Tattoo

Hi everyone
I had a double masectomy and sentinel node clearance  last year and breast reconstruction this year. I chose to have my nipples removed and no reconstruction.
I was wondering if anyone has had or thought about tattooing to cover up the scars?

    Hi kmakm
    What is IG?
    Ive been thinking about cherry blossum branches as the Japanese believe they represent beauty and fragility of life. 
    I need to find a tattooist specialising in scars.

    Definitely! I have screen shotted dozens of IG posts of mastectomy tattoos that I like. And some that I think are downright hilarious! I really want to get some but it'll be a while before I can and I may change my mind. I hope I don't, I reckon it would be so cool. What are you thinking of getting? K xox
