The Path to Wholeness

Meet Your Professional Tattoo Artist

Darlene DiBona Chesko, Owner

I’m a Boston based artist, working as a professional tattoo artist since 1999. I started tattooing in San Francisco and worked on the island of Maui for a while before returning home to Boston in 2005.

In 2009 I completed my initial cosmetic tattoo education at the John Hashey School for Cosmetic Tattooing in Oldster, Florida and have returned from time to time for continuing education.

I am not an aesthetician. I am a tattoo artist.

I wanted to expand my relationship with my vocation by learning about areola reconstruction and mastectomy tattooing. I was drawn by the service of it and the desire to use my skills to fill a void; to give something of myself beyond my usual relationship with the art of tattooing.

It has been my privilege to practice this kind of tattooing for the last twelve years. It provides me with a sense of purpose in my work that I’ve grown to need. My years of experience as an artist in the tattoo field qualify me to recreate something through the tattoo medium that nature put there first.

Testimonials

My tattoo from Darlene has actually changed my life!! It was my first tattoo, and it was definitely on the larger side, but the experience was fantastic from start to finish and put me completely at ease. I had sent her a few photos over email, but wasn’t entirely sure what to expect before going. Once I walked in and saw her design, I was absolutely blown away. Darlene is truly an artist, both in her designs and tattooing ability. I get stopped on the street consistently because of how awesome and beautiful the tattoo is. I seriously can’t recommend her enough!

What Is The Path To Wholeness?

Odyssey Wellness Tattoo is a private tattoo studio specifically built for the purpose of tattooing women who have suffered through breast cancer and are now ready to complete that final, healing step toward recovery.

Areola reconstruction tattoo is commonly thought of as that step but there are women who prefer a decorative tattoo to achieve the goal of reclaiming a piece of themselves. It’s a way of finding within oneself the piece that cancer had taken away.

It’s on the path to wholeness.
