Mastectomy scar tattoo cover up

Kerry Wright, 54, and two other breast cancer survivors took back their bodies and turned their mastectomy scars into art with stunning tattoos. The non-profit Personal Ink helped connect them with volunteer tattoo artists to make it happen.

“Chicks dig scars,” is something I often heard growing up, and strangely enough, this weird generalization helped me to accept and embrace the scar I had foolishly gotten myself above my right eye.

Beautiful AND powerful.

"My first mastectomy client believed in me. She was there and willing to trust my view. Together we created a work of art. We turned sterile into sensual."

People go through many different things in their lives and are often left with scars that remind them of very unpleasant times. And while there is no way to forget these sad moments, they don’t need to see their scars every single day. So, in order to help themselves, they decide to cover the scars up using tattoos.

This is my fav

For most, tattoos seem like an artistic way to cover your body with stories, say, spice things up a bit (of course, moms will most likely tell you it's a job liability that won't do you any good in life). But for people whose skin is already covered with stories of their own - tattoos mean so much more than that.

Mastectomies, or surgical removals of all or part of a breast, can be life-saving procedures for people suffering from or at risk of developing breast cancer, but the scars they leave behind can be both physical and psychological. For some women, tattooing their post-mastectomy breasts has become a powerful way to reclaim what was lost.
