“LBBC WANTS YOUR TATTOO STORY
If you got a tattoo anywhere on your chest because of your breast cancer, think about sharing your story with Living Beyond Breast Cancer. They’re actively looking right now for several people who meet the following criteria. Note that local to the greater Philadelphia area travel expenses will be covered. Also, respond to Adriana directly if you’re interested. Her email is below……
Have you chosen to mark your breast cancer journey with a tattoo?
If so, we’d love to hear from you. Living Beyond Breast Cancer is developing a special project that celebrates how breast cancer thrivers use tattoo art to reclaim their stories and their bodies. Each tattoo experience is meaningful in its own way. We are looking for a diverse group of several participants to share their tattoos and their stories. If you are interested in being photographed and/or filmed, as well as interviewed for this project, we’d love to learn more about you.
Details (still being finalized):
- Location: in, or within 2 hours of, Philadelphia
- Timing: a half-day photo shoot, tentatively in mid-to-late October 2025
- Commitment: photography session and interview about your tattoo story
We especially welcome participants across different breast cancer diagnoses, ages, races, backgrounds, and with different types of tattoos, including:
- Mastectomy or chest tattoos
- 3D nipple tattoos
- Port scar or radiation tattoo
- Symbolic designs that mark or commemorate your breast cancer experience
If this resonates with you, please email Adriana Lecuona at [email protected] as soon as possible and tell us a little bit about yourself and your tattoo. Please also include info about your diagnosis, age, race/ethnic background, and proximity to Philadelphia. Your story and your ink could inspire others who are navigating body image and identity after breast cancer.”
