Breast cancer survivors praise nipple tattooist’s altruism

She sees her work as being “the final part of a woman’s healing story”.

“A lot of women come to me and they’ve not looked in the mirror for years,” she said.

“Every time they look at themselves they see that traumatic event that they went through so I really wanted to leave a positive and life-changing mark on these survivors.”

She finds the work highly rewarding as well as emotional.

“I cry I think at every appointment, I’m such a crier, especially seeing the reaction when people leave and they feel like a completely different person,” she said.

“They’re more confident, they feel more sexy, they feel like their old self again.

“There’s literally no better feeling.”
