Tit For Tat So To Speak: New Nipple Tattoo Trend Gaining Attention

We didn't see this one coming. In fact, it's bizarre or maybe then again, it's merely another cosmetic enhancement.

We're talking about 'tittooing.' Er, it's when you have your nipples tattooed to make them more attractive, either through definition, color or both. It's a BIG beauty trend in the UK, mainly in Liverpool, Paul McCartney's hometown. Why Liverpool? We haven't a clue.

We are aware of nipple areola tattooing for women who have lost their breasts to cancer. This is considered the final part of breast reconstruction. Talented artists are able to give the patient a 3-dimensional nipple tattoo with a choice of pigment and areola shape + size.

As far as cosmetically enhancing the color + shape of one's nipples for beauty alone, we haven't heard of this procedure being popular here in the U.S., but it's only a matter of time.

Nipple areola tattooing is completed in about a 15 minute in-office procedure. And the results are pretty amazing for the breast reconstruction patient as you can see below:

So, do you go to a neighborhood tattoo parlor for tittooing?!

Doctors warn to stay away from the local parlor and head to a medical tattooist who specializes in this cosmetic procedure to create the most realistic nipples + areolas.

I can understand doing this if you lost a breast to cancer and so forth but to darken your nips for beauty is totally insane!
