A kindhearted dad had an identical replica of his one-year-old son’s surgery scar tattooed on his head to help him feel more confident when he grows up.

Drake Britt, 26, got inked after Damian had emergency surgery to remove a cyst from the right side of his skull.

Little Damian was rushed to hospital by air ambulance where doctors performed the intensive neurological procedure.

The operation was a complete success and Damian is back to full health, but he has been left with a snaking scar across the top of his head.

Damian Britt is treated in hospital for a brain cyst.

Manual laborer Drake hopes the body art will help his son to wear his scar with pride and confidence as he grows older.

Doting dad-of-two Drake, from Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, said: “What if anyone ever picks on him or tries to make fun of him in school?

“I don’t want him to have to worry about anything.

“I’m hoping that he’s going to be excited that I have the scar too, and won’t be self-conscious.

“It’s to symbolize that if I could have taken the scar, I would have.

“His surgery was the biggest thing we’ve ever had to go through in our lives. I wanted to show my support for him.

“Now, he’s not the only one who will have a scar for life.”

Damian Britt is treated in hospital for a brain cyst.

The family’s ordeal began in March 2018 when Damian was on his dad’s lap watching TV and Drake noticed one side of his head was bigger than the other.

He and his girlfriend Emily Stobo, 21, Damian’s mom, took the tot to hospital where X-rays revealed a cyst the size of a tennis ball on the right side of his skull.

Damian was airlifted to Vancouver Children’s Hospital for surgery to remove the growth, but despite it being successful, Damian spent 24 hours on life support.

Drake said: “Finally, in the middle of the night, he started breathing on his own.

“It was the biggest relief ever.”

Damian was discharged after four days, but the bone in his skull took three months to heal.

As soon as Drake saw the lengthy six inch scar on his son’s scalp, he decided to get inked with a tattoo to match.

Family friend and tattoo artist Joel Wiggers, of Joel Lee Tattoos in Naimano, stepped up to the challenge of bringing the body art to life.

He said: “His dad felt very helpless that he couldn’t do anything for his son.

“He didn’t want his son to go through it alone and have such a big scar on his head.”

“It was a first for me. I thought it was a beautiful gesture to make for his son, because I have my own kids as well.

“It will definitely bond them closer later on in life.”

While the rest of his family was on a nearby camping trip in early May, Drake, who has three other tattoos, snuck out to the parlor to get inked as a surprise.

Stockroom assistant Emily cried when she saw it.

Drake, who is also dad to Mataya, five, added: “She was so happy that I was willing to do something like that.

“Out of all my tattoos, it definitely means the most to me.”
