Mastectomy: 41 beautiful tattoos to cover scars
October is the pink month, yes, but it should also be a pink year every year - the fight doesn't stop and it has to be there every day. Because we have to note that the fight against breast cancer begins with raising awareness under the pillars of prevention and support for research. So we will say it again and again: it is vital to explore ourselves.
Not to mention only in the abstract, watch the video of the experience of Lysandra, a 38-year-old woman and mother who defeated breast cancer.
A simple gesture can save your life
Prevention and attention to one's body is fundamental. We are not only talking about a correct lifestyle, avoiding smoking, doing physical activity and eating healthy. In the first place, breast self-examination, optimal in the following days, should not be excluded. at the end of the menstrual cycle, when the breasts are soft, every month.
A project with tattoos: how to regain confidence
But sometimes, unfortunately, it is too late and breast cancer can lead to the removal of one or both breasts. This is the so-called mastectomy, an operation with physical but above all psychological consequences. This is why an incredible project is born for women who have undergone this operation to cover their scars and regain their confidence and hope.
Unfortunately, many women associate mastectomy with the loss of part of their femininity. We could list a thousand reasons why this does not reflect reality, but it is understandable that such a feeling occurs.
This is why these initiatives are so admirable: we not only support women who feel this way, but we also help them eliminate their complexes.
Concept and creation: how to proceed
A website called P.ink is in charge of giving advice, proposing tattoo ideas and connecting tattoo artists with women who want to cover their scars with one of these beautiful designs.
One such tattoo artist, David Allen, gives some inspiring reassurances about the project: "What was clinical is beautiful again, we turn it into something sensual. And so they take control."
And we couldn't agree more ... We find the result amazing, like all women who fight tooth and nail to overcome this disease with courage and optimism. And you, what do you think of this initiative?
