#FierceFriday: Breast Cancer, Nipples & Tattoos

This is the first time I've featured a man for #FierceFriday. Read on and you'll understand why...

From the Today Show:
Robin Denny, who had a mastectomy in April 2014, reclines as Vinnie Myers tattoos a nipple on her reconstructed breast.


"Women need to know there's a better option than having a doctor tattoo you." she says about Myers and his work.

Once internationally renowned for his tattoo artistry, Myers is now legend in breast cancer circles for what has become his exclusive specialty: inking areolas and nipples so realistic they seem like genuine articles.

"When you're looking at those breasts, all you see are the scars, and all you're reminded of is cancer," Myers says. "So when you put this finishing touch on there, it distracts your eye from all those other imperfections because you have something to look at that's very pleasing, and it's an incredibly emotional finishing touch."
