To Tattoo Or Not

I am going to tell you all a little secret when my bandages came off after my nipple reconstruction surgery I may have cried a little looking down. No not a bad cry it was a good one. I guess I never realized how much I missed having them. I know it is silly but looking down for a minute they almost looked like the original ones but they still needed some color they are just skin toned now.

Fashion Trends: Tattoos for Moms

If you don’t think the trend exists then you haven’t been to the beach or an amusement park on a 90-degree day recently. That’s where you’ll see them in full view.

Scarring can be improved through micropigmentation, as can uneven skin pigmentation. For women who undergo breast surgery, micropigmentation can be used to reconstruct the nipple area.

Tattoos for MY Girls???? If it’s Good Enough for Mama…

Posted on by

Sigh. This is the story of my wife’s tattoo. One that makes it a little difficult for me to lay down the law about body modifications for my girls!!! Of course, the one good thing I can point out about the small outline pattern of dolphins on the back of her neck: she got it when she was thirty. And out of her parents’ house!
