Our VTCT Level 5 Nipple Tattoo Training and Areola Reconstruction Course is designed for permanent makeup artists who wish to specialise in advanced paramedical tattooing. This course focuses on 3D nipple tattoo techniques, also known as nipple reconstruction, and teaches you how to restore the natural appearance of the nipple and areola. You will develop the practical skills required to support clients following mastectomy, breast surgery, or trauma, helping them achieve realistic, confidence-restoring results.
Nipple tattoo training is a specialised form of paramedical tattooing that teaches practitioners how to recreate the natural appearance of the nipple and areola using advanced micropigmentation techniques. Often used after mastectomy, breast surgery, or trauma, this treatment focuses on creating realistic 3D effects through precise colour matching, shading, and placement.
