‘Baywatch’ star Nicole Eggert tears up over ‘cancer tattoos’ as she shares health update with fans

Nicole Eggert broke down in tears while talking about her ongoing battle with breast cancer.

In an emotional video shared to her Instagram, the “Baywatch” alum started crying as she explained what had happened at her most recent hospital appointment.

“OK so I just got out of my CT scan — mapping, as they call it — for my radiation treatment and when they said they were gonna tattoo me … I didn’t realize it was actual, real tattoos, so I was tatted,” Eggert, 52, explained while filming in her car.

Eggert tried to downplay the experience, however, telling fans that it was a “minor” thing.

“It’s nothing but dots, but boy, every step of this process is never gonna let you forget it. There’s just always going to be a constant reminder,” she continued.

“So yeah, I have tattoos. My mom’s gonna be really proud of my neck tattoo, But that’s OK, that’s OK.”

Trying to remain positive, Eggert ended her video message on a hopeful note.

“The rest is gonna have to just be me working on myself and how I’m gonna get through it and ignore these new tattoos that I have,” she admitted.

In another Instagram video posted earlier in the day, the actress talked about receiving radiation.

“They’re gonna [do] CT scans and they call it imaging and tattooing of my organs,” she explained. “It’s so that when they shoot the radiation into me, they can hopefully miss most of the vital organs.”

Eggert then noted that she wasn’t worried about the pain but was “struggling” with “the damage that radiation” can do on one’s body.

“My father had it on his brain, he had tumors in his brain, and after the first treatment, he was not the same person anymore,” she shared.

The “Charles in Charge” star first shared her stage 2 cribriform carcinoma cancer diagnosis in January. A few months later, she shared a video of herself shaving her head.

Eggert has since blamed the breast implants she got when she was 18 to look better on screen for “Baywatch” as one of the potential causes of her cancer.
