Getting a breast cancer tattoo is an incredibly meaningful way to permanently celebrate and commemorate the women in your life who have fought for their lives.
These tattoos are significant not just to the people who get them, but also to the women that they honor.
The large majority of breast cancer tattoos find a way to prominently display or incorporate the signature breast cancer awareness pink ribbon. Tattoo artists have come up with some fantastically inspired designs like ribbon hearts, butterflies, and even feathers.
The breast cancer awareness ribbon can also be intertwined into written tattoos that proudly display motivational words and quotes like hope, faith, love, and survivor.
However, not all breast cancer tattoos use the pink ribbon to show their support for a loved one or their own triumph over breast cancer.
Some of the most gorgeous breast cancer tattoos are created to celebrate scars of women (and men!) who have entered the boxing ring with breast cancer and come out on top. And for those who struggle with their scars, there are also a plethora of beautiful tattoos that can help to hide and draw attention away from scarring.
It’s no secret that most tattoos have a deeper meaning or significance to the person who has them than to the casual observer.
With breast cancer tattoos, however, the sentiment and symbolism are often stronger and more emotionally intertwined in ink than with the average tattoo.
