•Battle scars • Mastectomy is especially a painful ordeal. Some surgeries require the removal of the nipples or even the whole breasts, and they all leave scars, both on the chest and the soul. It is difficult to look at yourself in the mirror and don't recognize your body anymore. But breast cancer survivors are tough women. They fought and won, and now, to overcome their scars, they can count on the help of tattoo artists. Where plastic surgery often fails, tattoo artists can give a helpful hand by tattooing nipples with 3D effects and pieces of art giving their femininity, beauty and self confidence back to these gorgeous women. We admire these women . #iamprojectpink #findacure #cancersucks #mastectomytattoo

Beautiful body art after breast cancer and mastectomy 💕 done by @imabodyartist @Regrann from @imabodyartist - October is breast cancer awareness month. I painted this in May. She is a survivor. Not only did she have a double mastectomy, she got an infection from the breast implants she did after the mastectomy. She had to have those removed as well. She is a fighter. She is my friend. She is beautiful. She is amazing. This is the face of breast cancer.

Repost @rubyocity ・・・ This lady is tough as nails. After her success overcoming breast cancer we did a little tribal ring around one of her areolas, that was ten years ago. After she had her implants removed we started designing this torso piece for her, I had the pleasure of tattooing it today. I'm so thrilled at getting to help this beautiful woman transform her body. Can't wait for the next session #cancersurvivor #twobirdstattoo #rubysantiago #femaletattooartist #seattletattoo #seattleartist #mastectomytattoo

Mastectomy is a procedure often performed on breast cancer patients that involves partial or full removal of the breasts. A lot of woman cover their "battle scars" with tattoos and I can only liken it to a human kintuksorai- the art of mending a broken object with gold to signify that it is more beautiful for having been broken. That you have been handed unimaginable suffering and pain, but you have survived and you have turned your misery into a piece of art. There is strength after breast cancer. There is beauty after breast cancer. And if you are afflicted or a survivor, may the universe bring you both. 2/3
