why choose a 3d Nipple tattoo after mastectomy
A Restorative Option for Survivors - No Surgery Required
A 3D nipple tattoo offers a realistic, non-surgical alternative for individuals who’ve undergone a mastectomy or breast reconstruction.
This procedure is part of paramedical tattooing, specifically designed to support healing — emotionally and physically — after cancer treatment.
Unlike cosmetic tattooing, this service uses advanced pigment layering and dimensional shading to recreate the natural appearance of a nipple, even on flat or scarred skin. It's not about vanity. It’s about feeling whole again.
Whether you choose this as the final step in your healing journey, or simply want a sense of closure without additional surgery, nipple tattooing is deeply personal and profoundly empowering.

Areola Tattoo Consultation Process
At FabULash Artistry, we offer compassionate, personalized care for breast cancer survivors. Here's what to expect during your areola repigmentation consultation...
What to Expect During Your Areola Repigmentation Consultation
The goal of nipple and areola micropigmentation is to restore or enhance the aesthetic appearance of the breast. This is achieved by recreating a realistic nipple and areola that either mirrors an existing one or creates a matching set. Every client's needs are unique.
During your consultation, we’ll review your expectations, goals, and healing history. Then, we’ll design a custom treatment plan just for you.
- Visually improve scars or irregularly shaped areolas left by surgery.
- Correct the size, shape, and color of the nipple, while minimizing scarring.
- Restore symmetry and balance for a powerful emotional and visual impact.
Clients often share how this treatment transformed their self-image and restored their confidence. Many finally feel at home in their own skin. After breast surgery, words like "disfigured, flawed, or impaired" can linger.
At FabULash Artistry, we believe in beauty that heals and art that lasts. Micropigmentation offers healing and helps reconnect you with your body by restoring a natural look. When you look in the mirror, we want you to see strength, wholeness, and transformation.
Your journey to renewed confidence starts here.

3D Areola & Nipple Tattooing for Breast Cancer Survivors in Jacksonville, FL
Restore balance, confidence, and a sense of wholeness after breast reconstruction.
The areola and nipple tattoo is the final step in breast reconstruction for many survivors. This procedure restores the natural appearance of the breast by carefully implanting pigment into the skin to create the illusion of a realistic areola and nipple.
Whether you've had a mastectomy, breast reduction, reconstruction, or implants, 3D areola tattooing can help restore balance, symmetry, and confidence. It gives back skin tone and texture, and allows you to choose the color, size, and shape of your areola.
DOES IT HURT?
Pain levels vary depending on your situation. If you've undergone a mastectomy, you may have reduced sensation in the breast area, so pain might not be an issue. However, if you haven’t had surgery or if you’re opting for an aesthetic areola tattoo (without prior surgery), the area may still be sensitive.
WHAT IS THE AREOLA REPIGMENTATION PROCEDURE?
Your artist will clean and numb the area, then carefully implant pigment into the top layer of skin to simulate the appearance of an areola and nipple. The pigment is custom-blended and feathered to match your unique tone and desired look.
