One Drop of Ink at a Time: Transforming Scars into Stories with Lita Edwards

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Lita Benduhn, Founder of BOOBS AND TATTOOS™ and Metamorphosis Ink LLC—a trailblazing healthcare provider and award-winning tattoo artist changing lives one drop of ink at a time.Lita shares the remarkable story of how she built her business from the ground up—knocking on the doors of medical professionals with nothing but before-and-after photos and a vision to help survivors feel whole again. For over 3 years, she worked relentlessly to gain the trust of plastic surgeons and cancer centers, paving the way for regulated, art-forward healing.From breast cancer survivors to young women battling self-harm, Lita’s journey is filled with deeply emotional moments, like the client whose cancer returned and wanted nothing more than to “die beautifully.” That same woman, after receiving her tattoo, went bare-chested to a tattoo competition… and won. The true magic? Her cancer disappeared shortly after.Now, six years in, with clients traveling from across the country, Lita continues to advocate for safer tattoo procedures, professional certification for areola tattooing, and insurance coverage that honors both the physical and emotional recovery of survivors. Her concerns around nurses performing tattoos without training—and the urgent need for better regulations—are passionately voiced in this episode.Lita is also the author of two powerful books under the Boobs and Tattoos name and recently opened a beautiful new studio near the beach—a sanctuary for healing and empowerment.Tune in as we talk about body acceptance, mental health, and the sacred art of turning pain into beauty.🔗 Connect with Lita:📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artistlita/🌐 Website: https://www.metamorphosis-ink.com/boobs-tattoos
