Hello. I’m new on here so apologies if this issue has already been discussed (although nothing came up in the search box). I am several years post double mastectomy without reconstruction and would like to have decorative tattoos on my chest to incorporate (and hopefully hide) my scars. Has anyone had this done and able to give me any advice, particularly re artists and cost?  

  • Hello! I am doing this on March 29th. I can let you know the outcome one after but I found a great place after much research and having been let down by two other tattooists. The place is Paradise Studios in Cheltenham (it won’t let me do a link) I’ve had a consultation and they were brilliant. The owner there has started a charity called the Mastectomy Tattoo Alliance and they have been so kind, helpful and understanding. I am travelling a considerable distance to see them but I just knew they were right for me. The tattoo they are designing for me will take all day and the cost is £540. Also look on the website for Mastectomy Tattoo Alliance and click on the artist’s name to see their work. Hope that helps x

  • There was a news article on BBC about this last week .

  • Oh about the mastectomy tattoo alliance or just mastectomy tattoos? X
