  • Hi Whitelaw2703 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Hopefully some of our breast cancer ladies who have had this done will pop by to share their advice and ideas with you soon but whilst you wait I thought you may want to have a look at some information I've found online about nipple tattoos just here.

    I hope this helps and you're able to find a design you like soon.

    All the best,

  • Hi

    thank you I have found some helpful info in there, and will read more at another time, hopefully I will decide what I want to do soon, it is really hard to make a decision tho and I change my mind all the time, one minute I want a nipple to match the other (which I’m worried if it looks different to the other would not look right) so that gets me thinking of getting a tattoo to fill the space and around side seen a really nice one that I like. 

    Thanks again   Judith 

  • I live in London so I don’t know anyone in your area. I recently had a nipple tattoo and it has changed the way I see my ‘ new’ breast. I feel more confident as it looks so real. You can see it through a lacey bra and I feel sexy again! Two appointments and she matched the colour and shape of my own nipple. (It looked bright for a couple of weeks.) I am so happy I had it done. A step towards feeling like the pre cancer me.
