I'm 80% Covered In Birthmarks | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

A YOUNG WOMAN was born with a nevus birthmark covering more than 80 percent of her skin. Beatriz Pugliese, 25, from São Paulo, Brazil, underwent over 30 surgeries from the age of six months to reduce her birthmarks, as they are prone to cause skin cancer. Her condition, also known as a giant congenital melanocytic nevus, is so rare that it affects just one in 500,000 people. Despite experiencing some bullying at school, Beatriz didn’t let this get to her and says she’s always had a positive attitude as her family always encouraged her to not cover up any of her birthmarks but embrace them. The 25-year-old became a role model for others with similar skin conditions and attends a yearly meetup with other Brazilian people who have nevus birthmarks. Today, Beatriz works as a biologist and recently married her husband Fellipe who she met during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Shes blessed. Attractive as hell. And the birthmarks ensured she got a soulmate rather than a shallow person

She is really pretty! With or without the birthmarks but if I may be honest her birth mark pattern looks really cool on her body and the spots on her face look really cute!

Her husband was way too right when he said she looks amazingly attractive with those birthmarks. She is too beautiful. He is lucky to have her.

She's obviously gorgeous. It might have been hard when she was a kid but these days I'm pretty sure people would look at the birthmarks like tattoos more than anything else.

The confidence, love, and personality is what defines beauty. Shame on those that dont see the spirit and the strength you exhibit. Good on you! For the record, I think the birth marks look awesome!!

She looks like if she got a coolass tattoo all over her body, she's absolutely beautiful 😍

It makes me sad that people judge her and made fun of her for the way her skin is. She is so beautiful and her skin makes her unique as hell, it doesn't look like anything she should be ashamed of and I am glad she proudly struts her stuff because that's what she should do, like, you go girl

[karankaler]

Her face looks so cute and i became fan of her attractive smile!

[subhanshimodgil]

While people like us complain about a small pimple, she's there redefining the word BEAUTIFUL. Such an inspiration.

[gardenofwords]

She’s actually very pretty. I’m glad she didn’t let her bullies affect her greatly.

[glauvie]

Imagine knowing you are obviously and unmistakably unique. I know we all are, but this woman is remarkable. She’s used this as as carte blanche to be absolutely who she is. I love that she feels no pressure to fit in. That has to feel amazing.

[halomerric]

In a world where people purposely ink themselves all over their body and face, no one should ever dare to judge her...she's naturally decorated...beautiful girl♥️
