Has anyone had nipple tattoos without nipple reconstruction? I'm scheduled today after re scheduling. I'm a little apprehensive.
Yes I have nipple tattoos. Took two appointments, first time they kinda peeled as they healed. I would suggest going darker than you want cause they fade quite a bit, or mine did. But I'm glad I did it.
Yes, I just got done with it. It took three appointments but I love the results. The covering they use to cover them for 24 hours stuck the first time around (I was the first one that has happened to!) and tore off some of the tattoo, so we waited a few weeks and did it a second time. Third appointment was just to tweak a tiny bit. The results are great. Very glad I had it done.
I specialize in areola, 3d and scar camouflage tattooing. I am a 4 year breast cancer survivor and I am also a nurse of over 16 years. I work with multiple plastic surgeons across the state of NC. My home office is in Raleigh, NC. Visit www.pinkinktattoo.com PS: I use lidocain for any discomfort. Take care!
You will see true color in a couple weeks. The gal that did mine said 2-3 appts are common to get color and shading just where you want.
Yes 3D. Vonni made a good point. Second appt I had her add more brown and go a bit darker. It does lighten up. She also gave me some after inked ointment to put on twice a day that helps keep the color. At exactly 1 week all three appointments it does start peeling off. That's what it's supposed to do. Let it do it naturally. Don't pick it off. A tattoo artist that my plastic surgeon recommended did mine. She's been doing nipple tattooing for 20 years.
