What is A.R.T.

 What is A.R.T.

A.R.T. stands for Areola Reconstructive Tattooing. It is a form of tattooing in which pigments are implanted into the dermal layer of skin to create a realistic 3-D nipple and/or Areola. A.R.T. can be done to create a completely new nipple/Areola when one or both are missing.  It can also be used to fix imperfections, asymmetries, scars or boost coloration on existing Areolas.

*If the client is still under the supervision of a physician, they will need to provide written consent from their Physician to have reconstructive tattooing. 

 Insurance- Some insurance companies will help cover the cost of reconstructive tattooing. While we do not bill the insurance directly, we can provide the client with a Super Bill, so they may submit for reimbursement. Clients must check with their insurance company for details prior to procedures to ensure coverage.

I want to help!-  If you are a breast cancer survivor and your insurance will not cover your procedure, please let me know!
