Areola Tattoo
The artistry of tattooing has made the jump from general body modification to medical reconstruction with new skills being honed by professionals. By injecting the dermal layer with ink, the artist can produce realistic illusions for those that have undergone reconstructive surgery. By recreating elements of the body that have been lost to surgery (like areolas, fingernails, or bellybuttons), tattoo artists are able to assist patients through recovery by helping to restore their self-esteem.
