Are there any health concerns with having a tattoo over a birthmark?

I have a birthmark that is the size, shape and color of a strawberry. I'd like to get strawberry leaves put on it, maybe outline it, maybe some "seeds" but I want to find out if there are concerns about tattooing on the birthmark.

Answer
No.......but opinions vary I am sure. I have a huge cross that I had them tattoo over my vaccination mark I have had since 5. Its been there along time and I have had no problems. I have seen women who have had their breasts removed due to cancer have tattooing done on their chests to hide the scars, also burn scars have been covered up. I have alot of scarring from a seurgery two years ago on my upper left arm, and I have a huge back piece that I want to extend on my upper shoulderi in an attempt to cover up 4 small holey looking scars.

When a woman is being treated for breast cancer, is her breats most often removed?

And if so, how do those women remedy this afterwards?

(Because I have heard of several women who underwent a mastectomy, but apparently all have breats.)
That should read: "... are her breasts most often removed?"

Answer
Breast cancer, like all cancers, is treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. While a mastectomy is often the last surgical resort, many doctors treat cancer with lumpectomies, to remove diseased tissue if it's caught early, and localized.

After a mastectomy, women usually undergo reconstruction surgery. This can involve anything from reshaping of the remaining tissue, to getting silicone/saline implants. Nipples can be rebuilt, using tissue from the labia, or thigh, and will be tattooed to a natural looking color.
