3D Temporary Nipple Tattoos

Australia's first 3D temporary nipple tattoos to help women on their breast cancer journey to feel whole again. Post surgery, the skin may be too weak after treatment for tattooing or nipple reconstruction, so this is an affordable, pain free & non invasive way to replace what has been taken. This may be a nice gift to someone you know who's had a mastectomy, together we can help to heal.

New opaque nipple colours & hearts are the newest addition! I will add them to the cart this week!

Positioning of Nipple

Please follow the suggested positioning of the nipples. This will help you to get the right position

Testimonials

'The funny thing was that when my husband took the pictures, he took a while to figure out which one was the real one and which one was the tattoo...confirmation that you are an amazing artist! Thank you again for doing this Aleisha, I am so pleased with the result, its so authentic!' 

Susan

Until just recently I would never have imagined that I would have a tattoo, let alone visit a tattoo artist, but at 68 years of age following a bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer and subsequent reconstruction things just didn't look finished. I am so glad that I met Aleisha and was open minded enough to consider and go ahead with the 3D tattoos that she offers for breast cancer survivors. After lots of major surgery, I couldn't face the plastic surgeon yet again, but every time I looked in the mirror it just wasn't right. Aleisha put me at ease and her studio felt so comfortable whilst being clean and hygienic that I coped well with the experience and I am absolutely delighted by the result. I would recommend her skill to anyone who finds themselves in my position. It has given me a feeling of satisfaction to know that I look like my old self even though logically that will never be the case. Thank you so much Aleisha.'

Sandra

Many thanks for your help. I am truly surprised at how much different the tattoos make me feel. Just catching my reflection in the mirror after a shower is no longer horrific.  I know it's just smoke and mirrors, but they look so real! Even I am tricked! And it feels GREAT!! THANK YOU!!'

'My nips look amazing!'

The nurse and surgeon were very impressed, I believe the Breast Surgeon said” best nipples I’ve seen” 

Sue

In 2013 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer after multiple surgeries and other treatments I underwent a full reconstruction of both breasts. I never intended on having my nipples tattooed or reconstructed but Aleisha came to talk at our breast cancer exercise group and after seeing her work I changed my mind. After the doctor made my nipples I went to see Aleisha and she tattooed on my areolas, they were so realistic, I could not of been happier. When you look in the mirror it is a constant reminder of what has been taken but with the work Aleisha did I feel more complete. I took the opportunity to have a hummingbird tattooed over my scar, further reducing the visual reminders of Breast Cancer. At a recent visit to my plastic surgeon and breast cancer surgeon they were both quick to compliment me on the tattoos, with my surgeon saying “the are the best nipple tattoos I have seen.” I am very grateful for the work Aleisha has done in making me feel whole again.
