Amplify Medicine Hat – RENŪ by Jeska Rabbit

During the pandemic, she saw her mother deal with skin cancer.

“She had to go and get skin cancer removed on her lip,” Jessica remembers, “She’d had some frozen off before so she didn’t think much of it. When she was at the hospital that day… the margin grew a lot bigger than we thought.” By the end of surgery and reconstruction, Jessica saw firsthand the toll scarring can take on a person’s mental health and the despair the situation left her mother with, Jessica realized she could fix that.

“I can fix that,” she told her mother. “I can disguise that. It’s not a problem.” Seeing the beginning of hope restored and knowing she could give someone that was the push she needed. Scars, as small as they can be, have a huge impact on an individual’s confidence and weigh heavily on their mind.

Jessica has taken courses with Jody Stoski, who runs the Paramedical Tattoo Academy in Calgary, and is ready to heal with tattoos. She covers everything from removing scars and restoring pigment to areola restoration and gender-affirming procedures in Medicine Hat – previously only available as close as Calgary.
