Exploring Tattoo Design as an alternative

If 3D nipple tattooing doesn't align with your preferences, Coen brings a wealth of experience to the table when it comes to Tattoo Design and Art as a viable option to conceal scarring. Whether you're looking for partial or full scar coverage, Coen excels at creating designs that harmoniously integrate with your unique body shape and the specific area of scarring. The appearance, thickness, width, and the healing time your scar has undergone can all play a role in determining the ideal style and influencing the design concept or theme that Coen can craft for you.

Clients who have worked with Coen often gravitate towards elegant and fluid floral shapes or intricate ornamental patterns. These designs not only provide an aesthetic solution but also serve as a source of personal empowerment and self-expression. You can find examples of such designs below, illustrating the artistry and dedication Coen brings to every client's transformation journey.

How to begin your journey with us

How to Begin Your Journey with Us
 

The most important step in this process is to allow ample time for your body and scars to heal following your surgery. Coen, our expert artist, generally recommends that your scars have a healing period of at least 8-12 months before the tattooing process. This duration allows the scars to settle, ensuring the best possible application of ink and remarkable tattooing results.

During the healing period, it's also essential to take some time to consider the options available to you for covering your scars, whether you're interested in 3D nipple/areola color work or a personalized tattoo design.
 

If you're considering 3D nipple/areola color work, Coen advises you to think about the specifics of the nipple/areola you envision. Take into account factors like shape, color, size, and whether you'd like your previous nipples to serve as a reference for your new ones.
 

For those leaning more toward a unique tattoo design, we encourage you to explore various design ideas that resonate with you and that you'd be comfortable having tattooed over your scar tissue. You can start by searching keywords such as "scar cover-up tattoo," "mastectomy tattoo," "breast tattoos," or "cancer survivor tattoos" on Google or Pinterest to ignite your creativity and refine your vision.
 

The more thought you put into your preferences, the smoother the process will be for Coen as he prepares a personalised design that is tailored to your unique journey and aspirations.

 

We are here to support you every step of the way on your path to renewed self-confidence and empowerment. Whenever you are ready please contact us via email to coen@tattoogoldnz.com

REVIEWS

Reviews from our beautiful clients

“I want to thank you again for my beautiful tattoo and the respectful way you handled my appointment. When I looked at it for the first time in the mirror I just felt joy. When I got home the emotions came along with the tears as I thought about my journey and the tattoo being on my wish list from the beginning. It marks the end of a painful journey and the beginning of many years ahead as the new me. Below is my journey and my reason for the Tattoo.

Christmas Eve 2019 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast. I choose to have a mastectomy which I had January 2020. As my cancer was caught early due to a scheduled mammogram, nothing in the lymph nodes and having a mastectomy I didn’t need radiation or chemo but I have had to take hormone blockers. I then had my left breast off in November 2021 as I have chosen to go flat. The tattoo wasn’t really about scar coverage it was about putting something of beauty on the blank canvas that is my new chest. The fact that it covers some of my scar is a bonus. I now look in the mirror and see my tattoo and smile as it is beautiful, I don’t focus on what I have lost but how great my future is. It has brought me so much joy.”

“I was diagnosed at 36 in August 2010 with breast cancer which turned my world upside down. I had a mastectomy on my right breast and my nipple was also removed. I have an implant and also part of my back muscle was used for breast symmetry. I had nipple reconstruction done by my surgeon using my own skin which was amazing. I also had “tattooing” done on my aereola but this wasn’t permanent and it faded over time leaving a white area. This made me feel not fully complete as a woman. I have been following Coens work for a while and saw he had done nipple reconstructions so I reached out to him.

I meet with Coen to do some nipple tattooing. Recovering from the shock of having breast cancer and the removal of a breast as a woman you struggle with feeling incomplete or less than a woman. It took me a few years to adjust to this new normal.
Coen right from our first meeting you made me feel so comfortable and safe in your presence. I’m in awe of your talent and the kindness and empathy you show to a woman’s unique journey and rediscovering her self love 💕

You matched my nipple with such attention to detail. Your skill is second to none and I recommend you highly to any woman or man who have had breast cancer. Keep up your inspirational and dedicated mahi. Thank you once again for being part of my journey. Truely grateful 🙏🏻”

"Coen, my tattooist is a true professional. This was my first tattoo experience so was very scary for me regarding the pain etc.

My fears soon vanished as every step was explained to me & it was important to Coen that I was comfortable & happy with the final result.

I am absolutely delighted with what was achieved & I only wish that I'd done this years ago.

Thank you so much for your wonderful work which is so appreciated. 👌 Warm regards - Sue

I would highly recommend you to any friends that were considering getting a tattoo cosmetic or otherwise."

“In 2019 at age 32, 6 weeks after having my third child, I was diagnosed with stage 3/grade 3 breast cancer. What followed was 2 years of countless appointments and treatments which took a huge toll on me physically and emotionally. Part of my treatment included a full mastectomy in which my nipple was removed. I was left feeling incomplete, and I hated looking at myself in the mirror to see the marks that cancer left on my body. It was a constant reminder of the hard times I went through. However, now with my new nipple, I barely notice all the scars and it’s made a huge difference in getting back to my (new) normal. I always joked about my funny looking breast after cancer and didn’t realize how emotional it would be to feel complete again. 

Coen, you were such a gentleman the whole way through. You are a perfectionist and have such an amazing eye for detail. The work you do for people like myself is so inspiring and words can not express how thankful I am.  Now I can not wait to get another tattoo from you!”

“Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 at the age of 39, I had a left mastectomy and TRAM flap reconstruction.  I am forever grateful to the amazing surgeons I had and the options that private insurance gave me.  I had a nipple tattoo that was done by the nurse who worked for my plastic surgeon but 10 years on, this had completely faded.  I wanted to have the nipple tattoo redone and add some fine line flowers to celebrate the journey and milestone of 10 years.  We were referred to Coen Mitchell by another tattoo artist my husband knew and when I reached out to him about my idea he was very responsive and supportive. The design Coen came up with is perfect and the whole process was very smooth (and relatively painless given I don’t have a lot of feeling after the reconstruction).  I would thoroughly recommend Coen to anyone considering getting something similar done and I have found the results to be both less obvious (the nipple now looks Florence natural) and a celebration of my journey.  Thanks Coen”

"About 15 years ago I had breast reduction surgery – for two reasons. First my breasts were big and saggy and secondly there is a long history of breast cancer in my family and reducing the amount of breast tissue would lower my chances of getting breast cancer.
 

Five years after that (October 2013) I felt the dreaded lump in my left breast. My mother, sister, aunt , grandmother all had (and survived) breast cancer – now me!.
 

I elected to have a mastectomy and reconstruction. These two surgeries left my nipple and areola a mess.

I am so grateful that Coen has been able to use his incredible skill to colour this area to make it look as natural as possible.

I am thrilled with the result – thank you Coen."

"In 2019 at age 26, I had a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy to reduce my chances of hereditary breast cancer. It was a no-brainer. However, with two young children, it was not easy. Two surgeries, multiple expander fills, and minor infections followed by my mum being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The thought of another surgery to create nipples was too much.

 

I was assured the costly 3D nipple tattoos would be incredible and very realistic. Clearly, this was not the case. After two attempts, I said no to anymore. The lack of experience was obvious. I resigned to the fact that this was what I looked like now, and I should be grateful.

 

After losing Mum last year, I decided I wanted this chapter closed. I deserved better and wanted to look in the mirror confidently. After following Coen for years, I came across his nipple tattoos. I had always dreamed he would design something for me, but I didn't expect it to be nipples.

 

Coen, you are changing women's lives. Your skill and professionalism are unmatched. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
