BME: Body Modification Ezine

A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

    From Joy:

    I was recently approached by Dr. Racanelli, a surgeon in NYC. He inquired whether I would be interested in tattooing the areola and nipple areas of his patients that have gone through breast reconstruction after mastectomies. During some surgeries, areolae and nipples are removed. Although reconstructions can create a “breast” using the surrounding tissue and implants, they cannot recreate the color of the areolae and nipple.

    I told Dr. Raccanelli that I would love to help and he could give out my information to any patient who was interested. I had my first corrective/reconstruction tattoo procedure yesterday. If any one is interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Below are before and after pictures.

    Before - Tattooed Nipple Reconstruction

    After - Tattooed Nipple Reconstruction

    After - Tattooed Nipple Reconstruction

    While this is Joy’s first areola and nipple reconstructive tattoo, I am positive it will not be her last!

    Nine months later they’re getting a baby tattooed on the other foot I think… Tattooed by Derek Lewis at Yonge Street Tattoos in Toronto, Canada.

    A little while back I posted a “tea time” themed tattoo and people said that it looked like clip art (to which the wearer replied, “that’s because it is clip art, duh!”, or something like that)… Anyway, I thought on that meme I would also post Alexandra’s teapot chestpiece, done by Joe Stamp at Trilogy in Memphis, TN… Another tattoo that just gets cooler the older you get, and peaks in your seventies!
