Tumors Suck
When she was just ten years old, this young woman had a tumor on her thigh bone. The operation to eliminate the tumor was quite invasive, but it also helped to prevent it from spreading. Thankfully, the operation was successful, and the then-ten-year-old is living and healthy today.
According to her, the tattoo was rather unsightly. As a result, she decided to get a ribbon tattoo over her scar in celebration of tumor removal. They picked laces because the stitches had already been removed, and she wanted the wound to be permanently healed.
