A woman got a beautiful tattoo over her mastectomy scars after battling breast cancer twice.
Sara Coulson, from Gores Landing, Ontario Canada, underwent 26 rounds of chemotherapy, 21 rounds of radiotherapy, a lumpectomy and double mastectomy as she battled breast cancer twice.
The 52-year-old now got a tattoo – which has three roses in it – over her mastectomy scars which is making her feel much better now.
Sara, who was considering reconstructive surgery, was told by doctors that she was at risk of getting cancer again.
Her reconstructive surgery got delayed due to this but she couldn’t stop herself from getting a tattoo.
She says that now she gets up in the morning and sees the beautiful tattoo which makes her feel much better.
Sara told Barcroft TV: “Having the scar covered up with the tattoo is the final piece of the puzzle. I don’t want to say it will make me feel more beautiful because we are all beautiful in our own ways inside and out.”
She told about the tattoo that has three roses in it: “The first time Gary told me that he loved me, he gave me three roses and told me that each one represents a word in ‘I love you.point 257 |
’ Ever since then, regardless of what the occasion – when our children were all born, Christmas, anniversaries, it doesn’t matter what the arrangement is, there are always three roses in there to remind me that he loves me.point 195 | ”point 198 | 1
“I felt that I needed to make that kind of an emotional connection to the tattoo so we put three roses in the tattoo and we have built around that.”
Sara got her beautiful tattoo at Koukla studios in Cobourg, Ontario through ‘Project New Moon’.
It offers tattoos to people with scars to help them celebrate their new body.
