Hi, I'm TeeJay
I have been making nipple/areolar tattoos since the early 90s. It was never my intent to specialize in this kind of work but as the years went on it kind of worked out that way. For about 20 years I also did this kind of work through medical facilities & I continue to teach others this type of tattooing.
If there is any way that I can assist you - either through actual tattooing or by answering any questions that you may have, please do not hesitate to reach out.
FAQ:
DO I NEED A CONSULTATION BEFORE THE TATTOOING?
Not normally. I schedule enough time that we should be able to answer any questions and go through anything that either of us would need to know the day of your appointment. If you have specific questions that you would like answered we can always communicate via email or arrange a phone call.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT AFTER MY LAST SURGERY BEFORE GETTING TATTOOED?
For the most part once you are healed up and comfortable you are fine to get tattooed. If however you believe that you will be having further revisions done, it is best to wait until all surgeries are finished before commencing the tattooing.
HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT THE COLORS?
Many people have worried that they did not have pre-surgery photos for me to work from. That is never an issue and normally the pre-surgery photos aren't even very helpful. I will mix a generic color that I think works well with your skin tone and then you tell me how to adjust it (i.e., make it darker, more brown, less pink, whatever). If you are unsure of the color I will always recommend going lighter as that is easy to correct later on.
DOES IT HURT?
Getting tattooed can be uncomfortable. Generally speaking however anyone who I have tattooed for this type of work has been through so many procedures and surgeries that in comparison tattooing is really not a big deal.
CAN I USE NUMBING CREAMS?
Please do not apply anything to the area that we will be tattooing without talking to me about it first.
HOW DO I HEAL THE TATTOO?
I have a very long involved set of care instructions on another page (Link above as CARE INSTRUCTIONS). Healing your tattoo will be much simpler than the surgeries and procedures you have most likely taken care of prior to arriving here.
WILL INSURANCE PAY FOR MY TATTOOING?
Unfortunately no. When I was working out of medical facilities they did bill through and work with the insurance companies. I do not have the capacity to do so.
HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?
Bilateral 3D Effect - $350
Bilateral Conventional - $300
Unilateral 3D Effect - $250
Unilateral Conventional - $200
Decorative tattooing varies depending on the complexity of the project.
Touch ups on Reconstructive Tattooing (that I created initially) are Free of Charge
If you need reconstructive tattooing and can not afford it, please reach out. We can figure something out. I have done trades for photographs and things like having a student present during the tattooing. Have a service we can trade? Good at making gluten free treats? Really, talk to me. We can find a solution.
