more information
nipple/areola tattoos:
This procedure is for any individual who have undergone a mastectomy, lumpectomy, breast reconstruction, FTM top surgery, breast reduction, or lift, as well as those experiencing pigment loss or asymmetry from pregnancy or aging.
process:
- a consultation is required to go over medical history, access the skin and scar tissue and desired results.
- topical anesthetics are applied routinely throughout the procedure to minimize discomfort. However, everyone's pain tolerance is different.
- Patients generally need medical clearance in order to move forward with the procedure.
- the longevity of this procedure is typically 3-8 years depending on age, skin type, color, and sun exposure. in which case, a touch-up would be needed.
I also offer heart shaped areola tattoos which I color match your natural areola color to create a heart. <3
inkless revision
inkless revision is a revolutionary approach that uses a medical grade serum tattooed directly into the skin to visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars without any pigment.

Scar camouflage
scar camouflage is a cosmetic tattooing technique that can help blend your scars into your natural skin tone and improve their appearance.
Scar camouflage can treat any type of pigment loss that affects the appearance of your skin. Some of the common types of scars that can benefit from this technique are:
Surgical scars: These are scars that result from incisions made during medical procedures, such as mastectomy, breast reconstruction, face lift, tummy tuck, C-section, etc.
Traumatic scars: These are scars that result from injuries caused by accidents, burns, cuts, bites, etc.
Stretch marks: These are scars that result from rapid growth or stretching of the skin due to pregnancy, weight gain/loss, puberty, etc.
Hypopigmented scars: These are scars that have lost their natural color due to lack of melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color).
Vitiligo: This is a condition that causes patches of skin to lose their color due to an autoimmune disorder that affects melanin production.
Is scar camoflauge right for you?
The age and maturity of your scar: Your scar should be at least one year old and fully healed before you can have scar camouflage. This is to ensure that your scar has stabilized and will not change in color or texture over time. The color and texture of your scar: Your scar should have a smooth and flat surface that can hold the pigment well. If your scar is raised, bumpy, or indented, you may need to have other treatments to improve its texture before you can have scar camouflage. Also, if your scar is too dark or too light compared to your skin tone, you may not achieve a satisfactory color match with scar camouflage. The location and size of your scar: Your scar should be in an area that is not exposed to excessive sun exposure, friction, or moisture. These factors can affect the healing and retention of the pigment and cause fading or discoloration. Also, if your scar is too large or irregular, you may need more sessions and more pigment to cover it completely. Your skin type and condition: Your skin should be healthy and free of any infections, inflammations, allergies, or sensitivities that may interfere with the procedure or the healing process. You should also inform your technician/artist of any medical conditions or medications that may affect your skin or blood clotting. Your expectations and goals: You should have realistic expectations and goals for the outcome of the procedure. Scar camouflage can improve the appearance of your scars, but it cannot erase them completely. You should also understand the risks and limitations of the procedure, such as possible side effects, complications, fading, touch-ups, etc.
