Completing your journey with artistry and care.

Specialized areola creation and restoration by Emily Mercer, owner and head artist at Good Ink.

“Whether you're completing your breast reconstruction journey or affirming your true self, this final artistic step can be profoundly meaningful. As a specialized areola artist with 8 years of experience, I create natural, realistic results in a private, compassionate environment.”

— Emily Mercer

Service Overview: Areola Hyperrealism Tattoo is a service that aids in the breast/chest reconstruction process. This is achieved through execution of a variety of tattooing techniques, use of multiple pigment shades, and intentional highlighting that delivers a visual effect of a “3D” areola and nipple.

Benefits: Areola Hyperrealism Tattoo is a service that is priceless for those desiring natural and undetectable results following breast and chest reconstruction surgeries. Additionally, this is a great option for clients who have congenital or acquired pigmentation loss.

Health and Safety Protocols: Good Ink maintains strict safety standards, including the exclusive use of single-use, sterile pigments and needles for each client. The studio follows medical-grade sanitation protocols, and holds current blood-borne pathogen certification that is renewed annually to ensure all procedures meet professional safety requirements.

Professional Credentials: Licensed tattoo professional since 2018 with specialized training in areola restoration from The Areola Training Academy.

Client Centered Safety: At Good Ink, we prioritize your comfort through private, single-client sessions in a judgment-free environment. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes each client's unique journey, honoring your personal pace and boundaries throughout the process. The studio is designed as a space where your emotional wellbeing matters just as much as the artistic outcome.
