******, 20, defends decision to get a portrait of his toddler *** tattooed on his FACE insisting that he has 'no regrets' about the distinctive ink
* Christien Sechrist, from Houston, Texas, made the decision to get the unique facial art in July last year
* The 20-year-old, who is studying to be an electrician, insists that the tattoo has not prevented him from holding down a job
A young ****** has paid tribute to the toddler *** he almost lost by getting a massive tattoo of the boy's portrait on the left side of his face.
Christien Sechrist, a 20-year-old from Houston, Texas, had a black and white image of his young *** Perseus etched onto the left side of his head in July. But a snapshot of the tattoo is quickly helping the young ****** to gain national attention after it was shared on Imgur earlier this week.
And despite his critics' negative reactions to his tribute tattoo, Christien told Buzzfeed that he doesn't regret his decision to get the controversial ink, even claiming that he would happily get it done again.

Bold statement: Christien Sechrist (pictured) has a large tattoo of his ***'s portrait on his own face
The detailed portrait of the trainee electrician's *** Perseus, which features his chubby cheeks and big eyes, takes up the entire left side of Christien's face, starting at the corner of his eyebrow and ending down by his chin. There is even some additional detail featured on his ear lobe.
When he shared a picture of his new ink on his Facebook page last summer, Christien gave a shout out to the tattoo artist who designed the creation by thanking him for accurately rendering his ***'s image.
'Thanks Cody Gibbs for doing awesome work on me. Looks just like my ***,' he wrote.
But Christien soon found himself being berated by his friend Ashlee Nicole who asked if the picture was a joke.
After Christien confirmed that it wasn't, Ashlee expressed her frustration with his choice of location for the tattoo, noting that the ink would likely make it difficult for the young ****** to get a job in the future.
'Why on your f****** face?! How are you ever going to get a real f***** job to support your *** with a tattoo on your face?' she asked.

Snap a selfie: Christien has eagerly defended his facial ink to his friends on Facebook, many of whom questioned why he chose to get the tattoo in such an obvious location
'It's not funny!' Ashlee continued. 'I'm going to make you come live with [me] so you don't do stupid sh** like this. Although it is a nice tat, you should have put it somewhere else.'
Christien went on to call it a 'beautiful tattoo of a beautiful face on top of another beautiful face'.
Meanwhile, another friend, David Overbey, predicted that regret would eventually set in.
'I give it [three] years before the regret starts [rolling] in,' he said, before noting: I'm not judging [though]. I think it's great work. But society frowns upon face tattoos.'
Christien responded by saying: 'Well my *** looked at it [and] smiled so that's all I care about.'
Meanwhile, Derek Farmer argued that there are better ways to express his love for his ***.

'You don't need a portrait of your ***** on your face to convince your love for him,' he wrote. 'It takes more than that.'
Although not everyone was so judgmental.
Cody Meyers commented: 'Yeah bro that does look sick, I plan on getting allot of art done [sic].'
It's nine months later and Christien is still a fan of his ink, telling Buzzfeed that his *** 'loves it'.
He also has a large tattoo design of a skull and a flower on the opposite side of face.
And contrary to popular opinion, the tattoo enthusiast said the his dramatic face ink has not affected his ability to find work.
