A woman helps cancer patients feel beautiful by tattooing mastectomy scars for free - after surviving the disease herself.

Kate Challinor, 44, spends her time covering scars with inkings to bring confidence to patients after surgery.

She discovered a passion for tattooing in September 2018 and was later diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2022.
