6. Another woman got a tattoo

after a mastectomy years ago - the photo was made into a poster put up for sale (this was pre-internet). - when I just tried to find that poster, I discovered that now mastectomy tattoos are a thing: https://www.google.com/search?q=mastectomy+tattoo+poster&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=mastectomy+tattoo+designs

I think it's great!
