In 2020, 2.3 million women across the world were diagnosed with breast cancer and about 75% of them opted to have mastectomies. For such patients, areola or breast scar camouflage tattoos could be the final step in the battle against cancer and help them attain closure.

“A recent study found that 81% of people had a negative self-image due to blemishes like scars from surgery, stretch marks and acne. For patients who have such scars, there is a limit to what doctors can achieve cosmetically even through reconstructive surgery. The skillful use of tattoos made using permanent ink to conceal such scars can help patients complete the healing process and regain their self-esteem.”
