I had been planning for a while to highlight that butterfly image, and a risk factor, by getting a tattoo- I did it, and got the news story, but they didn’t show the finished butterfly!
They always get at least a couple of things wrong. Happy to see they shaved a couple of years off my age, and omitted all the ways I may have got it! https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/101319893/thousands-of-hepatitis-c-sufferers-unaware-a-cure-is-within-reach

Great work Hazel! Excellent original idea to spread the word about the need for Hep C testing. The tattoo looks great on you too

You’re a great advocate (and NGO!) Hazel….with a simply beautiful tattoo. Having a media article with a personal story as well as facts always makes a bigger impact.

Good stuff Hazel, There’s nothing like putting the spotlight on those public servants that aren’t serving the people they are employed for.
