Hello!
Welcome back to Most Amazing Top 10, I am Rebecca Felgate and today we are going to
be celebrating individuality as we discuss the Top 10 Insane birthmarks.
Some people are very worried about physical differences, but the people on this list seem
to own what makes them unique, and I am so inspired by them!
Individuality forever!
Let’s do this!
10 - Heart Shaped Birthmark Cinar Engin from Turkey was born with a unique
heart shaped birthmark on his forehead.
His parents have said that locals call him “love baby” and he is regularly posed
with for selfies.
They even said the nurses in the delivery room wanted to have a photo with their newborn
baby.
There is an exceptionally cute picture of baby Cinar wearing a Christmas hat that is
pretty gorgeous!
9 - Hair Birthmark 8 year old An Qi from the Jilin Province in
China has a very unique birthmark covering the right side of his face.
The dark birthmark has hair growing on it too, making it blend in with his other head
hair.
Sadly An Qi has admitted that many of his fellow school pupils laugh at him and call
him names because of his birthmark.
He has been offered free treatment at a local plastic surgery hospital, which is great for
him if that’s what he wants.
8 - Eyeball Birthmark Instagram Model and small youtuber, Sonia
Leslie, has a distinctive eye birthmark.
The blue eyed beauty has a grey-blue birthmark in her eye, which makes her iris looks bigger,
like it is spilling out into her eye.
I think its pretty beautiful and unique, personally, but the 22 year old has become frustrated
with critics who have asked her “what is wrong” with her.
She said she finds it rude when people ask her about it and that some people should mind
their own business.
Models are usually unique looking, so I think this only enhances her appeal.
7 - Half mask birthmark 24 year old Brazilian fashion designer and
model, Mariana Mendes, has a birthmark covering the top of her nose and around her right eye.
She seems to care very little for the trolls trying to bring her down, instead she is flaunting
and celebrating her distinctive feature.
She has said ‘I feel more beautiful and totally different from other people because
I have the mark”.
Good on her!
6 - Polka dot Birthmarks Matilda Callaghan has a rare polka dot purple
and red birthmark that covers her face.
The dots are actually a result of bruising that came from trying to have the birthmark
reduced to stop it spreading.
Sadly, she also has a birthmark on her brain which causes her to have both learning difficulties
and epilepsy.
She needs treatments on her birthmark ever two months for the next 15 years.
The family have a GoFundMe Page to help cover the cost of Megan’s treatments.
As we are at the half way point, I wanted to throw something fun in at number 5 – we
have this cute puppy birthmark…this young 18th century artiste impersonator appears
to be sporting a rather spiffing moustache!
Birthmarks on animals are pretty normal and very celebrated – whereas they’re rarer
on humans., making them stand out.
However, this puppy has a very unique coat marking – a perfect handlebar moustache!
What a fancy fellow.
All he needs is a monocle and a top hat!
Back to usual scheduling at number 4, we have a Red nose birthmark.
So many media outlets have drawn reference to Rudolph that it seems silly not to mention
it.
This beautiful little baby, Connie Lloyd, was born with a red nose, like a clowns nose.
At the time of her birth in 2008, her family were told there was no cure to the benign
tumour growing on her nose, however a couple of years later a surgeon was located who could
help her out, removing the mark, leaving her with a scar instead of a full red nose.
Truly incredible at number 3 - Map Birthmark There is a trend amongst some people with
birthmarks to, rather than hide their marks, celebrate them instead by highlighting them
with tattoos!
Reddit user Mneneon, an engineer, decided to outline his island like marks with pen
and posted the images on the popular social media site.
He said he was considering getting the marks permanently tattooed around.
He also said he likened his birthmarks to a map of middle earth from Lord of the rings.
An inspiring story at number two from a boy with a Turtle Shell Birthmark
Colombian child, Didier Montalvo was born with a very rare birthmark, a mole that took
over 20 percent of his body.
The birthmark looked like a giant tortoise shell and led cruel children to call him Turtle
Boy.
Didier had surgery to remove the birth defect , which doctors likened to carrying a sack
of potatoes on his back.
Since the growth was removed, he has been able to resume a more normal life, but will
always have scars over his body from the surgery.
Finally at number 1, we have Full body Birthmarks worn with fully body confidence!
21 year old Ciera Swaringen is an inspiration to us all.
Covered from head to toe in birthmarks, including moles, she has refused to be cowed by bullies.
The marks cover two thirds of her body yet she wears them with pride.
She said when she was a teenager, boys would say things like “you look like you’re
dirty…take a wash.”
Ciera said in an interview that over time she learned to brush off negative comments.
She said her mom called her birthmarks Angel Kisses.
Ciera says she is glad she went public with her condition, as it has helped other people
who have similar conditions.
So that was the Top 10 Craziest Birthmarks.
I truly think they’re something to be proud of and they make people individuals!
I have a big scar I used to be pretty scared to show, but these days I am just happy to
display it because it makes me who I am!
