My breast cancer tattoo makes me feel beautiful

A woman who has successfully battled breast cancer twice is celebrating her new body with a beautiful mastectomy tattoo.

Having endured breast cancer not once but twice Sara Coulson has undergone 26 rounds of chemotherapy, 21 rounds of radiotherapy, a lumpectomy, double mastectomy – and now a tattoo over her mastectomy scars.

The 52-year-old from Gores Landing, Ontario Canada had been considering reconstructive surgery for two months only for doctors to tell her she was genetically at too high a risk of getting cancer again and should delay reconstruction for another year.

Rather than wait Sara decided to get a mastectomy tattoo instead that celebrates her new body, scars and all.
