Hi

Just thought I’d share my first tattoo with you, following my heart bypass on 18/01/23. The good part is that the area on my chest still has no feeling following the surgery.

I did think of having a Zip tattoo over my sternum scar, but I'm still a tattoo virgin

That's brilliant. A friend of mine after her breast cancer treatment had a beautiful phoenix on her arm just the outline in black but it's been done brilliantly .

Nice! I’m tempted to get something like my profile picture 🙂. Interesting that you still have very little feeling in your chest - I still find it a weird sensation when the water from the shower hits me there

Great tattoo , so want mine done, have asked for a print out of my own heart reading to use, but will have to ask the surgeon if / when I can have it done as on Warfrin so not sure if it will be possible
