Tattoos help breast cancer survivors hide scar

For women who have survived breast cancer, breast or nipple reconstruction can be a first step toward looking like their old selves. But there's another route.

An organization in the US state of Colorado is helping some of those women - as well as others who don't choose reconstruction - in their emotional healing through tattoos that help conceal the scars.

P.ink, a group based in Boulder, Colorado, helps connect survivors with tattoo artists. Its annual P.ink Day was in 2013, when it raised money and funded tattoos for 10 women in Brooklyn, New York. In 2014, the event expanded and featured volunteer tattoo artists in 12 cities in the US and Canada who helped 38 women.
