Hey all…

I have been looking around, but found almost no information about nipple tattooing. I heard all sorts of rumours about the ink dissappearing completely in a few years due to the different kind of skin on the nipple itself and on the areola. Is there any truth in this?

Is it possible to tatto nipples and the surrounding skin, and do I need to be especially aware of something? Do nipples fade fast and can it be fixed with a touch up, or will I be doomed to have the touched up every few years for the rest of my life?

Is there anything I should know when it comes to design and so on? Could a complicated design work on a nipple, or would the odd tissue in the area make it hard to get anything detailed to look nice?

In short: Tell me ALL you know about tattooing nipples.

Thank you in advance. I look forward to your answer.

Nipple and areola tissue is not particularly suited for tattooing, however it can and has been done. Generally I would advise super simple and mainly just solid color for nipple tattoos. Make sure that your artist is experienced with tricky areas, and be prepared for some touch up sessions. I have one friend with green nipples and know several girls with star nipples, so be reassured it can be done even if it isn’t necessarily easy.
