'It's such an exciting new medium in tattooing.' A San Francisco tattoo shop is changing the landscape for tattoo enthusiasts and cancer patients, alike, and it's using the world's first made-to-fade tattoo ink.
Price says that the only difference for the artist applying the tattoo is it changes in hand speed and machine speed.
"It's such an exciting new medium in tattooing," she says. "It's very fulfilling to be able to do people's first tattoos, and to be that entry into tattooing in general.""Tattoos have been used forever setting our patients up for the radiation treatments," says Dr. Farzan Siddiqui, Vice Chair of Radiation Oncology at Henry Ford Health System. "But as you know, our tattoos are permanent.
"It's a really small dot, but it has such a huge psychological impact," says Brennal Pierre, Co-Founder of Ephemeral. "If we can even just make life a little bit better for cancer patients, then, you know, that's a huge win for us. And for everyone. I think." Currently, Ephemeral for Radiotherapy is only available in the clinical study with the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan."Most of our patients were quite excited to be part of this trial," explains Siddiqui, "because we explained to them that receiving a tattoo was part of their treatment process. So unfortunately, it was not an optional step in their treatment.
"We want this to be available for everyone to use," says Pierre, "our goal is to really get it to anyone that needs it as soon as we can.""I was pretty overwhelmed and excited about the announcement," says Price."She has three tattoos on her chest that she would not have chosen to have," says Price. "When I read about it, knowing that people don't have to have a permanent reminder of a temporary time in their life.
