LA INK: Cancer Sucks!

While Aubry continues to get chance after chance, this episode is so much more important than her story line. It’s cancer awareness month and there were a few tattoos based on cancer based stories. One girl came in and got Kuan Yin done on her back. Kuan Yin is the Chinese Goddess of Compassion and the reason for the tattoo is that she had stage four cancer in her breasts. The cancer had gone into remission but is back and had found some type of activity in her lymph nodes. Another person came in to have a pink ribbon that wrapped a sunflower. Kat did a really good job on it. The reason for the sunflower was that this guy used to get a sunflower from his mom every year for his birthday, but his mom had since passed away from cancer. A young guy came in and got a tat done by Dan. This guy started Skate for Cancer where he skateboards all over the world bringing awareness to cancer, AWESOME! A mom and her daughters came in to get a tat for mom to celebrate her end of cancer treatment. Kat gave her a simple pink ribbon, but it was cool and neat to see her daughters be part of the healing process. Cheers to all cancer survivors and God bless all who are dealing with this unecessary evil. Cancer Sucks!
