Cancer patient loses hair and adds a temporary tattoo
Kristie, my tattoo tester in Canada, is going through chemotherapy and lost her hair. Since she found herself with fresh canvas for tattooing, she decided to see how a temporary tattoo would look on the back of her head. Here's what she said in her email:Here’s a shot of my current tattoo, I was surprised it went on so well over the curve of the skull. Hard to take a picture of the back of your own head but it came out okay. It’s been on for two days at the time of the picture (3 now) and it will be interested to see how long it hangs in, considering sleep and toques (hats). Both have a great chance to mess it up.
The tattoo Kristie selected was a Giant Japanese Tribal Dragon Paper Tattoo. She's especially fond of my Japanese Paper Tattoos.
I've had quite a number of people who were going through Chemotherapy use temporary tattoos to add a little fun to an otherwise bad experience. One lady, Kat, was in and out of the hospital many times and always had a fresh tattoo each time she was admitted. She said the hospital personnel always looked forward to her latest creation.
It's nice that temporary tattoos can bring a little relief to people who are struggling with such a horrible disease. Please include them all in your prayers.
