"Kelly Davidson of Ontario, Canada, told the Ottowa Sun: 'I'm still me, I'm still beautiful. I don't need breasts to feel that way'" 

A woman who has battled three types of cancer since the age of 11 has shared a topless picture of herself on Facebook, bravely revealing the tattoo she had inked on her chest following a double mastectomy.

After having her breasts removed to treat her cancer, Kelly Davidson, 34, decided reconstructive surgery was not for her, opting instead to get a fairy tale-inspired tattoo on her chest.

'It's my badge of honor and strength,' the Ontario, Canada resident explained to the Toronto Star. 'It reminds me every day of the battles that I've overcome. I've won this war and hopefully I've beat it completely.'

Ms Davidson was forced to undergo a double mastectomy when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 28.

She defeated the disease, but the surgical removal of her breasts was nonetheless traumatic.
