Areola Tattoo
Areola & Nipple Tattooing — Green Spa and Beauty Centre | Cairns QLD
At Green Spa and Beauty Centre in Cairns QLD, we offer areola and nipple tattooing—a restorative and empowering cosmetic tattoo treatment. This life-changing procedure helps restore confidence and redefine the appearance of the breast area after surgery, trauma, or personal choice.
What Is Areola & Nipple Tattooing?
Areola tattooing is a form of paramedical cosmetic tattooing that recreates or enhances the natural appearance of the areola and nipple. Using advanced techniques and custom-blended pigments, we achieve realistic 3D results—often used after breast reconstruction or augmentation surgery.
Who Is It For?
This treatment is ideal for:
- Breast cancer survivors post-mastectomy
- Individuals post breast augmentation or reduction
- Anyone with naturally faded or asymmetrical areolas
- Clients with scarring in the breast area
- Transgender clients seeking gender-affirming results
- Anyone seeking areola colour enhancement or symmetry
