To reclaim their bodies after cancer, more women than ever are now opting for elaborate mastectomy tattoos.

Instead of opting to reconstruct their nipple, these women are celebrating beating breast cancer by having beautiful and intricate tattoo designs.

These are 14 of the most breathtaking options on Pinterest and Instagram.

•Battle scars • Mastectomy is especially a painful ordeal. Some surgeries require the removal of the nipples or even the whole breasts, and they all leave scars, both on the chest and the soul. It is difficult to look at yourself in the mirror and don't recognize your body anymore. But breast cancer survivors are tough women. They fought and won, and now, to overcome their scars, they can count on the help of tattoo artists. Where plastic surgery often fails, tattoo artists can give a helpful hand by tattooing nipples with 3D effects and pieces of art giving their femininity, beauty and self confidence back to these gorgeous women. We admire these women . #iamprojectpink #findacure #cancersucks #mastectomytattoo

Beautiful body art after breast cancer and mastectomy 💕 done by @imabodyartist @Regrann from @imabodyartist - October is breast cancer awareness month. I painted this in May. She is a survivor. Not only did she have a double mastectomy, she got an infection from the breast implants she did after the mastectomy. She had to have those removed as well. She is a fighter. She is my friend. She is beautiful. She is amazing. This is the face of breast cancer.
