3D Areola/Nipple Tattoo

A 3D Areola/Nipple tattoo is an image or “picture” of a nipple and areola on the breast that is flat to the touch but appears
3-Dimensional and quite real. The 3D nipple and areola tattoos are permanent tattoos, applied by a skilled, certified, permanent makeup practitioner/artist. These effects are created with needles that insert pigment into the skin. We can create a 3D illusion by applying simultaneous contrast, which is light against dark or dark against light, resulting in a beautiful, dimensional and realistic appearing areola/tattoo.

Understanding Your Canvas and its Origin

There are many advantages of choosing Areola Tattooing versus Nipple Reconstruction. They are as follows:

★Avoiding a surgery and creating new scars

★An easier healing and recovery process

★A permanent makeup practitioner trained in this technique can add fine details, texture, color, and simultaneous contrast to create a realistic areola and nipple that can certainly fool the eye. Women who’ve had breast reconstruction with an implant or tissue flap are candidates for either nipple reconstruction surgery or nipple tattooing. 

However, you may not be a candidate for nipple reconstruction, in the event:

★Radiation treatments damaged much of your chest skin.

★The breast skin became overly thinned when tissue was removed during the mastectomy.

★You have lymphedema that involves the chest area.

★You have a history of infections in the breast area.
