We used to seeing celebrities pay tribute to their offspring by inking their bodies with their child's name or date of birth, but one father in the States went a little bit further recently.

20-year-old Christien Sechrist from Texas was slammed by members of the public after he revealed that he chose to honour his son by having his child's face tattooed on his cheek.

Taking to Facebook to proudly display his new facial inking, the dad was met with criticism by Facebook users who raised questions about the young man's future prospects following his decision.

Despite being told that he could deter future employers from hiring him, Christien, who is training to be an electrician, stands by his decision and even revealed that his young son, Perseus, 'loves it'.
 


The tattoo enthusiast has ignored negative comments posted beneath the shot of his new tattoo which he captioned: "Thanks Cody Gibbs for doing awesome work on me. Looks just like my son."

According to the doting dad, he would happily do it all over again and knew he would be met with mixed opinions.

What do you make of his decision?
