15 Mastectomy Tattoos That Celebrate Scars in a Beautiful Way

Nothing says "cancer was here" like a mastectomy scar. But that doesn't mean the women who have undergone this surgery are hiding in shame. Rather, they are celebrating their new — sometimes breast-less bodies — with gorgeous chest tattoos.

Since Breast Cancer Awareness Month is right around the corner, there's no better time to honor the women who are surviving and thriving. If you or a loved one is currently fighting cancer, let these ladies inspire you to know you can make it to the other side and still feel confident about your body. These women felt positive enough about their own to take topless photos and share their body art on the Internet via Instagram. So join us as we celebrate their beautifully decorated scars and say, "F*ck cancer!"
