A woman who aids breast cancer survivors in the St. Louis area by creating tattoos of the nipple and areola after reconstructive surgery was booted from Facebook for showing examples of her work.
The “Tattoos by Kerry Soraci” page has since been restored, and Facebook has apologized.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Facebook told Soraci that the photos she was sharing did not meet “community standards.”
“Your account has been disabled for not following the Facebook Community Standards, and we won’t be able to reactivate it,” Facebook’s Steven Parker wrote in a response to Soraci. “We disable accounts that solicit others or feature content that is sexually suggestive/contains nuditFacebook told Soraci that the social media site disables accounts that solicit others or feature content that is sexually suggestive or contains nudity.”
Soraci says the photos she posts promote her business and educate women about post-surgery options.
In addition, Soraci’s personal Facebook page had been shut down as had the page for her other businesses, I Scream Cakes and Kaleidoscope Ceilings, because she is the administrator of those pages as well. All of her pages were up and running Friday.

James (Jim) Patrick Doolan, 89, passed away on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at Carriage Square in St. Joseph following a brief illness. He was born September 7, 1927, and raised in St. Joseph, Missouri, the son of the late Fred and Theresa (Kilkenney) Doolan, and was a proud and lifelong resident of the City he loved and appreciated. He was preceded in death of his parents, wife of 53 years, Frances (Mihelic) Doolan, who had passed in December 2009, infant son James Patrick Doolan.; brothers Ed, Bill, Jerry, and his sister Margaret Boos. Jim is survived by his sons , David Doolan, Joseph Doolan (Becky), and his daughters; Barbara Rich (Vernon), Maureen Hershewe (Joseph), Kathleen Howard (Dave) , a brother Gene (Edna) Doolan, 14 grandchildren, 8 great-grandsons, 2 great-granddaughters, nieces, nephews, cousins and many close and wonderful friends, all who were near and dear to him. After graduating from St. Patrick’s Grade School, Jim continued his Catholic education and graduated from the former Christian Brothers High School, and the St. Joseph Junior College. He met his wonderful wife, Frances Mihelic and they were married in 1956 at St. James Catholic Church. He retired after 30 years of service of the United States Postal service in 1988. Besides being blessed with a wonderful wife and family, Jim had earned and accomplished much during his life. He was a Navy Veteran -WWII; Past Commander and Finance Officer and Lifetime Member- 359 Fourth District -American Legion; Lifetime Member of the Knights of Columbus Council 571; Charter Member of Ancient Order of Hibernians; and Member of the South side Progressive Club. Humbly, Jim was a faithful member of St. James Catholic Church, St. James Holy Name Society and St. Vincent De Paul. Being of Irish decent and often referred to by friends and family as Seamus (Gaelic for James), he took great pride in coordinating and participating with the float on the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. This was Jim’s simple way of celebrating all the lives before him, thanksgiving for the present and the faith for the future of hopes, dreams and aspirations for everyone. A celebration and toast to life itself. Slainte Jim!! Jim had a great passion for all sports, but above all he had a great appreciation for the game of baseball; and especially listening (prior to televised games) and watching the KC Royals with cold beer in hand. He also rooted on the KC Chiefs. Jim had many devotions and adorations in his life; Our Lord Above All, parents, wife Frances, his children, siblings, grandchildren, great grandchildren, cousins, nieces and nephews, and many friends; including the special place he held in his heart for the wonderful caregivers at Country Squire and Carriage Square and to his attending medical care providers; physicians, nurses and aids at Mosaic. I could not stay another day, to love, to laugh, to work or play; tasks left undone must stay that way. And if my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy and God bless to all of you. Mass of Christian Burial, 11:00 AM Saturday, St. James Catholic Church, Father Evan Harkins Celebrant. Parish Rosary will be recited at 5:30 PM Friday, with the family to receive friends until 8:00 PM Friday at the Rupp Funeral Home. Interment Mount Olivet Cemetery, with military honors.
