Nipple & Areola Tattoo in GTA
Areola and nipple tattooing
Areola and nipple tattooing is an aesthetic procedure of inserting a specific color under the upper layer of the skin to enhance the beauty of the breast.
Nipple tattooing helps to rebuild not only appearance but also the internal emotional state of both women and men.
Micropigmentation techniques can recreate shape and color, and even completely restore an areola and nipple to a more realistic look.
With Areola and nipple tattooing, Karina can hide or minimize the visibility of scar tissue and burns, giving the skin the same color as the surrounding area.

good to know
* After complete skin recovery after any kind of surgery, burn or injury you can schedule an appointment. The healing is usually complete within 3-6 months, and in some cases may last more than a year.
* Areola and nipple tattooing is performed with numbing cream if necessary.
* The duration of the procedure can last 1-3 hours.
* To achieve natural-looking results 2-3 sessions are required, one month apart.
* Karina uses pigments specifically made for areola and nipple tattooing. These shades match the innate color perfectly, which creates an indistinguishably natural look.
* Scar tissue may become red and swollen during the procedure, but this subsides within a few days. A transparent dressing applied to the treated area will protect it afterwards.
*The results are permanent, some fading may occur over the years, and refresh sessions may be desired. Each body is different, and different factors, like age, quality of pigment, bodily features, and metabolic rate can affect the result over time.
The Procedure: What to Expect
1. Consultation
We discuss your goals, medical history, scar sensitivity, desired shape, and color.
2. Design & Color Matching
I measure and outline a natural areola shape that suits your body proportions. Together we select pigment colors that match your skin tone.
3. Tattoo Session
The procedure typically takes 1.5–2 hours. Using specialized paramedical techniques, I create either a natural areola or a lifelike 3D nipple illusion.
4. Follow-Up / Touch-Up
A touch-up may be recommended 6–8 weeks later to perfect the color and detail.
Does It Hurt?
Most clients feel minimal to no pain, especially after mastectomy where the area may have reduced sensitivity.
However, numbing can be applied if needed to ensure full comfort.
