Chicago Dad gets chest tattoo to match his 4-year-old daughter’s scar from open-heart surgery

A four-year-old near Chicago named Everly Backe was born with a rare heart condition and had to have open-heart surgery three days after she was born.  So she’s got a big scar on her chest, and her dad Matt was worried she might get self-conscious.

So in solidarity, he went and got a tattoo on his chest that’s an exact replica of her scar.  He says it’s the only tattoo he’s ever gotten because he never wanted one until now.  And she appreciates the gesture, but her immediate reaction was, “stop copying me.”
