The PArlor Reconstructive Nipple Tattoos

04/15/2026

What a fantastic morning with this lovely lady💕. She underwent pre pectoral tissue expander placement at the time of her mastectomies followed by tissue expander to silicone implant exchange and surgical nipple creation. Her 3-D tattoos finish the reconstruction beautifully- adding realism, dimension, texture and of course the lovely soft pink she was hoping for.

My patient sent me these photos after I performed one session of scar camouflage on her bilateral knee scars ♥️

Scars often carry more than a physical mark. They can also hold memories of trauma, surgery, illness, or other deeply personal experiences.

Scar camouflage can help soften that reminder by blending a scar more naturally with the surrounding skin. It is not about erasing the past. It is about helping someone feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.

For many people, that small visual change can make a meaningful emotional difference. It can help restore confidence, reduce self-consciousness, and support the feeling of being whole again.

Healing is not only physical. Sometimes emotional healing begins with feeling more like yourself. I feel so lucky to be able to provide these healing tattoos ♥️

A lovely second session for this survivor 💕She has a latissimus flap with implant reconstruction in the setting of prior radiation. The tattoos help to draw the eye away from asymmetry and beautifully complete her reconstruction!

Nipple tattoos have changed (for the better!) over the past several years. I am so grateful to have worked with professional body art tattooists so that I may provide these improved outcomes- our survivors deserve the best! ❤️

What a fantastic day!

I spent the morning with this amazing patient creating 3-D nipples that feel natural and truly theirs.

Every 3-D nipple/areola tattoo is done one step at a time:

✔️ Nipple placement
✔️ Areola size
✔️ Areola shape
✔️ Nipple size
✔️ Color selection

Each decision brings us closer to results that look natural and feel like the body they were meant to have ♥️

First session for this fantastic client! Free nipple grafts at the time of gender-affirming mastectomies are sometimes not an option due to blood supply issues. Sometimes patients opt not to have free nipple grafts due to scaring concerns or they do not like how grafted nipples heal and look long term. 3-D nipple/ areola tattooing allows each patient to determine the size, shape and color they prefer (with a little guidance along the way😉).
