A friend on Facebook just wrote that this weekend (August 12-14th 2011) is the Seattle Tattoo Expo at Seattle Center. I was looking at their website and found this article from last weekend's Seattle Times that I LOVE:
Quote:

First you cry ... when mastectomy scars are transformed by tattoos
...."I love looking at them," said Dempster, who has been known to drag girlfriends into ladies' rooms to show off the artwork. "It's looking at art as opposed to looking at these weird mounds."
She smiles when she remembers her first post-tattoo visit to the oncologist, whom she hadn't told about the tattoo. "She pulls the gown off to examine me and she's like, 'Oh, my God! What did you do?' But she loved it." ...


Also a good story about women in art.

Mastectomy tattoos is a practice that has been growing a lot over the last half dozen years or so. The shifting of mainstream perception has made it more than okay for older women to get tattooed.

Here's the article I wrote about it, Mastectomy tattoos
