Tattooing over mastectomy scar

How disappointing for you. Not good business on their part

Well ladies. That was a waste of time. I drove 45mins to make the booking as their phone is out. I came home and then returned a few days later for the appt. I am trying to be patient but I feel that after thirty minutes when they didn’t show, it was fair for me to come back home. I won’t be going back.

@LMK74 Thank you. I have always been terrified of needles but just really feel I need to do this. 

You'll be fine @Blossom1961. Consider what we've been through. I put off getting a tattoo for ages because of fear. It was not painful at all. That was my forearm. In memory of my mum. Plus my blood group on the wrist. 

Decision made! I hate needles. WHAT am I doing? Stop listening to my fears. I want this. Just do it. I haven’t spent months contemplating it to back out now. Go girl.

Good luck @Blossom1961. Please tell me how it goes.

Tattooing booked in for Tuesday. I have four days to make a final decision on design. It is now out of three. Everyday we transfer one on to my chest so that I get a chance to love it or ditch it. My favourite so far lasted until the next morning with me loving it. Then I thought maybe it looked like I was hiding a saggy boob even though there is no boob there! Decision time and whatever I choose, it is lifelong.

I haven't but certainly considered it before surgery. My surgeon did such a great job my scar is barely visible now. I'll eventually have an aeroli tattoo but in no hurry.

@LMK74 @Blossom1961 Same. I dislike those blank rounds of different coloured flesh that sit there, and the wibbly wobbly scars. I just don't look at it. I want something where my 'fipples' will be because of that corner of the eye thing. If there's something there it will be less noticeable. Because I love India, some beautiful mehndi style curls over my lumpectomy, recon and drain scars will help me claim this new body landscape as mine, as me. It won't be on display. It's for me.

@Blossom1961, I get it , I hate looking in the mirror after a shower and hate what breast cancer has done to my body. I never been one for tatts either but really wanted one after my mum died. Any more I get will be in places unseen. What a lovely idea having hubby design it.
@Zoffiel, I'm also like that and that's why I never got any. I would only get one's that have a meaning for me. Love them or loathe them lol.
