Service Description

3D nipple tattoos create an illusion of a realistic nipple and areola on the breast. Although the surface is flat, the nipple appears three-dimensional. These tattoos are applied by our professional paramedical tattoo artist. If you have suffered the loss of your nipple and/or areola due to breast reconstruction, unilateral/bilateral mastectomy, or any other cosmetic surgery to your breast, this service is for you. Some insurance companies will cover the areola tattoo service. Check with your insurance company to see if your nipple/areola tattoo is covered. Physician's referral is needed and insurance approval in order to be reimbursed by your insurance company.
