Most birthmarks stay even though the bearers have grown up. Stork bites, port wine stains, and café au lait spots are some types of birthmarks. The Birthmark Theory is a belief that the marks are scars from past lives. Two parents, whose baby had a large birthmark on her legs, recently tattooed identical markings on their own legs. Whether it was a wise decision or not, it’s not my place to judge.
