The Nipple Innovation Project are the UK’s first Mastectomy Tattoo Charity, who provide free 3D realistic Nipple Tattoos for breast cancer survivors and previvors.
NiP works by providing a directory of approved artists throughout the UK who offer this safe & specialist service, and compensating our medical tattooist for each treatment, at no cost to the patient. We are here to support you on this part of your journey after breast cancer treatment.
NiP was established to provide hyper-realistic, 3D nipple tattoos for breast cancer survivors. Being the UK’s first mastectomy tattoo charity, we’re leading the way in setting high quality standards for this service, not only by trained tattoo artists but also within the NHS.
Our mission through the charity is to empower and dignify breast cancer survivors with realistic nipple tattoos from professionals.
Currently breast cancer survivors are offered a free, semi-permanent tattoo along with their mastectomy treatment. These tattoos fade away and cause detrimental physical and mental health issues for the survivor.
Repeat tattoos aren’t often offered due to lack of NHS funding and can cause further damage to the delicate scar tissue.
Whether you’re just about to start your breast cancer treatment, or you’re post surgery, we think it’s important for you to know your choices when it comes to your body post treatment.
If you are in need of a nipple/areola tattoo, then please ensure no matter who you choose, you ask to see examples of their fresh and healed work. If you have had a certain type of therapy, then you may wish to also see previous examples.
For those people who unfortunately need a double mastectomy, we advise if possible, for you to take pictures before your surgery to help achieve a realistic result if desired.
