'My belly-button tattoo gives me confidence back'

A mother, who lost her belly button due to an operation, has restored her confidence after getting a realistic medical tattoo.

Sarah Olive, from Rookley on the Isle of Wight, lost her belly button six years ago after a hernia and tummy tuck operation.

The 3D tattoo was made by artist Gemma Bowers owns Gems Ink based in Ryde.

Ms Olive said she had been considering a surgical procedure but changed her mind after seeing her work.
