Having a child is life-changing. Not only does it bring new love, new responsibilities and a new perspective, for some parents, it also leads to a new tattoo.
HuffPost UK spoke to five dedicated dads who have tattoos inspired by their kids, to find out the meanings behind the designs and how they make them feel.
“I like the idea that they go with me wherever I am in the world - I like that permanency and it gives me a weird sense of security knowing they’ll always be with me,” says Rob McFarland, who got a tattoo of a watch when his son Max was born three years ago. Last month his daughter Sophie was born and he now plans to get a tattoo for her too.
