I’ve been a licensed professional tattoo artist since 1997. I love helping women reclaim a sense of wholeness and completion after a long journey and am honored and humbled to do this work. I’m able to replicate and restore the natural look of a nipple and areola for women who have undergone mastectomy by custom-mixing pigments to match individual skin tones, and then gently tattooing over scars to create the appearance of a realistic nipple/areola, complete with light, shadows, textures and dimension. This specialized trompe l’oeil technique is also known as a 3D Nipple Areola Tattoo. I work with plastic surgeons offices in Miami, from my private studio in Homestead and with The Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health.
