If you’re interested to know how the Hep C butterfly came to be there is a short version here:

It was actually born like this:

But got honed down to just the basic symbol

Here is a great article about NZ’s leading hep C doctor Ed Gane, out today, and look Hopeful425, has the butterfly being tattooed in it. NB it needed to be that big or would be blobby, if you are planning one- I’d planned smaller! But didn’t hurt at all, and I’m a sook.
