Medical Tattoo Cost & Information
NIPPLE & AREOLA RECONSTRUCTION
150 MINUTES FROM £225
This is an incredible treatment for both men and women, and we proudly offer this service free of charge to one client per month (please get in touch for more information). Sadly, hundreds of people each year suffer some sort of chest trauma that leaves them with scarring around the nipple or even total loss of the nipple and areola. This treatment is designed to put back what was lost, and help you feel like yourself again. We use intricate shading techniques to camouflage scaring, and create the illusion of a 3D nipple protruding from the skin... and yes, this is possible even on a completely flat surface! The process itself takes roughly 2 hours per nipple, and if reconstruction is only needed on one side, we will match the tattoo to the existing healthy nipple. We advise waiting a year post surgery to allow the area to fully heal before we can safely and successfully perform the treatment.
SCAR CAMOUFLAGE TATTOO
120 MINUTES FROM £225
Scar camouflage tattoo's are a fantastic way to help disguise light coloured scars from surgery, burns, self harm, or any other form of trauma. Tiny dots of pigment are gently implanted in the skin to help blend the light coloured scar with the surrounding skin (or hair) to achieve a natural and realistic result. This procedure can be performed anywhere on the body, however the scar itself must be at least 12 months old and lighter in colour than the surrounding skin for a successful treatment. If the scar is tight or rough in texture, we can also perform dry needling to help stimulate the bodies wound healing response to relax the skin.
About Paramedical Tattooing
WHAT IS MEDICAL TATTOOING?
Medical micropigmentation, or paramedical tattooing, is the process of implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin to create a desired effect. Medical tattooing can be used to help disguise a range of issues including conditions that were present from birth such as webbed toes, cleft lip or loss of pigment in the skin. It can also help with conditions that developed later in life or through trauma, such as vitilgo, scar camouflage, nipple & areola reconstruction or stretch marks.

It's always a good idea to protect your skin and your medical tattoo with sun cream to maintain the best results.
