Step by Step 3D Nipple Tattoo (Areola Repigmentation)

About a year ago I posted some pictures of Thom volunteering to have a nipple put on his arm. I had done the tattoo and the photographs for use in the book that I am putting together on the reconstructive tattooing.

I’m still plugging away at the book. I’m not sure if I will be able to use these photos in the publication and so many people have questions about these tattoos and this work that I figured better to post them then to leave them to sit idly away on the forgotten recesses of my hard drive. (How was that for a run on sentence… I am sure there is not one of my English teachers who would believe anyone would have an interest in wading through any book I ever put out)

The original post on Thom is HERE

More information on the medical tattooing that I do can be found HERE

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

  2. […] I have been making medical reconstruction tattoos of the nipple/areola complex since the early 90s. In ’99 I started working out of Strong Hospital doing this type of work. I am currently seeing patients  Dr. Vega’s office and through the Plastic Surgery Group of Rochester. More info on this can be found at http://www.whitetigertattoo.com/medical.html and an example of this tattooing done on a non-medical volunteer can be seen here https://justteejay.wordpress.com/2011/09/03/step-by-step-3d-nipple-tattoo-areola-repigmentation/.

  3. Hi TeeJay. Your work is amazing! I am doing nipple tattooing at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. Do you do training? I would love to come visit for a few days if you do.

    • Kristi, I have had some medical professionals come and shadow me in the past – but the medical providers that I am working with now are not comfortable with that. I could sit with you and show you what I know, but I do not have any official training workshop type of set up. I have the draft of the book, which while messy might still be helpful. You can contact me directly by email at teejay1@frontiernet.net or by calling me at the shop (585) 621-2973 or (585) 872-5553
      Thanks 🙂
