This Powerful Miscarriage Tattoo Is Going Viral

A miscarriage can be very difficult to cope with and result in a lonelier type of grief than others. So when 31-year-old Joan Bremer miscarried her first pregnancy, she found a way of marking her experience for all to see instead.

After experiencing bleeding and cramping, doctors confirmed her worst fears and she miscarried. But after recovering, rather than trying to forget the event, she decided to mark it with a tattoo.

She told Today: ‘It took about three days to recover, and during that time I thought of getting a tattoo to mark this life experience.

‘For me, all the tattoos I have signify something, and even though this was a painful time, I still wanted to be able to remember it in some way.’

After an online search she settled on an image made up of one line and two hearts - faintly resembling a treble clef - and had it done just a few days after the miscarriage.

‘If we are able to carry a baby to term and have a healthy child, I will add a rainbow baby to this design since ‘rainbow babies’ are babies that are conceived after a loss, just like how something beautiful can come after a storm,’ Bremer explained.

‘If I end up having a second miscarriage, I will most likely add another heart to this design.’
