There are so many different circumstances where these tattoos are beneficial for self-familiarity and empowerment. We are consistently attending events to spread awareness that these tattoos exist and to share the benefits for after any surgery that changes the natural appearance of a nipple.

Who are Nipple Tattoos for?

– Areola tattoos are ideal for any gender has undergone a mastectomy these can be done whether you’ve had reconstruction or not and whether you’ve opted for nipple protrusion surgery.

– After chest/top surgery for trans men and women whether you’ve opted for nipple grafts or want to enlarge the shape/alter the pigmentation of your natural nipples.

– You are looking to restore the natural look of your nipples. This is for those who have irregular-shapes or edges of the nipple, tattooed for a more natural (or enhanced) appearance.

– After birth when the edges are uneven and need to be softened/adjusted, for enlarging the areola after a breast enlargement to enhance proportion and more!

– Changing the shape of your areola (hearts are a fun option!).

What is Areola Restorative Tattooing?

The appearance of a 3D nipple can be achieved through tattoo!

What some people don’t realize is during a mastectomy when the breast is removed the nipple is as well. There are many options for reconstruction (whether you choose to or not) including breast reconstruction and nipple protrusion surgery. What brings the colouring, realism and dimension of a natural-looking nipple is an areola restorative tattoo.

A nipple tattoo can bring back familiarity and draw the eye away from scarring. The tattoo experience is centred around the healing and empowerment that can be felt through restoring the appearance of a natural nipple.

Every appointment has a built-in consultation where you can bring photos or browse our reference pictures to solidify your vision of what you’re looking for. We use a quality ink set with nipple tone colours designed by our friend and mentor, Samantha Rae. Topical anesthetic is available to minimize any discomfort during the tattoo process. Please allow approximately 3 hours for your appointment so the experience does not feel rushed. We also offer scar revision to break up tight or highly visible scarring.

We are proud to have been trained and mentored in the A.R.T. Areola Restorative Tattoo certification program. This training was founded and created by Stacie-Rae Weir, who developed the program to set a formal standard for post-mastectomy specialty tattooing.

How Long Should I Wait before I get an Areola Restorative Tattoo?

People who undergo mastectomies or other breast surgeries experience different emotions- we encourage you to ask questions, look at portfolios and look at this appointment as an exciting step in your healing. This is why it is recommended to wait anywhere from 6 months to 1 year after your last surgery so your skin has a chance to heal. Consultations are free and encouraged! Please reach out to meet me and have your skin and scars checked to see when your ideal timeframe for you to be tattooed can be determined.

“Nippleback” Temporary Nipple Tattoos

Get your “Nippleback”! Nipplebacks are temporary tattoos (similar to children’s tattoos) that are based off of artistic renderings of real nipples. These are ideal for people who are still healing or deciding whether they would like a permanent nipple tattoo. There are different shapes and colours to try!

If your scar tissue hasn’t fully healed or you’re not yet committed to a permanent, 3D-nipple tattoo, Falcon Artistry Cosmetic Tattoos offers “nipplebacks” – uniquely designed temporary nipple tattoos.

Nipplebacks are based on custom designs from drawings of different types of real nipples, with a variety of colours, shapes and sizes to choose from.

To apply: clean the skin oils on your breast area and hold the temporary tattoo on the skin with warm water until it sets. Nipplebacks last several days and are water-soluble.

If you would like to order temporary “Nippleback” tattoos to apply yourself, Falcon Artistry Cosmetic Tattoos can order them for you on your behalf. Check out some of the selections and simply email us with your request.
