3d Nipples & Areola

1. What is 3D nipple and areola tattooing?
3D nipple and areola tattooing is a specialized form of micropigmentation designed to create a natural-looking nipple and areola for breast cancer survivors after reconstruction surgery. Using organic pigments and advanced techniques, we produce a realistic, dimensional effect that enhances your confidence and completes your recovery.
