birth mark

I have a small, oval shaped birth mark on my right elbow.  It's not perfectly oval.   I've stared at it, wondering what it looks like, like how you might stare at white clouds in the sky and day dream what the clouds look like.  If I pinch at the skin to make the mark appear smaller, it kind of looks like pac-man with a very small mouth.  If I stretch the skin, it looks like a simple speech bubble. 

After Shosei was born, we discovered a fascinating shaped birth mark on the underside of his left thigh.  At first glance, I thought it looked like a crab.  Then after staring at it from different angles, it looked like various things.  The last thought I had this morning was that it looked like as if someone stamped Shosei's skin with a dense brush with light brown ink and also left a sprinkling on top it. 

The photo is not the best, but what does it look like to you?
