Anyone gotten Nipple tattoos? Were you happy with the results?

Tattoos fade and they fade in a bizarre patchy way.
After way too many surgeries my surgeon decided on the 3D tattoos for me. I honestly think she was way more excited about them than I was. The artist was amazing and her work was absolute perfection.
I was also ghosted after the main reconstructions when my surgeon upgraded from doing breast cancer reconstructions to a shiny private office full of laser therapies and private cosmetic surgeries.
I was fairly certain I remember being told I needed more fat grafting as well as the nipple tat touch ups. But after the second tat shading appointment she told me I was all finished and to talk to my primary if I had any questions or complications. My primary had questions about my reconstruction, she referred them to ask an oncologist because she’s “ just the surgeon”. The oncologist was like but this isn’t my work so how would I know, ask the reconstruction surgeon… so I get zero follow up from anyone.
But they’ve faded so much after, I guess it’s been three years now, that it looks more odd than anything. Like you can tell that it’s a nipple, maybe, but the layers of how it’s fading make my breast look more like they’re bruised than nipples.
I was interested in nipple reconstitution but think my surgeon was just tired of dealing with me personally. I had a lot of surgeries and the income was exciting for her to do but I wasn’t happy with being gaslighted into getting them. I really really liked her too but it pretty much ended what was a really good friendship and her staff left her because of the way she was rolling through cancer patients as cash cows too,
But anyways.
The prosthetic type of stickers I was given with the nips on them to know what I would look like with new nips seemed more realistic. I wish I had just gotten them because it’s actually nice not needing to cover my nips or have them protrude through clothing.
It’s been a few years and the biggest discomfort I’ll get is from trying to wear a bra, they simply don’t fit comfortably no matter the size, I wear camisoles and shape wear.
If you want the tats go for it, they do look nice and you can go and pay a tat artist for the touch ups over time as needed.
I can’t offer advice on the surgery I haven’t experienced it.
But I personally did like the stick on prosthetics the most.

Me again ..i have all kinds of problems. Lol Anyone have tattoos for nipples? I had reconstruction on one side and it didn't come out good. Looks like a mole. Going to ask if surgeon can fix it but curious if people like their tattooed nipples.

A friend recently had done as last step in reconstruction. Was done at Duke, same place she had surgery. Insurance paid for as part of reconstruction. She seems happy with results.

Hope this helps

My friend had tattoos of their nipples and it looks great. It depends on the skill of the tattoo artist. Also the tatto fades after awhile and has to be redone. Alot of plastic surgeon's use tattoo artist get their recommendation and redo your nipple tattoo. Good luck!

I was thinking about getting the nipple tattoos and then found out that my surgeon paid for it anyway so that kind of sealed my decision. It doesn't look as realistic as I thought it would but it's better than nothing. the only thing I can recommend is to think about the exact color you want beforehand. I wish I would have thought to look at some pictures first.
