Mine too
borabear 2
Nor will they want to be with her though:(
watchme 11
I would think it's more of a clown looking tattoo.
floridagreg 10
Unfortunately, it actually means that you've killed someone.
timakinz 21
Hey it might suit her beautifully when she grows up. And she'll definitely be a special one
spunkylady 24
Awh but imperfections are what makes us unique.

You can get birth marks removed if it bothers you that much.
jackiemora 18
It's not his birthmark for it to bother. Like everyone else said, that shouldn't stop him from loving her especially because she did come out healthy. And OP, a birthmark is nothing compared to what she could have came out with.
Mauskau 35
Yes, but if that's his only complaint and he's worried it could cause her problems in life he can ask to get it removed. But I'm sure his child looks fine. But yeah you should love your child no matter what, at least he has one.
