INKspiration - Maddie Harvey, Kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi - Kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi a me nā ʻuhane: Aʻoaʻo Tattoo

E like me ka mea i loaʻa i ka peʻa i ʻike, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o ka peʻa he ʻike kūʻokoʻa! ʻAʻohe kanaka ʻelua i like ka moʻolelo. He hoʻomanaʻo paha, he hoʻolauleʻa i ka hōʻike pilikino, he ʻōlelo hoaloha a i ʻole no ka mea, he manaʻo ko kēlā me kēia peʻa. E like me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e kiʻi i kahi peʻa hou he mea nui i ka mea hoʻohana, ʻo ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e lilo i mea pena kiʻi e like me ka pilikino. A ʻo nā moʻolelo o kēlā me kēia mea pena kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi like ʻole. Ma kēia moʻomanaʻo, lawe mākou iā ʻoe iā Maddie Harvey, he mea pena kiʻi mai kā mākou studio ma Philadelphia, nona kahi moʻolelo hoʻoikaika. Ua ʻike ʻo Maddie i kona kāhea ʻana ma ke ʻano he kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi loea i nā peʻa hoʻonaninani i kona ʻike ʻana i ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka hilinaʻi ponoʻī o kona makuahine ma hope o ka mastectomy prophylactic.

"Ua ʻike koʻu makuahine he pūʻulu maikaʻi kāna 2, ʻo ia ka genetic mutation i loaʻa i ka 1 i 6 wahine, a ʻo ia ka mea e hana nui ai ʻoe i ka maʻi maʻi umauma, ka maʻi kanesa ʻili, ka maʻi maʻi ovarian. No laila ua hana ʻo ia i ka hana a nā wahine he nui, ʻo ia ke kaʻina hana i kapa ʻia he mastectomy prophylactic. Maanei lākou e wehe ai i nā umauma a me nā ovaries ma mua o ka lilo ʻana i ka maʻi kanesa. 

I ko lākou wehe ʻana i kāna ovaries, ʻike lākou ua loaʻa iā ia ka maʻi maʻi ovarian pae mua, he mea weliweli loa, no ka mea, ʻelua makahiki ʻaʻole paha ʻo ia i laila. Ma hope o ka hoʻoponopono ʻia ʻana o nā mea a pau a hoʻōla ʻia kona kino, hele pū wau me ia i ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai kona mau nipple ma kona kua. ma… I ka ʻike ʻana i kona hauʻoli a piha i kona manaʻo hou ma hope o kāna hana ʻana i kāna ʻāpana hope o ka hoʻololi ʻana, ʻo ia ka mea i makemake ai iaʻu e hana."

A ʻo ia ka manawa i ʻike ai ʻo Maddie iā Body Art & Soul Tattoos, hele i kahi papa hana, kākau inoa a hoʻopau i kāna mau haʻawina. Mai ia manawa mai, ua hana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mea pena kiʻi ʻoihana a hana kiʻi ma nā ʻano like ʻole o ka poʻe, akā loaʻa ka peʻa o nā mea ola maʻi maʻi ʻoi aku ka pono. ʻO kāna nānā ʻana i nā peʻa hoʻonaninani e hauʻoli iā ia. E like me kāna i ʻōlelo ai: "Aloha wau e kamaʻilio me nā wahine i hele mai i kēlā ʻaoʻao a ola, a ikaika loa kēia mau wahine a loaʻa ka hauʻoli hou no ka mea ua hāʻawi ʻia lākou i kahi manawa hou i ke ola. No ka ʻike wale ʻana i kā lākou pane ʻana i ko lākou kino hou me nā peʻa ma luna o lākou ... maikaʻi loa ka hiki ke hāʻawi iā lākou i kēlā paʻi. ʻAʻole au e nalowale no kekahi mea!"

ʻOiai ko lākou hoʻomau ʻana, manaʻo nui ka poʻe i nā peʻa ma ke ʻano he ʻano a i ʻole ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ka "e minamina i ka wā e ʻelemakule ai mākou" a nānā pinepine i ka hopena maikaʻi o nā peʻa kuʻuna a me nā peʻa hoʻonaninani i ke ola o kā lākou mea hoʻohana. E like me kāu i aʻo ai mai ka moʻolelo a Maddie, hiki i nā mea pena kiʻi ke hoʻoikaika i ka poʻe e manaʻo he ʻāpana o kahi kaiāulu hoʻohui, a me ka lanakila ʻana i ka ʻeha kino a me ka noʻonoʻo. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohui i nā ʻōpala mai ka ʻoki nui ʻana i kahi hoʻolālā peʻa a hāʻawi i ka poʻe i ka hilinaʻi e aloha hou i ko lākou kino.

E aʻo pehea e hana ai i nā peʻa hoʻonaninani

Inā makemake ʻoe e aʻo pehea e peʻa ai i kahi wahi palekana, ʻoihana a kākoʻo kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻololi i kāu hana kiʻi i ʻoihana e like me Maddie, e nānā i kā mākou mau papa hoʻomaʻamaʻa peʻa. ʻOi aku kahi ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he mea pena kiʻi kiʻi ʻoihana ma mua o kou manaʻo, a e kōkua mākou iā ʻoe i kēlā me kēia ala o ke ala!
