I was struck several years ago when I saw this picture in an article in Glamor magazine. I was fascinated by the courage of women to tattoo over mastectomy scars.
I colored the tattoo with pencils, added some clear bling and added the pink ribbon. On the back of the card it reads:
"Tattoos, wrinkles and scars are external marks of our life experience. The feelings which accompany them vary from a sense of pride to a feeling of aversion. Transformation through tattooing over a scar can have a dramatic effect." Madame Chinchilla
This is dedicated to those who have fought and won the battle over breast cancer. It is for those who made the decision to replace what society calls feminine or womanly with their own unique expression of what being a woman is to them. My admiration and respect goes out to those who have found inner and outer beauty in the awfulness of breast cancer. Let their tattoos represent both their vanity and survival simultaneously.
TFL!
