Hi. I am looking for recommendations for Areola tattooing in the Brisbane-Gold Coast area.(I did not like the reviews online for the tattooer my plastic surgeon suggested).

Got the areola tattoos yesterday at Tailor Made Tattoo in South Brisbane, by Peta. So very very pleased with the result. The price was reasonable. The studio was very clean and felt comfortable to be there, Peta was amazing, respectful to the situation and a very talented artist. I feel i have completely reclaimed my body back. Fully recommend the tram flap (tho painful and slow recovery time), + nipple reconstruction and then areola 3D tattooing. All worth the effort. :-)

I have had a nipple reconstruction at the Mater Hospital.Very happy.Have ellected to go to a local tattoo artist for the areola in three months time. They have no medicare rebate, but i prefer them to the cosmetic clinic the hospital refered me to.Sometimes you just gotta follow that gut feeling.So far, very happy with my choice...(tho its only been two weeks and i am still healing and swollen )

In honour of you all, and the fear of the unknown, i have decided to share a photo. I found not seeing what a (double) tram flap reconstruction, nipple reconstruction or tattooed areolas would look like before my procedures, was extremely stressful. So i share this with you all.. . 💕💋👙

That looks great - barely noticeable. I'm feeling so hopeful right now - even tho I dont know what type of incision I might have. Thanks for sharing x

Yes. It definitely helped with my mental health.
The 3D tattooing is pretty amazing. They would look natural either way.
Just follow your instincts, they will tell you what's right for you.

Hi @Delos that is a great result!
I am in Sydney and stil deciding whether to have nipple reconstruction or just 3D tattoos - agree that something g would be good to “close the chapter”.

PS the double mastectomy was Dr Lambley
Also at the Mater in Brisbane. A lovely man.
I had the mastectomy and reconstruction on the same day( a week in hospital).
The nipples n areolas a few months later.
I opted to only have a local for the nipples reconstruction, and was home 2hrs later.

Brunajh, so sorry to hear of your diagnosis and op. It's a rough ride, but hang in there.
I had my tram flap reconstruction( boobs & nipples) by Justin Perron, via the Mater Hospital. And the areolas tattooed by Peta at Tailer Made Tattoo, just around the corner from the hospital. The reconstructions were free, but I paid for the tattoos. But you can get the tattoos free from certain clinics.
I am extremely happy with the results. They all softened over time and feel & look very natural.
The tram flap was painful recovery, but worth it.
I also did a 'survivors' course at the YMCA which I also recommend.
Love n strength to you.

Hi! I’m fresh out of a lumpectomy and looking now at a double mastectomy. Im still raw and scared and don’t know how to feel. This has given me so much hope. Thank you for sharing. Did you have your surgery in Brisbane? Could you share with me who you saw? It looks like a brilliant job ❤️

@MumofAsh
My thoughts are with you, i hope it all goes well. X
Mine was an immediate reconstruction, which , i think, is why my incisions were that shape.
