A soft, natural way to restore what’s yours
Areola tattooing is a gentle, custom process that helps recreate the natural appearance of the areola and nipple area—often after surgery, transition, or trauma. Whether you’re closing the loop on a healing journey or just starting to feel ready, this is about helping you feel more like yourself again.
This is a deeply personal service, and every step is built around comfort, care, and trust. You deserve to feel safe, supported, and seen.
Let’s choose what feels right for you.

What to Expect
Areola tattooing is quiet, personal, and never rushed. Here’s how it typically works:
Private Consultation
We’ll sit down and talk through your goals, your healing process, and what feels right to you. Color, size, placement—everything is personalized, and you’re involved every step of the way.
Calm, One-on-One Session
The procedure is done in a quiet, private studio using gentle technique, high-quality pigments, and medical-grade numbing for your comfort.
Healing Support
You’ll leave with clear, simple aftercare instructions and ongoing support. Most tattoos heal within 10–14 days. A touch-up may be recommended after the initial healing to perfect the result.
💗 Areola tattooing may be covered by your Health Savings Account (HSA). Contact your provider to see if you qualify.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the tattoo last?
It’s permanent, though some fading over time is natural. A touch-up or refresh every few years can help keep the color vibrant.
Does it hurt?
Most clients feel little to no pain—especially after surgery. Numbing cream is always used to ensure comfort.
Can I get this done if I haven’t had reconstruction?
Absolutely. Many clients choose tattooing as their only form of restoration, and it still looks soft and realistic.
How long should I wait after surgery?
Usually 6 months post-op is ideal, or whenever your surgeon confirms full healing. We can go over your specific case together.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on your needs—whether it's one side, both, or color correction. A consultation allows for a personalized quote.
