Yes and no..it depends where you get it done. If it's an approved medical facility, it's considered part of reconstruction and is paid for.

I was told that they just recently decided tattooing is considered cosmetic and not covered. They (hospital) said I would have to pay $300 up front and then submit a claim to blue cross with a letter from doctor saying it was a necessary part of breast reconstruction, for reimbursement! We shall see; tattooing in two weeks!
