Giving you the power to choose
There can be any number of reasons one might choose to receive an areola tattoo. For some, mastectomy may have left their nipples scarred, misshapen, or removed. For others, the goal might be to simply improve the general appearance of their nipples.
Ultimately, whether someone decides to receive areola tattoos in Houston is completely up to them. If you’ve made that decision and are ready to take action, the team at ChristiMD is ready to help you achieve the appearance you want.

What to expect with areola tattoos in Houston
Step 1
Your first step at ChristiMD will be to meet with one of our providers for an initial one-on-one consultation.
During this time, we work with you and discuss your unique needs and challenges, as well as your goals for treatment. We also use this time to evaluate your skin tone and discuss the best color and pigmentations needed to meet these goals.
Step 2
The actual treatment process is similar to that of a tattoo you would get on other areas of your body.
After determining the proper treatment areas, our providers will provide a topical anesthetic to the treatment area and use a small needle to inject small amounts of micropigment to create a natural look.
Step 3
Patients may experience some discomfort during their areola tattoos in Houston, but this is generally minor.
The entire process will take roughly 1 to 2 hours, after which we'll use a surgical dressing to cover the tattoo site.
