This specialized, advanced medical tattooing technique can help restore confidence for people following mastectomy. Various paramedical cosmetic tattooing techniques are used to create the most realistic looking nipples and areolas. Multiple colors are used to shade, highlight and shadow during this amazing treatment. 3D nipple and Areola restoration requires a highly skilled artist with specialized training.
Areola Tattoo
About Areola Tattoo
3D Nipple and Areola Tattoos can help hide the scars that are left behind from mastectomy, giving you back a part of what was lost through surgery. Like all permanent makeup and cosmetic tattoo procedures, 3D Nipple and Areola Tattooing looks more intense for the first couple days and softens to a natural, realistic look within the first 7 days of healing. At Cosmetic Solutions, both Rachel Schinosi and Heather Hunter provide 3D Nipple and Areola Tattooing. They hold an annual “Day of Hope” for Breast Cancer survivors, where they donate 3D Areola and Nipple Tattooing to those most in need. Rachel Schinosi was featured on WQED’s Ink and Image segment, where one of her client’s shared her story of how she overcame Breast Cancer and how cosmetic tattooing helped her in her healing process. Rachel has also discussed the benefits of Cosmetic Tattooing with UPMC and Allegheny Health Network.
