Madame Vyvyn Lazonga has been tattooing for 37 years. Her business, Madame Lazonga's, is located at Pike Place on 1529 Western Avenue where she opened in 1989. When she started tattooing it was hardly as main stream as it has become today, but now, even Seattle Magazine is writing about her. What makes her special- aside from her notoriety- as one of the first female tattoo artists in the country is that she tattoos over mastectomy scars. In doing so she came to know breast cancer survivor Kimberly L. Kimberly has a genetic predisposition for breast cancer and went to the doctor to have her breasts tested for cancer preemptively only to find that she already had it. Needless to say, she has had great reconstructive sugergery and beautiful tattoos where there used to be scars. Fast forward three years to Saturday, and Kimberly and Madame Lazonga partnered for a fundraiser in which the artists at Madame Lazonga's donated their skills and tattooed pink ribbons onto patrons, donating the proceeds to breast cancer survivors like Kim.
