I’m delighted to accept this award for the Best Life Changing Procedure (Medical Tattooing), presented by The Finishing Touches Group. My two entries were regarding nipple/areola tattooing and scalp tattooing, both of which were truly life changing for both of these clients.

This was important to her as it finalised her long journey with cancer, and she could look in the mirror and feel comfortable with the image she saw reflected. Everyone chooses different options when it comes to mastectomy and reconstruction, and it’s having an informed choice that is so important to patients.
