After surgery, 56% are left with mastectomy scars and often, no nipples. Even if you survive, it ravages the body, complicates relationships and leaves permanent, uninvited marks. We think that covering these scars with a different kind of mark a tattoo can not only help mastectomy patients reclaim their bodies but also turn something painful into something beautiful. P.ink began as a passion project for ad agency CP+B.P.ink's goal is to connect breast cancer survivors with tattoo artists-two disparate communities that seem (to us) naturally allied. In early 2013,we launched p-ink on Pinterest, and, in late 2013, we brought together a handful of artist & survivors for our first P.ink Day. This is the story of that day. Written by
