These shots show three-time cancer survivor Kelly Davidson showing off her new tattoo which covers her chest – and the scars left by the removal of her breasts.
The 34-year-old Canadian decided to get the elaborate tattoo instead of reconstructive surgery after undergoing a double mastectomy.
Kelly posted pictures of her new ink work – which features a fairy forest and butterflies – on Facebook, writing: "My tattoo symbolizes a transformation, my metamorphosis, like a butterfly I changed on the outside but remained the same on the inside".
Her brave move was warmly received by the web, with messages of support and praise pouring in.
Kelly was first diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the age of 11. She discovered she had breast cancer and had the mastectomy at 28, and four years later she went on to beat thyroid cancer.
