Anybody had 3D nipple & areola tattoos?
 

Has anybody had 3D nipple and areola tattoos? I live in San Diego and am looking to get tattoos. When I had my mastectomy, my areola were spared but my nipples weren't. I'm wanting to get the tattoos to create the illusion of nipples and to make the reconstruction look better. My PS doesn't do tattoos.

Can any of you recommend somebody in the San Diego area?

Thanks

Thanks Shane. I'm having my tats done by Vinny Myers. I'm glad to see that there is a tattoo artist in San Diego who specializes in this type of work. Tattooing over scars and radiated skin requires special training and skills. Best of luck to you in your new business!

I never had breast surgery, but if I did, here's where I'd go:

I do have a five-inch thoracotomy scar that I plan to put a permanent henna tattoo on when my onco says it's fine to do so. I will need Propofol for that...I can't walk, turn my bra around or wear a shirt without pain. But I AM getting that tattoo.

Sounds good, Think Positive. He is a pioneer in this field. For anyone else that is seeking 3D nipples or breast tattooing in SoCal, a little more about me. I have 20 years experience and was approached to do a bra for a woman named Shari. Then last year my Minneapolis shop hosted P.ink Day 2014. We did 6 warriors tattoos. After that I decided that I wanted to make this my focus and opened in San Diego. Please check out my work and see for yourself. I charge $600.00 for 3D nipple/areola and do extensive floral and bras.
