Gender Affirming / Non-binary Nipple Tattoos

Areola-Nipple tattooing can be performed after a number of different gender affirming surgeries.

There are a wide variety of areola-nipple tattooing options to suit your needs after your surgery, our artists at Paradise Tattoo Studio are always happy to speak with you in more detail about how our areola-nipple tattooing services can help you in your transition journey.

Some people opt to remove the areola-nipple complex completely during their top surgery, in order to have a 3D realistic areola-nipple tattoo applied afterwards. This option provides flat skin, without scar tissue, to recreate a 3D realistic areola-nipple tattoo.

Nipple grafts are performed during gender affirming surgery to allow for resizing and placement of the nipple-areola complex. Areola-nipple tattooing can be used to enhance the shape and symmetry of nipple grafts after surgery, as well as adding pigment to the nipple-areola complex, disguising scarring and adding a 3D nipple effect to the area for a more natural-looking appearance by adding color and dimension if needed.

Many people also choose to combine a traditional tattoo design with their areola-nipple tattoos, to complete their desired look and disguise their top surgery scars.
