Beth Fairchild is a medical tattoo artist and breast cancer activist who has been in Cincinnati for several days helping to train staff and practitioners at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Institute on the art of 3D areola tattooing for women who have undergone mastectomies and breast reconstruction surgery. Fairchild was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in her 30s and has used her own diagnosis and her family history of the disease — her mother was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer and her grandmother died from breast cancer — along with her experience in the tattooing industry to both educate and advocate for those with metastatic breast cancer and also assist those who have undergone reconstructive surgery by applying and training others to better apply 3D areola tattoos.
