What Is 3D Areola Tattooing?

Feel Whole Again.

3D areola and nipple tattooing is a specialized paramedical procedure that creates the appearance of a natural areola using advanced pigmentation techniques. Even on flat, scarred, or reconstructed skin, the illusion of depth and shape can be achieved — without the need for further surgery.  This service is more than cosmetic — it’s a powerful step in emotional and physical healing.

"Kelly has changed my life! I had a double mastectomy in 2011, chemo, radiation, my expanders fell out...multiple surgeries. It was horrific. I had my areolas "tattooed" in 2013. They were one dimensional, basically looked like a brown blob, they faded in 6 months. No follow up, horrible post care... just didn't feel it was worth it.

Kelly had been recommended to me by a very good friend, I was a little skeptical but decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did....OMGADS they look so REAL. The 3D Areola and Nipple Restoration tattooing has changed my life. I broke down in tears as I was "prancing" around my home topless and seeing myself "looking normal". I have confidence, I feel pretty, I feel sexy. Kelly thank you for giving me my life back."
