Taylor, do you see patients with cancer every day?
0:48
Not every day, but whenever I am working with someone that has had breast cancer, I typically see them about six months after their final reconstructive surgery.

That's the time where we are allowed to start working on the skin.

We want to give it plenty of time to kind of settle after surgery and make sure everything is done properly.

Shifting around and moving after going through something super invasive like chemotherapy and mastectomies or lumpectomies, whichever surgery you opted for, the skin is in a very vulnerable position.

So we like to give it a good amount of time just to make sure where we do place the tattoo, it actually stays where we want it to.

Are patients even aware this exists?
2:36
A lot of people aren't.
