In memory of her son Alexandre, Victoria’s Secret model Lais Ribeiro received a very meaningful tattoo.
Along with a photo of herself getting inked, the model, 27, commented on social media, “So this just happened guys!”
In addition, Ribeiro said that although she had been considering getting a second tattoo for some time, she “couldn’t find anything meaningful enough till a meeting that I had [a] couple weeks ago about autism and kids with special needs.”
She commented about her 10-year-old kid, “Don’t know if you guys know and I was never open about it but my son was diagnosed with autism 5 years ago,” before adding that her first tattoo “is his name on the back of my neck.”
Ribeiro wrote: “I decided to do the symbol of autism (and kids with special needs),” and that it is “beautiful and perfect just the way I wanted [it] to be.” The symbol is a ribbon wrapped in a puzzle-piece pattern.
