Lisa Nutter, 56, from the Isle of Wight, battled breast cancer for two years and had a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which caused her hair to fall out (right, with a design painted on her head).
She had her breast reconstructed but was left without a nipple (top centre). So her tattoo artist daughter Angelica, 23 (left) suggested micro-pigmentation - a tattooing a new nipple on with ink. The service wasn't available at Lisa's local hospital and so Angelica tattooed her own mother's breast (bottom centre) for her birthday in an event they described as 'emotional'. Thanking her daughter, Lisa said: 'It was such a lovely gesture and actually quite an emotional experience for us, after everything we had been through.It's made me feel more like me again.'
