Paramedical Areola /Nipple Tattoo

An areola/nipple tattoo is a cosmetic tattoo procedure designed to replicate the appearance of a natural areola and nipple, often after breast surgery such as mastectomy, breast augmentation, or top surgery.

Candidates include individuals who have undergone breast surgeries, including mastectomy, breast reduction, breast augmentation, or top surgery, and those who wish to restore or enhance the appearance of their areola and nipple.

3D areola/nipple tattooing is a specialized technique that uses shading and pigmentation to create a realistic, three-dimensional effect on the areola and nipple area, giving the illusion of depth and texture without the need for surgery.

 It’s recommended to wait until the skin has fully healed, usually 12 months after surgery, to ensure that the area is completely healed and free from scarring or sensitivity.

 Pain tolerance varies, but many clients report that the procedure is relatively tolerable. Numbing creams or local anesthesia can be used to minimize discomfort during the session.
