About 3D Areola Tattoo & Restoration

A 3D areola tattoo (also called areola restoration, areola micropigmentation, or medical nipple tattooing) uses advanced shading and custom color blending to create the illusion of a real, raised nipple—even on a completely flat surface.

This restorative tattoo:

Adds dimension, shape, and depth
Completes the breast after reconstruction
Helps restore body confidence
Can be matched to your natural areola (one or both sides)
