An areola tattoo is the tattooing of an areola and nipple for cosmetic purposes. This type of tattooing is done for on breast cancer survivors, post mastectomy surgery. Modern 3D Reconstruction Nipple Tattoos look very realistic. These types of tattoos are also a great option for anyone who has had gender reassignment surgery, nipple reconstruction or grafts, and breast surgery where the nipple has been lost or comprised. Medical tattooing has been done for years for those who have been faced with the removal or disfigurement of their breasts. This plays a vital part in the healing journey for survivors, helping them regain their confidence and body positivity.

In addition to creating the appearance of an areola or nipple, this tattooing procedure can also be used to hide scarring on the breasts or change the shape of the areola for better symmetry, and scar camouflage left from surgeries.
