AREOLA RESTORATION

Areola restoration, also known as nipple reconstruction or tattooing, is a specialized procedure that uses pigments to recreate the appearance of a natural-looking areola and nipple following breast surgery. This service supports individuals healing from breast cancer, top surgery, or other chest procedures—helping restore confidence and a sense of wholeness.


Each treatment plan is personalized based on individual needs and desired results. We are proud to accept most medical insurance plans for this service.


We offer a free consultation to discuss your goals, answer any questions, and begin the insurance verification process. You can book your consultation directly through our booking page.

Areola Restoration FAQs

Please reach us at ohiocitybeautystudio@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 An areola tattoo is a cosmetic procedure that is done on the area of the breast or chest where the areola is found. The idea of areola pigment is that it alters the appearance of the nipple in some way, be it adding one or changing the shape. Areola tattoos are done in the same manner as other tattoos—by depositing pigment under the skin to create a permanent image—but tend to be particularly detailed in regards to blending and feathering, to ensure an extremely natural look. 


The purpose of the procedure is to restore the natural-looking appearance of the areola and nipple after breast surgery, such as a mastectomy or breast reconstruction.


As with any tattooing procedure, there is a risk of infection and an allergic reaction to the pigments used. It's important to research and choose a reputable, licensed tattoo artist to minimize these risks.


Areola restoration is suitable for most skin types, but it's important to discuss your specific case with a professional before deciding to go through with the procedure.


Your PMU artist will discuss the desired nipple size, placement, and pigment colors that complement your skin. Your artist will then assess skin type and any scar patterns or scar tissue that may require more technical skill to achieve the end result. Once design is agreed upon the artist begins inserting pigments with a pmu machine into the skin crafting around and keeping the skin safe. 


The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours.


Some people may experience slight discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally considered to be less painful than traditional tattooing.


Your areola will take, on average, 4 weeks to heal. You will experience a peeling process between 7 to 10 days which will cause those scabs to fall off once it heels. Do not pick the scabs!  


OPTION 1
• Using Tegaderm for your aftercare is your best choice, even if there is projection on the nipple.
• It is recommended to keep the bandages on for 5 to 7 days. You may have to physically remove the bandages while others will find it comes off on its own. (Either is fine)
• If you have an allergy to adhesive it is a good idea to not use Tegaderm or if tolerable use the bandage for 24-48 hours before removing.


OPTION 2
• The second option is to use after care and a tefla bandage. These can be worn inside a bra to keep in place or by using paper tape (non-adhesive and available at the pharmacy/ amazon) Change bandage daily (I recommend that you provide the
replacement bandages).


The effect of the tattooing can last for several years, but it may need to be touched up periodically to maintain the desired appearance.


It depends on your insurance plan and the reason for the procedure. Some insurance plans may cover it as part of breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, while others may not. It's best to check with your insurance provider to see if it is covered.


Scars and Stretch Marks

Stretch Marks

$400+

The tattoo is one of the preferred camouflages because its result is definitive.Treatments improve the appearance and thickness of the tissue on the stretch marks. Even better texture and thickness achieves the tone similar to the rest of the skin. In all cases it should be made clear that the objective is to try to minimize the contrast of the stretch marks and normal skin tones. That it is a camouflage and not a solution to remove stretch marks.

Scar Camouflage

$400+

Scars, burns and discolorations caused by skin conditions can be camouflaged with the medical micropigmentation process and pigments.

Scar Camouflage

Scar camouflage is a form of paramedical tattooing designed to blend scars into the surrounding skin using pigments that match your natural skin tone. At Ohio City Beauty Studio—a trusted scar camouflage studio in Cleveland—we specialize in restoring confidence and supporting emotional healing through personalized, artistic solutions.

Scar Camouflage FAQs

The main purpose of scar camouflage is to visually blend scars with the surrounding skin, making them less noticeable. This permanent makeup for scars is ideal for those who want to reduce the emotional and physical visibility of injuries, surgeries, or past self-harm.


Whether your scars are from self-harm, surgery, burns, or trauma, scar camouflage can offer:

  • Reduced appearance of scars, burns, or skin discoloration
  • Restored self-esteem and emotional healing
  • Long-lasting results with minimal maintenance
  • Freedom from daily concealer or clothing adjustments

This tattoo to cover self-harm scars can help you regain confidence, especially when wearing short sleeves, swimsuits, or open clothing.


We provide scar cover-up near you in Cleveland for:

  • Self-harm scars
  • Post-surgical scars
  • C-section scars
  • Facelift scars
  • Scalp scars from trauma or hair transplants
  • Stretch marks
  • Acne scars
  • Burns or contracture scars
  • Mastectomy scars
  • Vitiligo (if stabilized for 1+ year)


You may be a candidate if your scars or stretch marks:

  1. Are at least 12 months old and no longer changing in color
  2. Are smooth and flat (not raised or bumpy)
  3. Do not have dark edges or keloids (especially for darker skin tones due to PIHP)
  4. You have realistic expectations—scar camouflage won’t erase a scar, but it will significantly reduce visibility and help it blend beautifully


At our scar camouflage studio in Cleveland, your procedure will include:

1. Consultation

A trauma-informed, private consultation where we assess your scar and goals.

2. Custom Pigment Matching

We’ll match your skin tone using advanced color theory and multiple pigment blends.

3. Scar Camouflage Session

Using a PMU electric device, pigment is gently inserted into the skin, mimicking natural skin tones around the scar.


Each session typically takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on the scar’s size and location.


Results typically last 3–5 years or longer. Touch-ups may be needed depending on your skin type, sun exposure, and lifestyle.


Most clients report minimal discomfort, and numbing cream is applied during the procedure. It’s generally considered less painful than traditional tattoos.


As with any tattooing procedure, there’s a slight risk of:

  • Infection
  • Allergic reactions
  • Uneven fading

Choosing a licensed and reputable paramedical tattoo artist in Ohio—like the team at Ohio City Beauty Studio—helps minimize these risks.


For best results after your scar camouflage Cleveland treatment:

  • Keep area clean and dry for 24–48 hours
  • Apply thin layer of recommended ointment
  • Avoid scratching or picking at the area
  • Avoid direct sun, tanning beds, and sweating for 1–2 weeks
  • Wear loose clothing over treated area
  • Use SPF 30+ daily after healing
  • Attend follow-ups for touch-ups if needed


It depends on your provider. Some plans may cover scar camouflage tattooing for medical or reconstructive reasons. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly.


 You should wait 6–12 months post-surgery before receiving a scar camouflage tattoo. The scar must be fully healed, flat, and its final color should have settled.


Located in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio City Beauty Studio offers:

  • A trauma-informed, judgment-free environment
  • Experienced, certified paramedical tattoo artists
  • Natural-looking, long-lasting results
  • Compassionate care for clients healing from self-harm

Removal and Lightening

$200

Pigment lightening + removal deposits another layer or layers of pigment or saline solution over the old eyebrow tattoo or PMU work. After the required number of applications, layer by layer, the brows return to their normal appearance. A slightly different type of pigment will be used in order for the old ink to “lighten” and be covered with a more appropriate one. You and your artist will determine the shade and color that is closest, if not the exact match, to your natural brows.
