When Nina Cristinacce was diagnosed with cancer, her life was turned on its head. After successful treatment and a mastectomy, she decided to celebrate her life with a beautiful floral tattoo.

Cristinacce wanted to get a tattoo to hide some of the scars she'd gained after her surgery.
"A logical thought was to tattoo the parts of my body I didn’t like to look at, and developed the idea of sunflowers and poppies running up one side from my thigh, over my ribs, up to my reconstructed breast and spilling over onto my back," said Cristinacce.

"I used to have quite low self-esteem, but I am far more confident now and have a far more positive outlook on life," she says.
"Now I feel people will like me or not like me, and that I can do anything I want to."
