Medical Nipple Tattooing
Restoring natural appearance and confidence through advanced areola and nipple tattooing techniques.
Restore. Reclaim. Redefine Confidence.
At The De Peyer Clinic, we offer specialist medical tattooing for nipple and areola reconstruction, providing a compassionate, restorative solution for individuals following breast surgery, mastectomy, or gender-affirming procedures. Using advanced micropigmentation techniques, we recreate the natural appearance of the nipple and areola, helping you feel whole again.
What is Medical Nipple Tattooing?
Also known as areola micropigmentation, this is a form of medical-grade tattooing designed to simulate the look of a natural nipple and areola. Whether creating a realistic 3D effect or blending colour after surgery, this highly specialised treatment enhances both appearance and emotional wellbeing.
This treatment is suitable for:
Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction
Post-breast augmentation or reduction
Gender-affirming top surgery
Scarring or pigmentation loss around the nipple
Benefits of Medical Areola Tattooing
Recreates natural-looking nipples and areolae
Offers both 2D and realistic 3D visual effects
Customisable colour, size, and shape to suit your goals
Camouflages scarring or asymmetry
Restores confidence after surgery or trauma
Performed in a calm, medical environment by trained professionals
The Treatment Process:
Consultation: We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, medical history, and desired outcome.
Design & Colour Matching: Your practitioner will carefully design the size, position, and tone that best suits your body.
Tattooing Session: Using specialist pigments and sterile equipment, we implant colour into the skin using a digital device.
Healing & Touch-Up: Healing typically takes 7–14 days. A follow-up session is often recommended 6–8 weeks later to perfect the results.
What to Expect:
Results last several years, with maintenance top-ups as needed.
Treatment time: approx. 60–90 minutes
Little to no downtime.
Topical numbing cream used for comfort.
