A FAMILY is gearing up to visit the tattoo parlour once lockdown ends in a bid to raise funds and awareness of a rare genetic condition. Little Arizona Rumball was born in February 2020 with the incredibly rare condition, Congenital Melanocytic Naevus, a type of birthmark that may appear in newborn babies. But unlike the birthmarks we may be familiar with, the gene mutation causes large birth marks covering up to 80 percent of the body. It can also cause tumour growths in the brain and spine that can sometimes prove to be fatal. Arizona, who has a large birthmark on her back, has more than 150 smaller satellite marks.
