A Method, a Movement, a Mission
When our founder had botched nipple tattoos, she knew something major had to be done so she started A.R.T. She pioneered a new approach to tattooing, created and designed products to support it and now works with some of the best in the world.
Areola Restoration is a MEDICAL ART, not unlike medical illustration or creating prosthetics. It is NOT a medical 'procedure' and must be completed by a skilled tattoo professional rather than a medical professional unskilled at the art of tattoo
Mission Statement:
We believe that every survivor and paramedical tattoo client deserves world-class results
We believe that every tattoo professional deserves world-class training and products
We are here to provide that while raising standards.
The Gold Standard - A.R.T.

Our Impact:
We offered the first ever mentorship in this area, giving tattooists the support they needed to find their own greatness. We believe so much in our process that we refer our students to survivors everywhere.
We created the first ever permanent areola pigment set, the first ever areola needle cartridges, the only scarred practice skins, the first to represent all ethnicities, and Temporary Areola Tattoos for survivors to try A.R.T. on before committing to real tattoos, or if they're unable to.
A.R.T. Tattoo heARTists are some of the best in the world, and since everything we do is rooted in emotional healing and excellence, we know you're in good hands. Otherwise, they wouldn't be on the site!
When Our Founder got 'botched'
nipple tattoos...
...she could barely stand to look in the mirror. Stacie-Rae had already been doing areola tattoos for 4 years when a nipple tattoo 'trainer' overworked her too-fragile skin.
Technical Skillset, Artistic Ability, + Trauma Awareness are required for tattoos to be healing.
Otherwise, they may cause harm....
Knowing first-hand what survivors go through, she decided to start a movement...
