Dad Gets Cochlear Implant Tattoo on Head to Support Daughter

A New Zealand father went under the needle in support of his daughter by getting a tattoo of a cochlear implant to match the second one his daughter received.

Alistair Campbell told the New Zealand Herald Thursday that he wanted to show 6-year-old Charlotte that he could share in her pain.

"My love for her really," he told the newspaper.

A photo on Facebook that shows Campbell with his daughter has since gone viral.

Charlotte reportedly had her first implant put in two years ago at age 4.

Campbell told the New Zealand Herald that he plans to grow his hair back but may shave his head again for "special occasions" or if his daughter wanted to see the tattoo.

"Hey my hair can grow back," he said.
