All the research that I have done about "Pink Ribbon tattoo designs", has led me to the inescapable conclusion that women who are interested in getting a pink ribbon tattoo are doing it as a sign of solidarity with women in the fight against breast cancer, or in support of breast cancer survivors they know, or perhaps they have survived breast cancer themselves.
There is a long history of women using a tattoo after surviving breast cancer, and the scars that result from a mastectomy or radical mastectomy where all of the breast tissue is removed, as a form of closure. Getting a tattoo over breast cancer surgery scars is a powerful way for a woman to reclaim her body as her own.
