They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Nipple Sun Tattoo

Laura writes,

“This is my first tattoo, I got it today. It was done by Newt at Physical Graffiti in Rochester, NY. I’m not going to say it didn’t hurt, but I don’t know how a tattoo on a “normal” part of my body would feel. I like it but I’m planning on getting it added to, either with color or with lettering on the inside. My favorite part is the stars, I hope to get them colored in someday. Hope you like it!”

I do like it, and (not that nipples aren’t great to start with, but…) think more people should make their nipples a little more interesting.

    Ugh, Physical Graffiti. They’re so rude there. I got my right side labret done there and the woman was talking on her phone WHILE doing it! She can’t be polite enough to shut her trap long enough to give her client some respect.

    It’d be nifty if the parts of the areolae outside of the stars and sunbursts were tattooed to be the same color as the surrounding skin.

    Everyone keeps saying how great this is…
    I got to ask, is everyone just comenting on her breasts, or has anyone actually looked at the tattoo? The stars are all uneven, the spacing is uneven around the sun. This really isn’t done that well at all……
    That being said, I love tattoo around nipples.

    one thing that really frustrates me about bme is that you cant look at the tattoos grouped by where they are on the body.
    because i love nipple tattoos but cant find any on the site. searching nipple and or nipple tattoo dont work neither.
    whats a kid who loves tat’ed nips to do?

    God, aeroelas are disgusting.
    I want mine tattooed over with solid stars so I don’t have to deal with them anymore.
    Once as an experiement, I put foundation over them so they matched my skin tone, it looked pretty amazing

    I agree with #20. It’s actually a pretty average tattoo. The lines look all wonky. I do like the idea of nipple tattoos though..I want to turn mine into hearts one day. Oh and..”woo boobs!”
