Lais Ribeiro honored her 10-year-old son Alexandre with a very meaningful tattoo. The 27-year-old Brazilian Victoria's Secret model [3], who modeled the brand's famous Fantasy Bra [4] last year, got the Autism Awareness Ribbon tattooed on her side. In a heartfelt post, Lais disclosed that her son had been diagnosed with autism five years ago.

"I always wanted to do a second tattoo and I couldn't find anything meaningful enough till a meeting that I had couple weeks ago about autism and kids with special needs," Lais said on Instagram. "It's beautiful and perfect just the way I wanted to be." Lais also has her son's name tattooed on the back of her neck.

Lais frequently shares sweet pictures with her son on Instagram. The two recently celebrated Easter at Magic Kingdom [6] in Walt Disney World, and Alexandre will sometimes visit his mom on set [7] while she's working. Lais has received an outpouring of support after sharing a picture of her tattoo, which currently has more than 100,000 "likes."

So this just happened guys! I always wanted to do a second tatto and I couldn't find anything meaningful enough till a meeting that I had couple weeks ago about autism and kids with special needs. Don't know if you guys know and I was never open about it but my son was diagnosed with autism 5 years ago. My first tatto is his name on the back of my neck and finally I found what I wanted to be my second. I decided to do the symbol of autism( and kids with special needs) as a tatto and it's beautiful and perfect just the way I wanted to be thanks to @robgreennyc THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm so happy about it❤️ it means A LOT to me! Então isso acabou de acontecer gente! Eu sempre quis fazer uma segunda tatuagem e não conseguia encontrar nada significante o suficiente até eu ter uma reunião algumas semanas atrás sobre autismo e crianças com necessidades especiais. Não sei se vocês sabem e eu nunca fui aberta sobre isso, mas meu filho foi diagnosticado com autismo 5 anos atrás. Minha primeira tatuagem é o nome dele na parte de trás do meu pescoço e finalmente encontrei o que eu queria para ser a segunda! Eu decidi fazer o símbolo do autismo ( e de crianças com necessidades especiais ), e é linda e perfeita do jeito que queria que fosse graças ao @robgreennyc MUITO OBRIGADA! Estou muito feliz! Significa muito para mim! ❤️ [8]
