How Long Do I Need To Wait Before/After A Surgical Procedure?

Timing of nipple tattooing depends on what type of surgery you had, when it was done and the location of the incisions/scars.

       If the scar isn’t in the area where the nipple will go you should wait until at least 6-8 weeks post-surgery. If there is a scar in the area you are needing tattooed or if you’ve had nipple reconstruction, you should wait around 20 weeks (5 months) post-surgery. If the skin isn’t fully healed the tattoos will take longer to heal and can result in scarring, loss of color and negatively effect the healed results!

        I will say, based on google searches and what I've heard from asking surgeons - I have heard a lot of different time frames when it comes to tattooing after a surgery. The best thing to do is ask your doctor specifically, and if their answer differs from what I've said here - please contact me and we can discuss possibilities! :)
