Custom or realistic natural looks

Areola Tattooing in Denver

Areola tattooing recreates the look of the nipple and areola with pigment. Whether you are healing after a mastectomy, gender affirming top surgery, or plastic surgery, I am here to help you feel whole.

Every result is designed for you, from a soft natural look to an ultra realistic, dimensional areola. Color matching, sizing, and placement are planned together with you in a private, unhurried appointment.

Healing and aftercare

Healing looks different for every person and every area of skin. I walk you through aftercare in detail at your appointment and send you home with products formulated for healing skin.

If you have a medical condition, are still recovering from surgery, or are unsure whether your skin is ready, please speak with your healthcare provider before booking.

Common questions

How soon after surgery can I get an areola tattoo?
That depends on your surgery and how your skin has healed. Please check with your surgeon or healthcare provider that you are cleared before booking, and we will talk about it at your consultation.
Can you match my natural coloring?
Yes. I custom blend pigments to suit your skin tone and undertones, and you are part of every color decision.
