His intention with this gesture is nothing less than to
reinforce the self-esteem of his son, Derek Prue Jr., eight years old, who was born with a spot on the lower left part of his chest.

recently Derek noticed that his son was having a harder time showing it and was actually doing his best to hide it.

tattoo matching her son's, so she contacted Juicy Quill Tattoo, a local tattoo and piercing shop, to see if they could carry out her idea.
