What is a 3D tattoo?
A 3D tattoo uses pigments to replicate the areola on a reconstructed breast. It uses light and dark pigments to create a 3D illusion and make it appear that the Patient has an areola and nipple after they have been removed during surgery. The pigments are color-matched to each patient, and the goal is to restore the natural appearance of the breast.
3D tattoos are not only for women with a recent cancer journey. The procedure also is available for patients who have had mastectomy surgeries years ― or even decades ― ago when 3D tattooing wasn't available. As well as Patients who have had top surgery or have asymmetrical nipples.

Some patients have said that their breasts appear incomplete without nipples or areolas, similar to a face without a nose. Tattooed areolas and nipples help patients focus less on what is missing and eliminate the constant visual reminder of their cancer journeys.
Many patients also have reported that it improves intimacy with their partners because it helps partners feel more comfortable with their new breasts. Also, it distracts away from any scarring and leads the eye to a new focal point rather than just the scars across the breasts.

For most Patients, the procedure is completed in the clinic over the course of two to three visits. The initial visit takes up to two hours. That's when the patient works with the provider to select pigments and determine the position of the areolas. Then the tattooing is performed. The second visit is six to eight weeks later for pigment touch-up and evaluation if a third sesson is needed.
-
No, unlike a traditional tattoo, 3D tattooing is a comfortable, nearly pain-free procedure for the patient because the breasts are numb after a mastectomy. Aftercare and recovery is similar to a traditional tattoo with light coverage for a few days, cleansing with antibacterial soap and applying fragrance-free, gentle lotion until healed.
-
It's important that a Patient has completed all of their reconstruction surgeries and cancer treatments before getting a 3D tattoo. We usually wait about three months after completion of reconstruction to make sure that all incisions have healed properly, and allow time for the new breast tissue or implants to settle into their natural positions.
Some people get a traditional tattoo to mark a milestone or celebrate a moment in their lives. A 3D nipple and areola tattoo is no different. For many patients, a 3D tattoo is the final step in their cancer journeys. It's like the cherry on top of the sundae and a celebration that they have reached the end of their cancer journey.

Goodbye Blue Radiation Tattoo Dots,
Survivors already know that breast cancer brings many challenges, ,If a survivor must undergo radiation he/she will be left with permanent tattooed radiation markers/dots, which are either blue or black. They are an important marker for radiation treatments. The dots look too black or too bluish to be considered healthy freckles.
We specialize in a method of tattooing the dots with a neutralizing color. Thus makes the blue dots a brown color, which then appears as a freckle instead of a blue dot. $50
Radiation markers can be removed by several laser treatments(Med spa) or salt and saline removal (In house)
