My Mastectomy Journey... Getting Nipple Tattoos!

On Saturday I will get Nipple Tattoos! These little cherries will literally mark the end of my very long journey of Breast Cancer, Double Breast Reconstruction. Having searched an researched a lot over the years and even contemplated a trip to the States, after a long wait I have found the perfect person to finish my nipples.  Having been surprised at every stage of the reconstruction process by how much better emotionally it made me feel (after the surgery had healed!).
