Nipple Disappears Under Tattoo

The thing that strikes me about this nipple tattoo by DTM at Amazing Grace Body Arts in Geneva, NY, is that it’s sort of like a permanent pasty… It actualy kind of freaks me out (which is weird) in a way because it gives the illusion that the nipple is missing. And I like nipples I guess.

    question: does ink in the areola and nipple itself disperse over time, or does it stay relatively well if placed properly?

    you make room for the nipple because it hurts to tattoo over 😛

    also, so you can find it later on. ^^ case in point.

    Well, she will just have to have her nipple pierced so the ring will make it easier to find.

    yeah I am deff going to have to go over the whole of the piece one more time after it heals….
    But towards the end she was getting a little antsy..
    other than that the lines for the nipples had to be gone over twice.. and I noticed that the female nipple or at least in her case bled more than the 2 sets of male nipplesIve gone over

    infants are not colorblind. not the higher percentage of them anyways. just had to correct that.
