Tattoos: Helping breast cancer patients heal after a mastectomy.

For many tattoo artists who specialise in post mastectomy ink (different to nipple and areola tattooing), their stories are very similar. Creating a work of art on a woman’s body, after she has gone through the ordeal of losing a breast, gives her a sense of control over an unexpected, disturbing and sudden event.

Most artists believe their contribution needs to be a healthy, organic part of their client's path through their illness.
