A good friends sent me these links regarding a tattoo artist. He is very good at nipple tattoos and has pictures of his work; the link is below with an article and gallery of his work.
Since the beginning, before I even had surgery, I knew I didn't want to keep my nipples. What's the point? I have already breast fed my kids and I'm not having anymore, so take 'em off! 3D tattooing was the nipple option I was moving toward. I haven't heard or seen good results from saving your nipples or nipple reconstruction; my decision is probably driven by my mom's unsuccessful nipple reconstruction. I don't want to go through surgery just to have the new nipples die and fall off due to lack of blood supply. I think that would be traumatizing.
So I was set - 3D tattoo all the way, but I don't know what has changed lately. I think I am mourning my nipples because I have nipple confusion now! (Well, kind of, ultimately I know I am getting the tattoos... maybe?? ) I am thinking about - what IF I get reconstruction, would it make me like my foobies better? I look at it this way - men/women love breasts and when you are intimate with your partner, breasts and nipple are big players in intimacy. I have my lady lumps and they're going to look good, scarred, but I am confident they will be nicely done, but what fun are they going to be!? I know its a bit silly but that is where my nipple confusion lies. My husband says it doesn't matter but I kind of feel that it does. He's not going to love me any less or be less attracted to me, but I don't to be missing anything.
Ultimately, tattooing, for me, is the way to go and if it looks similar to ones that are in Vinnie Myers gallery, I will be one happy lady!
Until now, I haven't seen any actual pictures of nipple tattooing and I think it looks great and I love that women have this option now!
