In fact, most people have a mark somewhere on their body at birth: may be a light reddish/ pink patch on the back of the head/ neck, & if under the hair not noticeable. Many other marks (especially "strawberry marks") often fade quickly, frequently disappearing altogether in the first few years of life; later, people don't realise they had them - unless photos or parents inform them of the fact!
Some birthmarks are little more than dimples or very small reddish or blue patches on the skin - usually so faint they are not generally recognised for what they are. Also, newborns often emerge quite "battered & bruised" from passage down the birth canal, and such lesions, although rarely permanent, may be considered birthmarks - marks present on the body at birth.
Often people have more "noticeable" birthmarks in places that are not easy to see: unless informed of this by parents or others they may not know about their marks. This is surprisingly common: a former girlfriend of mine had a fairly large (couple of inches across) dark purple birthmark on the back of her head, above the hairline - many people must have seen this during her life (eg hairdressers), but she didn't know she had it until I told her! She was so amazed by this she didn't really believe me until I photographed it for her.
Almost all people have at least a few moles on their skin - a totally "flawless" skin would be very rare indeed! Many moles emerge during childhood, so strictly speaking are not birthmarks, but their formation is generally genetically determined, so in a sense they are.
Birthmarks come in many forms: the "classic" brown/ purple/ black marks present from birth that most think of as birthmarks occur in roughly 10% of most populations, but there are numerous other types of mark that may be present at birth but which fade/ disappear totally quite quickly. Because such marks are not extant or obvious in later life, people often overlook them. In truth, however, it's very rare for a baby to be born who has no skin mark of some sort as a momento of the event.
Birthmarks come from a mutation in your chromosomes in your body. No, it doesnt mean your a mutant or alien... It just means one of your chromosomes grew too fast.

It's not uncommon - I have a brown birthmark on one of my buttocks, and a reddish mark on the back of my neck. I also have about 50 small moles on my body, although having appeared later in life these are not really "birthmarks". My wife also has two birthmarks - a purple patch at the base of her spine, and a faint "cafe au lait" mark on the jawline. I have noticed that many other people have more than one birthmark, and most people have at least 10 moles on their bodies.
Many people have red or pink birthmarks on the back of their heads and/ or necks, and many newborns of Asian ancestry have blue or greyish "Mongolian marks" at the base of the spine or across the buttocks. Brown birthmarks frequently occur either on the torso or on the lower half of the body, especially on thighs and buttocks.
Yes, birthmarks do tan. If you have a birthmark you must be careful of this. Birthmarks are more likely to contract skin cancer if in the sun excessively without sunscreen.
