Nipple & Areola Tattooing

Everyone’s journey to a Nipple/Areola tattoo is different. While some feel comfortable without having their areola and nipple present, others feel more complete to have that area back. It is a decision that is a personal one, and one that should be taken seriously. We are here to help give you back that Finishing Touch!

The Different Options

*Insurance - Some insurance plans will cover the procedure. We will provide claim form with insurance code to submit to insurance for possible reimbursement.

The 3-D nipple and areola tattoo is a work of art that looks like an authentic nipple. A 3D tattoo adds color and shading to the breast to make the nipple look like it's raised, but the tattooed nipple is actually flat to the touch in most cases. While a tattoo cannot produce the projection required to be truly “3-D”, a high quality detailed tattoo can appear to have dimension much like a real nipple and areola. Shading, shadows and other artistic skills make the tattoos look just like real nipples, and it helps patients feel confident in their breasts once again. The inks used for nipple tattooing are mixed to create the most realistic appearance possible and the artist will create a shade resembles the patient’s original nipple if that is what is desired. Typically, we offer a followup appointment for the breast services to ensure the color and details desired are achieved.

Most importantly, it is safe to receive this treatment once you get a "go for it" from your doctor and with at least 3 months of healing time to pass after the date of your final surgery before scheduling your procedure.
