Breast Cancer Ribbon Tattoos

By Agripina Nuss


Breast cancer tattoos are usually placed over mastectomy scars to help launch new worldwide campaigns to raise breast cancer awareness. Some breast cancer victims go to the extent of finding volunteers for the staging photo exhibitions of these breast cancer tattoos.

Exhibition of cancer ribbon tattoos is the one way women and even men who have undergone mastectomies unite and get their tattoos photograph for the campaign. As icing to the cake, campaigns such as these also attract international celebrities who generously lend their support to get the crucial message of breast cancer awareness across borders all over the globe through cancer ribbon tattoos.

Cancer ribbon tattoos have become a unifying factor for breast cancer victims to get vital health information to as many people as possible in fighting this dreadful disease. Tattoos are no longer considered just ornamental body decorations but also venues for the distribution of life-saving knowledge.

Breast cancer ribbon tattoos have become a very popular way to show your support for those who have fought a cancer battle. While there are many different types of ribbons supporting many different causes, the pink ribbon is one that has taken on international significance representing breast cancer awareness.

With one in eight women and men fighting the breast cancer battle this year alone there is a good chance that you will know someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. As a tattoo enthusiast, I love seeing people who have chosen to honour and support someone with a breast cancer ribbon tattoo.

If you are thinking about getting a breast cancer tattoo for yourself that honours someone who is fighting this particular battle or someone whose has fought this battle and ultimately lost ~ then here are some tattoo tips that you will want to keep in mind.

The common aim of this worldwide effort is of course the raising of breast cancer awareness targeting women who may not otherwise have access to vital health information about the disease.
