Kara Gutierrez is a fabulous, talented medical/cosmetics tattoo artist. In December 2018, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After having a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation, my body was scarred and disfigured. I had multiple surgeries that left me with constant reminders when I looked in the mirror of cancer that I survived. I opted to have the Breast Diep Flap Reconstruction surgery that gave me symmetry but left me without areola's.
I just had a blank slate when looking in the mirror. It was a constant reminder of cancer that haunted me every day. I survived the disease to become cancer free but it was at the price of losing both breast. But then I was given Kara's name by the nurses at my plastic surgeon's office, and this phone call changed my life. Kara's artistic design and attention to detail created a hyper-realistic areola. Kara was very upbeat, compassionate, and had a big heart, making me feel at ease in her presents. Never had a tattoo before, I was not sure what to expect, but it was a great experience. When she was done with creating the vivid 3-D Areola's, I was speechless. When I looked in the mirror for the first time, it made me feel whole again. She makes you feel special, and it was truly life-changing for me. She created beauty from my ashes. I no longer felt disfigured but better than before I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I believe Kara has a God-given talent that I was fortunate to have been referred to her. Kara is passionate about her work, and she will never know the difference she made in my life. I can not thank her enough. read more
