You would think every major cancer hospital would have some kind of professional tattoo artist who could help women in this situation. I've had several friends who have had reconstructive surgery but of course you don't ask them if they have nipples or nipple tattoos. Frankly I think the ultra pink color this woman got is not very natural looking. But if she is happy with it then that is all that matters.

Why go to a hospital? Why not go to a tattoo parlor? Would probably be cheaper that way.

How many do you think they do? I would want someone who does this day in and day out!

Oh I read the transcript but didn't watch the video. I thought this was done in a hospital but now I see it IS in a tattoo parlor. I agree I would want someone who does this all the time.

I had my reconstruction done at KUMED and they have trained staff on hand to do the nipple tattoo coloring. I was very pleased with my results.

1500 to 2000 a year. I'd say. They've become proficient.

IMO, it is a great way to celebrate surviving something very ugly.

Oh, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Or maybe little Mexican sugar sculls, to be a bit more colorful (in more ways than one!).

Good on those tattoo artists who are making it a point to specialize in this!
