Tattooing over mastectomy scar
Hi ladies, just wondering if any of you have had a tattoo over your mastectomy scar. It's something I would like to do but I'm keen to hear from anyone who can tell me what it was like. I recently got my first ever tattoo on my forearm and didn't think it was painful at all. Just putting it out there in the hope someone has done it.
Thanks Lisa

- Blossom1961Member@LMK74 I had my hubby design one for me. It took months of changing it and alternating between one design and the other before I decided. I love the final result. Thanks for the warning on the itching. Just as well I didn’t get one on my bum. They now put a second skin on it for two weeks so that it doesn’t take extra care. Unfortunately since chemo I am sensitive to adhesives and will have to remove it today and start with the cream.
- LMK74Member@Blossom1961, good on you. I'm glad you found someone to do it. Especially after the rudeness of the first one not showing up. I still would like to get one but deciding on something I want permanently there is hard. The healing phase is quite annoying when it starts to itch too. :).
- Blossom1961Member@LMK74 If you are still on here, I got my tattoo today - finally. I travelled eight hours just to get it done by this lady. She was brilliant. Four ooh ouch moments that lasted a second each. If I ever have the other boob removed I will be going back to her again. She is in Sydney and was recommended to me by this forum. If anyone wants to know her name, message me.
- GlynnisMember@Blossom1961 I hope you find someone else who wi do an awesome job and perhaps a bit of integrity re there clients not good enough is it
- Blossom1961Member@Glynnis The tattooist Hasn’t contacted me. I only went there as the female artist/owner there has done some voluntary work for BC patients in the past and I wanted to show my support.
- GlynnisMember@Blossom1961 how disappointing for you, that’s not very good of the tattooist is it, did they contact you at all after you left? Might need to find another tattooist I think
- kmakmMemberNoooo! :#
- Blossom1961Member@Glynnis The tattooist didn’t show. I waited for over thirty minutes, then left.
- GlynnisMember@Blossom1961 how was tattooing? What did you get?
- LMK74MemberThat's very bad manners. Wtf. So sorry @Blossom1961.
