Cancer

Tattoos are cool and fashionable now and you are considered a tough guy or girl if you have a tattoo. These permanent marks on your skin can show your belonging to a certain group, for example the tattoos the marines have when they join the Navy, but they can also have a personal more deep meaning. That is why so many people choose to have a tattoo that is very much personal that they design it themselves or choose to make it personalized. Tattoos are symbols and symbols mean something, sometimes the meaning being known only by the person wearing it and sometimes the meaning is known by everybody and respected too.

That is the case with breast cancer tatoos. Most of the people having such a tattoo choose the universal symbol for breast cancer which is the pink ribbon. There is no doubt that if you see a pink ribbon tattoo on somebody's shoulder you will guess why they have it in the first place: it's either their personal experience and they don't want to forget it or they have somebody close to them who suffers or suffered from breast cancer. There are very few people having such a tattoo just for fun or to show support for a noble cause , without being emotionally involved in the process.



Look at the tattoo in the first picture: even if you don't know the man in the photo you immediately realize that he lost his mother to cancer and he did not want to forget her story and wanted to keep her close to his heart forever.

You can see the story behind this tatoo immediately and you do not need words for this. It's a symbolic gesture and sometimes it is part of the acceptance process, as it makes you cope with losing someone you love. It's never easy and you never get rid of the pain , but it helps. Of course , if you have a similar experience and want to have a similar tattoo inspired by my story, you will have to go to a professional, to a tattoo artist ion the area where you live. For example this person in the photo had his breast cancer tattoo in Cincinnati, but I am sure there are such salons in almost all the cities and towns.



Let's go back to the other type of breast cancer tattoos: the ones worn by the people who had the unfortunate experience of having breast cancer. Even if most of the breast cancer patients are women, there are also enough men suffering from this disease and they are more likely to have a tattoo after the treatment. Some of the breast cancer patients want to have a tattoo to cover the scar they have after surgery. Others want to have one just as a reminder of the life threatening experience they had. They want to be reminded how lucky they are to be still alive and how this can be ended any minute.
