I think this is beautiful (and a cool option for breast cancer survivors who are interested); really like the concept and the artist.
In his shop in a modest strip mall in Finksburg, a half-hour drive from Baltimore, US, Myers specialises in tattooing nipples and areolas onto women who have undergone breast cancer surgery.
Using precisely mixed pigments, he creates a perfect three dimensional illusion of the real thing - and in doing so, enables women who have undergone mastectomies to feel fully like women once again.
"It's far more rewarding than anything else I have ever done," said Myers.
The 49-year-old has dedicated the last decade of his 28 years as a tattoo artist concentrating on post-op cosmetic tattoos.
Tattoos like the one in the photo are available to survivors who want to go beyond simulating the natural look of nipples.
