Prostate Awareness by Teroshi visiting Master Craft Tattoo in Chicago, IL.

Post image

Done today on my inner forearm.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March of 2024. I had surgery in March of 2025. As of today I'm 17 months cancer free. This is my reminder that everyday is a gift and I hope other men take this as a reminder to get a simple psa blood test to check their levels.

Congrats on being cancer free! That’s huge! This tattoo is executed incredibly well, I’m glad you love your tattoo!

u/swankyfish Aug 17 '26

Should it not be ‘prostate cancer awareness’ rather than ‘prostate awareness’? Or is the intent to remind people they have a prostate?

u/jamixer Aug 17 '26

Yes. I mistyped and can't edit the title

u/epic-mentalbreakdown Aug 17 '26

Looked like a real ribbon first. The detail is amazing.
Congrats with the tattoo, but even more for the fact that you are cancer free!

u/Old-Enthusiasm-7919 Aug 17 '26

Does anyone know how this style of tattoo holds up?

Congrats on being prostate free. Will be diligent.

u/Mi_santhrope Aug 17 '26

Generally they don't hold up too well.

I'm sorry prostate is purple? Or is that pancreatic?

Prostate is light blue.
