Hello,
I had a mastectomy and reconstruction of the breast and nipple. I am now looking to have an areola tattoo - ideally in or around London. I would be grateful if anyone could share recommendations of tattoo artists with expertise in this area.
Thanks!
This is who I plan to go to for my tattoo… instagram.com/the.areola.tattooist?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Kally is in Hertfordshire and I’ll be travelling from North Yorkshire to go and see her. I’ve picked her based on a recommendation by a friend who is a PMU artist (my friend specializes in brows, particularly corrective work after disasters with poor work elsewhere). According to my friend, Kally is one of the best in the country (and I trust her recommendation).
A piece of advice I was given - ask about what body position you’ll be in when they mark the area before starting. This should never be lying down.
Hi London Lady,
I myself had a unilateral mastectomy (left breast) with implant reconstruction and had a 3d areola tattoo with Laura Jane Powell, known as the ‘pixel nurse’.
She is london-based and both a clinical nurse specialist and a certified tattoo artist. I was extremely pleased with the results, identical to my right natural breast.
I cannot praise her enough and would recommend her to anybody who needs an areola tattoo.
Here is her website.
