Just wanted to let everyone know tomorrow will be a step forward for me.  I will be having my nipples tattooed on.  Say a little prayer for me they look ok.

    Datsy - I am praying and sending you

    magic sprinkles for strength .. Yikes, I remember my "nipple tattoos" - a painful experience that has been locked away in memory vault - shoot, I just broke out in a cold sweat -- ..

    I truly pray for amazing results - with little to NO pain.

    Please let us know how it goes.. Okay?

    Hope they turn out great!

    I went for them and ended up tattooing the whole right side with humming birs , hibiscus and ferns and absolutely love it...   it didn't hurt at all as the while area was no feeling.  Hope you love yours.

    nipple tattoo

    Well I had my nipples tattooed.  I am very pleased, but It did hurt more than I thought it would.  I am so glad I did this.  It just made me feel better about myself.  Thank everyone for the good thoughts and prayers.

    NO Diff

    I had to have 2 diff kinds of reconstruction so size difference. Tattoos were so awesome everyone wanted to see. Size diff not an issue at all.  After 12 yrs there is some fading but that's it.  I say go for it. but it's your decision
