Today I tattooed a woman who is a survivor of a brain hemangioma and a subsequent stroke that has caused her great challenges. It took her 5 years to come back for more tattoos, years of constant struggle. The new tattoo now graces her shoulder, beautifying the arm that is still healing, and giving her a shawl of flowers. I am so inspired by her persistence in fighting to regain mobility and strength, and proud to be able to make her feel more beautiful.
