AREOLA & NIPPLE RECONSTRUCTION TATTOO
Occasionally the areola is removed during a mastectomy and cannot be re-attached. Plastic surgeries are another common practice that removes the nipple though only temporarily, the areolas may often be left with discolouration, be misshaped, and have scarring that can dramatically change the overall appearance. 3D areola tattoos in Burnaby BC are popular among breast cancer survivors who have undergone surgery and are looking to restore the natural beauty of their breasts, those with scarring from breast implants or top surgery, or anyone else wanting to refresh the appearance of their areolas!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an areola tattoo, and how is it different from traditional tattoos?
An areola tattoo, also known as a 3D nipple tattoo, is a specialized cosmetic tattooing technique designed to create the appearance of a natural nipple and areola. Unlike traditional tattoos, this technique focuses on realism and detail to mimic the look of a real nipple, providing a natural enhancement for individuals who have undergone breast surgery or have experienced changes in their areola.
Is the procedure for a 3D nipple tattoo painful?
Pain tolerance varies among individuals, but many clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical anesthetic is applied to numb the area, helping to reduce any sensation. Most find the process quite tolerable, and the results are often worth any temporary discomfort.
How long does an areola tattoo last, and what factors influence its longevity?
Areola tattoos typically last between 2 to 5 years, depending on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and overall care. Regular touch-ups may be necessary to maintain the vibrancy and appearance of the tattoo, especially for those with lighter skin tones or those frequently exposed to sunlight.
What should I expect during the areola tattooing procedure?
The procedure usually starts with a consultation, where the technician will discuss your desired look and assess the area. The tattooing process itself can take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity and detail required. The technician will use specialized techniques to create depth and realism, resulting in a natural-looking areola.
What aftercare is required following a 3D nipple tattoo?
Proper aftercare is essential for healing and achieving the best results. You should avoid wetting the area, exposing it to sun, or applying any harsh products for at least a week after the procedure. Your technician will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and preserve the quality of the tattoo.
