I've known some women who've chosen tattoos over breast reconstruction. After breast deformation, I chose reconstruction, but I understand the tattoo route. Breasts and how they appear affect how we're treated by lovers, society, et al. It's a choice that takes a strong woman. I respect anyone who takes either route. Neither is an easy decision.

I've made a little collection of photos of (mainly) tattooed circus ladies here: http://www.pinterest.com/FrankieFrankie/circus-tattoos-and-stuff/ while researching some stuff. Love 'em all.

Beware: nakedness and visible breasts.

Must say I was disappointed by Bodies of Subversion, but maybe my expectations were too high.
