Healing with Ink - Surgical Scar Cover-ups

Mastectomy Coverups by Connie Westgate

At Heart & Dagger Tattoo we understand that tattoos can transform someone's life. A woman recovering from the threat of cancer can have scars that are not seen by the naked eye. Not only are they putting back the pieces of their health, they are also embarking on a new chapter of their cancer-free lives. By covering the scars on their breasts with tattoos with something custom to them and their inner beauty is truly an empowering experience.

Other types of scars are also candidates to be covered with tattoos. Ranging from accidental , self-harm , and other surgical procedure scars can be successfully covered with tattoos once the area has healed. Connie recommends a physicians sign off on the scar being covered as the scars need to be fairly aged and fully healed to ensure the best out come for the cover-up.
