Areola

Tattoo

Areola tattooing is a restorative tattoo service that involves creating hyper-realistic renderings of the nipple-areola complex (NAC). This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking re-pigmentation after mastectomies, top surgeries, or breast reconstruction. It’s also a great option for those with naturally low pigment in the areola area. The process is fully customized for each client to ensure the most natural and realistic results, using precise techniques to match the client’s skin tone, shape, and anatomy. Areola tattooing is especially empowering for breast cancer survivors and transgender or non-binary individuals, as it helps restore confidence and a sense of wholeness. This permanent solution is more than a cosmetic enhancement—it’s a transformative step toward healing and self-acceptance.

Caring for your

Treatment

What should I do right after my areola tattooing? After your areola tattoo, it’s important to keep the area clean and dry. You should cover the tattoo with a sterile bandage for the first few days. Avoid touching the tattoo except when cleaning it.

Can I take a shower or bath? Yes, you can take a shower, but avoid soaking your tattoo in water. This means no baths, swimming pools, or hot tubs until your tattoo has fully healed.

Should I use any cream on my tattoo? Yes, apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizing ointment, as recommended by your tattoo artist. This helps keep the tattoo moist and promotes healing.

How do I clean my areola tattoo? Gently wash your tattoo twice a day with mild soap and water. Pat it dry with a clean towel or a paper towel. Do not rub the tattoo as it heals.

What should I avoid during healing? Stay away from direct sunlight and tanning beds. Also, avoid tight clothing that rubs against the areola tattoo. Both can damage the tattoo’s appearance and slow down healing.

How long does it take for my tattoo to heal? Your tattoo should heal in about 2 to 3 weeks. During this time, it’s normal to see some peeling or flaking of the skin. Make sure to follow your aftercare instructions to help with healing.

What if I notice redness or swelling? Some redness and swelling are normal, but if they worsen or you notice signs of infection like severe pain, pus, or a bad smell, contact your tattoo artist or a doctor right away.

When can I see the final results? The color and clarity of your areola tattoo will settle over a few months. It’s important to be patient and take good care of your tattoo during this time.
