We are Perky

I hated my scars.
I lied about them.
I covered them up.

I was ashamed of them.
I've cried countless tears over them.

But now…I accept them.
And I'm choosing to love them.

Krystal, a three-time cancer survivor shares the story behind her cancer and reconstruction scars—and her journey from hiding them to embracing them.

Covered in gems and a little whimsy, these photos celebrate scar acceptance, survivorship, strength, and reclaiming the body after cancer. ✨

From Hiding My Scars to Letting Them Sparkle | A Survivor’s Story — helloperky.com Krystal, a three-time cancer survivor, shares the stories behind her cancer and reconstruction scars and her journey from hiding them to letting them sparkle.

A little peek inside Perky. ✨

It’s more than tattooing.

It’s the treatment room where restoration happens.
It’s the Thrive Room, where we make space for the whole person.
It’s insurance reimbursement paperwork because yes — ni**le tattoos may be eligible for insurance reimbursement.
It’s tattoo trays being prepped, pigments being mixed, and tiny details being mapped out.
It’s temporary ni**les that help someone visualize what’s possible.
It’s an In My Perky Era sticker because sometimes you just need the reminder. 😉

Every detail, every room, every tool has a purpose:

to help you feel more like yourself again.

This is Perky. 🫶

Day 1 of posting until sees this. 🙌

A daughter came to Perky to support her mom - a breast cancer survivor who lost both ni**les during her mastectomy.

Her mom was here to restore what cancer took away.
The daughter had always wanted matching tattoos with her mom. So she did something unforgettable.
She got a third ni**le. Inspired by Mark Wahlberg.
But here's the part we love most - she turned it into something bigger. Her donation to the Perky Restoration Program will help another survivor or previvor restore what cancer took away.

Mark, if this reaches you: we'd love for you to match her donation and help even more survivors access restorative tattooing.

Sometimes one extra ni**le can help restore two.
Help us find Mark - tag him below or share this to your stories.

Today, we're proud to introduce The Perky Ni**le—a realistic temporary ni**le tattoo created to provide another restoration option for those navigating life after mastectomy and breast reconstruction.

As restorative tattoo nurses, we've spent years listening to patients. While many are ready for permanent restorative tattooing, others are still healing, exploring their options, or simply aren't ready for a permanent solution. We realized there was a gap in care—and we wanted to help fill it.

The Perky Ni**le was created to give patients another choice. Available in multiple sizes and skin tones, it's designed to help people feel more like themselves while navigating their own unique restoration journey.

In our latest blog, we share why we created The Perky Ni**le, who it may benefit, and how healthcare providers can request complimentary sample kits to introduce this option to their patients.

We're grateful to everyone who has supported this journey and look forward to continuing our mission of helping survivors restore confidence—on their own terms.
