What is the Mastectomy Tattooing Alliance?
The Mastectomy Tattooing Alliance (MTA) is a registered charity founded by Tanya Buxton in 2021, created to help support breast cancer survivors reclaim their bodies after mastectomy surgeries.
Medical tattoos, in particular Mastectomy Tattoos, play a vital role in a person’s physical and emotional healing after breast cancer.
Areola tattoos are of huge significance and truly life changing, helping to mark the end of a breast cancer journey in order to embark on a new chapter of health and happiness. Unfortunately, information about this wonderful service and its talented artists is not always easily accessible to survivors. Many women are unaware of the options available to them after mastectomy surgeries and treatments are completed.
Our aim is to make these tattoos more widely available within the breast cancer community by building an organisation that will not only help fund the tattoo but would also connect them with experienced Mastectomy Tattooing Alliance artists approved by the MTA; ensuring peace of mind and a guarantee that their artist meets the required high level of skill, creativity and quality.
We are focused on raising awareness of the options available to survivors and making these tattoos more widely available for the breast cancer community.
