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 tattos exist and to share the benefits for after any surgery that changes the natural appearance of nipple.
Areola Restorative Overview
We are here for you- the experience of the tattoo is important for your healing- it’s about feeling excited and happy, noticing the changes you already feel and looking forward to more.
We want you to like what you see when you look in the mirror!
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.

I can't say enough about Candice at Falcon Artistry. After years of trying to powder in thinning brows, she gave me a solution!
I can't wait to have my lips and eyeliner done!
