Marie’s dragonfly and pink ribbon breast cancer tattoo was done by Tony at Finest Lines in Wickliffe, Ohio, and she explains that she’s a four-year breast cancer survivor, and after reconstruction surgery and healing, she decided to get this tattoo to cover up all the scars.

thats really cool. in concept and execution.
Yay! Fuck cancer, fuck it in it’s stupid mutated ass! Beautiful tattoo, and with no visible scars, an amazing reconstruction job to boot! Rock on with your healthy self!
Kudo’s to you.
Beautiful! What a wonderful way to regain yourself and your body!
Did they tattoo over the nipple or was did she lose her nipple due to the cancer?
Fantastic tattoo , well done hun <3
amazing tattoo.
i love it.
What a great idea.
That looks fabulous! Congratulations on kicking cancer’s ass, and I wish you nothing but good health in the future.
When I first looked at the picture, i simply thought, wow that’s is so beautiful. Then I read the text and noticed the ribbon, and, wow, it’s even more beautiful.
Wow, what an awesome idea!
great idea
This is extraordinary, beautiful and emotional all at once.
yay
That is so moving.
Beautiful! What a lovely idea!
VERY LOVELY
THOSE COLORS ARE CATCHY
Fester, sometimes with a mastectomy and reconstruction, the nipple is removed as well. They can reconstruct a nipple and then have it tattooed to look more natural, matching the other side if it’s still there.
Excellent
Wow, that’s amazing.
Also, this is something I don’t think ANYONE on ModBlog can say anything negative about…which is rather rare!
that is gorgeous. It’s such a powerful way of reclaiming your body. Congratulations to her for beating cancer. Hopefully she continues to stay in remission!
its really beautiful! and i like how she was able to turn the scars from a tragic situation into a a banging piece of art! congrats on surviving breast cancer and walking away with a gorgeous tattoo!
That is stunning- i want boobs wiht stun power.
It is so empowering to see someone overcoming an illness and owning their body~.
rock out. it’s a gorgeous tattoo, it has beautiful meaning, and if cancer takes my nipple, i’m using you as a role model for how to create a prettier boob accent than a nipple.
thats beautiful!!
beautiful!
Beyond cool.
simply lovely! hurah hurah!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for her surviving still after all these years! Hope it continues. Beautiful work. I’ve seen a lot of breats cancer survivors do the whole tattoo thing. Always beautiful to see. I wish her the best in health and in life 🙂
Phenomenal!
Congrats on winning the fight, Marie!
Very very cool.
Gorgeous! I’ve seen women who chose not to have a reconstruction get their mastectomy scars tattooed, but never a tattoo on a reconstructed breast. That’s a beautiful idea.
what can I say..a kicking boobie and a great tattoo…WIN-WIN!!!
wow that is awesome. my aunt just went through this and is getting her nipples tattooed on in a month. i should tell her to do something like this!!! <3
being that i work at a cancer center and have thousands of hours of artwork covering a good percentage of my body, i can appreciate this tattoo in more ways than one. i see patients everyday succumbing to the evils of cancer, and the ones that beat it, i admire so greatly…because it takes a strong person to come in everyday, still smiling, not know if the next day will be their last. big up on the art work, and big up on the courage of this woman who is a survivor!
that’s just beautiful. yay cancer survivors!
Simply beautiful.
Anyone can have a gorgeous breast with a cute tattoo. It’s another thing entirely to claw one out of the jaws a mortal illness. Marie, you rock.
#23: sorry but I think it’s kind of garish and the splash of water especially looks weird. As long as the owner’s happy with it though, good for her.
Coincidentally, this has been the topic of Savage Love for the past two weeks. (Post-cancer breast status in general, that is)
beautiful tattoo, and such a great way to overcome something like that!
Very beautiful!
#38 I don’t think anyone can have a gorgeous breast with a cute tattoo.
A lot of women have very ugly unattractive breasts.
Just check out 007b
The reconstruction job looks really well done and that tattoo is gorgeous.
I personally love the water splashes
gorgeous! way to kick serious ass! i love the colours and style..
BEAUTIFUL!!
And it has water splashes because it’s a water lily. (And dragonflies hang around water.)
What a lovely idea and awesome inkwork. Good luck and good health =)
I’m Speechless
Beautiful.
i think its so romantic… not in the lovey-dovey way, but the other way….
#39, you’re a dick.
