Tanya Buxton is a tattoo artist who offers free nipple tattoos to women who have undergone a mastectomy.<\/span>She is based in Cheltenham, a town in Gloucestershire, England, and has been tattooing full-time since 2010. She is experienced in a variety of styles, but specializes in neo-traditional style<\/a> tattoos. On top of that, she is a licensed cosmetic tattoo artist, and is able to do treatments for eyebrows, eyeliner, lips, freckles, scalp treatments, nipples, and more.<\/span>Buxton does nipple tattoos for cancer patients for free as a way of giving back to the community.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/tanyabuxton<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cSince qualifying in medical micro pigmentation, I have been offering free areola tattoos to breast cancer survivors as a way of giving back to the community using my skills, and also to show how much the tattoo industry has evolved and how artists are really breaking the mould in tattooing nowadays,\u201d Buxton told Gloucestershire Live<\/a><\/em>.<\/span>After she tattooed a 54-year-old client at No Regrets Studios in Cheltenham, she posted images of her work on social media \u2014 work that is incredibly realistic and beautifully done.<\/span>However, Facebook removed her post.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/tanyabuxton<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cFacebook warned me that my posts are in violation of the nudity rules and my pages will be shut down if I continue to post \u2018indecent\u2019 material,\u201d Buxton said<\/a>.<\/span>\u201cSo I\u2019m making it my mission to get the word out there about how tattooing can change someone\u2019s life, and how important it is that we are able to share work online in order to reach other survivors. Facebook should adapt its prudish views on the female nipple.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/tanyabuxton<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>It wasn\u2019t removed from Instagram or Twitter, however. And after the client\u2019s niece, Iya, posted on Twitter about Buxton\u2019s work on her aunt, it went viral, gathering over 85,000 likes. Multiple people commented on how realistic the tattoo looked and had nothing but praise for Buxton.<\/span>\u201cThis amazing tattooist today finished off my Aunty\u2019s nipple tattoo,\u201d Iya wrote<\/a> on Twitter. \u201cAfter her mastectomy\/breast cancer my strong aunty felt less so.. Tanya is helping restore the confidence of survivors. Due to FB rules & a few idiots reporting a nipple she\u2019s finding it hard to get the word out!\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Instagram\/tanyabuxton<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>Her client told Gloucestershire Live that the tattoo is \u201cabsolutely amazing.\u201d<\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s a big boost,\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cI know it\u2019s not there and that the breast is a different shape to the other but it makes me feel more like me. My confidence has gone up that little bit more.\u201d<\/span> <\/p>\n
