Areola and Nipple Tattoos

Areola and 3D Nipple tattoos are a beautiful solution to create natural-looking body structures.  Through micropigmentation, this cosmetic and paramedical tattoo creates a realistic image of an areola and a 3D nipple, whether you have undergone breast cancer reconstruction surgery, gender reassignment surgery or are looking to enhance the area.  Creating a new areola entails careful consideration of areola positioning in relation to the breast shape and contour, picking the right colors to complement the patient's skin tone and realizing the illusion of nipple protrusion to add realism.  We also provide color and shape correction from previous tattooing.

A complimentary consultation is recommended prior to the procedure for comprehensive assessment.  A procedural appointment includes discussion of goals and assessment of procedure area followed by a mapping session to demonstrate projected tattoo area.  Topical numbing cream is applied, followed by secondary numbing ointment to aide with comfort.  The procedure generally takes 4 hours, with breaks as needed and requires a 6-8 week touchup.
