The stories of overcoming are always a memory, there are people who reflect it in the form of a tattoo thanks to the work done by people like Mariló, a Costa del Sol specialist in repair tattoos. In her work, she improves and gives a second life to those who have gone through a breast cancer and they need that change.
Mariló told Área Costa del Sol what this specialization consists ofto transfer the art of tattooing to patients who have suffered from breast cancer. «I have been a tattoo artist for 30 years and for more than 20 years I have specialized in reparative tattoos in cases of breast cancer. This came about because it affected me closely with a friend and after she was left with scars, I decided to help her. It went from mouth to mouth and when I saw the volume of work she had and that I could be a tool for help, I decided, through the National Association of Tattoo Artists, to promote a project focused on giving visibility to the tattoo repair«.
This work on a psychological and personal level is, as Mariló says, “brutal”, but on a personal level it is very comforting“In this way I turn something that brings back bad memories into a stage to show with pride.”
In this job, intense experiences are lived, since there are people who do not want to look at themselves in the mirror at first, because they do not accept themselves, but after seeing how the result of the repair tattoo has turned out, they explode with emotion and happiness, something that comforts Mariló deep in her heart.
Mariló has worked with women as well as men, thus reminding us that breast cancer also exists in men, even though it is less common.
In tattoo repair work they not only work on areolas, but also on sequelae derived from breast cancer such as abdominoplasty or other aesthetic problems such as burns.
This weekend the second Costa del Sol Tattoo Convention is being held in Torremolinos, with Mariló being one of the organisers, whose charitable purpose is aimed at breast cancer patients.
