Areola tattooing Brisbane

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).

    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.. .

  • 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 ❤️
  • 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. 
  • 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. 
  • 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”.

    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.
