Yesterday, two little ghost tattoos carried a whole lot of love. ๐ป๐
I had the pleasure of tattooing a local woman who recently received a devastating breast cancer diagnosis and has undergone a full mastectomy. Her husband came to support her and got the same cute ghost tattoo. A small, sweet reminder that she isnโt facing this alone.
She is a mother, a grandmother, and a woman working full time while preparing for seven months of chemotherapy, beginning in just two weeks. Please keep this dear client and her family in your thoughts. ๐
Behind every pink ribbon is a real person, a family, and a life changed. Families facing cancer deserve meaningful support including financial support so they can focus on treatment without the added fear of keeping everything else afloat.
As a paramedical tattoo artist, I also want people to know about the options available after surgery and treatment, when their skin has healed and their medical team has cleared them:
๐ 3D ni**le and ar**la restoration: Tattooing that creates the appearance of a ni**le and ar**la through carefully placed color and shading.
๐ Scar camouflage: Specialized tattooing that can help soften the color contrast of suitable, fully healed scars. It doesnโt erase scars or change their texture.
๐ Decorative scar cover-ups: Meaningful artwork that can become part of someoneโs personal healing story.
๐ Radiation marker tattoo removal: For those who want these reminders removed, a qualified provider can assess options once the oncology team confirms the markers are no longer needed.
These are personal choices, never requirements. Your body deserves care and respect whether you choose restoration, artwork, or nothing at all. ๐
October may be spooky season, but itโs also Breast Cancer Awareness Month a reminder to know your normal, speak with your healthcare provider about breast changes, and stay up to date on recommended screenings.
Luxe Beauty Ink will have breast cancer awareness flash available throughout October, alongside our pop-up Halloween flash! Choose from several meaningful designs with optional pink accents. Bring a friend, your mom, sister, aunt, grandmother, or neighbor, and share a little love and support through ink.
