Medical and 3D nipple tattooing: Restoring confidence after cancer
Episode 90
Thursday, 20 November, 2025
For many women, the final step in breast reconstruction after cancer is medical tattooing. In this episode of HealthCert's The Aesthetic Shift podcast series, Kelly Beasy speaks with Aleisha Gannon, a leading Australian paramedical tattooist whose work in 3D nipple tattooing has supported thousands of women in their recovery after breast cancer. In this conversation, Aleisha (Cosmetic & Body Art Tattooist and Founder of Pink Lotus Breast Restoration) explains what makes nipple tattooing so specialised, the unique challenges of working on reconstructed skin, and why correct technique, colour theory, and infection prevention are non-negotiable. She shares how she collaborates with surgeons and breast care nurses, the growing role of nurses in medical tattooing, and why evidence-based aftercare matters just as much as artistry. The episode also explores corrective work, common complications, and how clinicians can support patients who may be hesitant or unsure about their options. Watch this episode here.
