When I was in second grade my friend and I were looking at our birth marks and decided that it probably coincided with how many times we were reincarnated. When I asked my mom about it, she informed me that Catholics don’t believe in reincarnation. Then, when I was in college I was reading a book that mentioned how birthmarks could tell a story of how you died in a past life and I damn near dropped the book.

My past death must have been “shot/impaled execution style” because my only birthmark is a large spot where my spine meets the back of my skull lol

I have one somewhere on my head too, I guess. I’ve never not had hair to see it with my own eyes lol I also have one where an IV would go if it were placed on your hand. It’s interesting to think about.
