Joyce Sherman, a team member who lives in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, will be featured on an upcoming episode of "Miami Ink" on The Learning Channel.  She is apparently being featured on the program as she goes to the tattoo shop to get a tattoo of a butterfly inked onto the back of her head.  Sherman, who has had alopecia on and off since she was nine (and whose son also has the disorder), wanted to make a statement with her tattoo that she is proud of the woman she is and that she doesn't need wigs or scarves to be beautiful.

 

Ms Sherman has said "The butterfly, to me, is a symbol of change, my message is that it's a beautiful change",  according to the Lowell Sun

The program featuring Ms. Sherman is set to air on Tuesday, October 10.  Check your local listings for airtimes.
