Paramedical Tattoo

Areola and 3D Nipple tattoos are a beautiful solution to create natural-looking body structures. Through micropigmentation, this cosmetic and paramedical tattoo creates a realistic image of an areola and a 3D nipple, whether you have undergone breast cancer reconstruction surgery, gender reassignment surgery or are looking to enhance the area. Creating a new areola entails careful consideration of areola positioning in relation to the breast shape and contour, picking the right colors to complement the patient's skin tone and realizing the illusion of nipple protrusion to add realism. We also provide color and shape correction from previous tattooing.

Our Approach at Minnetonka Wellness Center

Post Surgical Areola Nipple Tattoo

This artistic technique of tattooing enables the cosmetic reconstruction of the areola nipple complex, referred to as 3D Areola Tattooing. This particular client had an optional nipple buildup by a plastic surgeon prior to tattooing.

Previous Tattoo Correction

We also provide previous tattoo color and shape correction. This micropigmentation technique requires the technician to have a complete understanding of skin undertones and prior pigments used to work towards a realistic goal for both client and artist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate?

Individuals who have undergone surgery that includes their areola/nipple must wait until scars are well healed. This is generally 1 year post breast reconstruction surgery (6 months post nipple reconstruction). Nipple reconstruction is not necessary to be a candidate for areola and three-dimensional nipple tattooing.

Color retention can be affected by radiotherapy, existing scar tissue, medications and other existing medical issues. Additional sessions may be necessary to achieve desired results.

What type of pigments do you use?

We only use pigments that are formulated from the FDA, FD&C, and D&C colorant listings. They are sterilized using the gamma sterilization process (the highest form of pigment sterilization). Tested every two years by the CTL (Chemical Technological Laboratory); world trusted, independent testing lab of pigment manufacturers world wide. Vegan certified! No parabens, gluten, acrylics, and shellacs.
