Arizona Artist Launches Specialized 3D Areola Tattoo Services For Breast Cancer Survivors And Top Surgery Patients
Hernandez's private studio in Gilbert, Arizona, has quickly become one of the region's most trusted destinations for mastectomy tattoos, nipple tattooing after cancer, and gender-affirming chest tattooing. Drawing from years of experience working with scar tissue, skin grafts, and post-surgical anatomy, she offers clients ultra-realistic nipple and areola tattooing designed to restore symmetry, depth, and confidence.
“For many clients, this is the final step in their healing journey,” says Hernandez.“Whether they've undergone a double mastectomy, lumpectomy, or top surgery, people come to me wanting to feel complete again. It's an honor to help them see themselves in the mirror with confidence and closure.”
3D areola tattooing-also known as nipple-areola complex restoration-is a highly specialized form of micropigmentation that uses custom pigments, shading, and depth techniques to create the illusion of a raised, natural nipple. Hernandez tailors every design to the individual, taking into account skin tone, scar patterns, body shape, and personal preference. Her approach blends artistry with medical precision, allowing clients to choose their ideal size, shape, and color while achieving realistic, natural results.
Hernandez works with a wide range of clients including:
Breast cancer survivors post-mastectomy or reconstruction
Trans masculine clients after top surgery
Individuals with pigment loss from trauma, burns, or congenital differences
Clients seeking cosmetic areola enhancements
Beyond aesthetics, Hernandez's work emphasizes emotional recovery. Many clients describe the experience as the final, empowering chapter after years of surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, or gender-affirming procedures. Her warm studio environment, one-on-one consultations, and personalized care help clients feel seen, safe, and respected throughout the process.
“Restorative tattooing is deeply personal,” Hernandez adds.“It's about giving people back something they lost-something that helps them feel whole. The transformation goes far beyond skin.”
Each appointment includes a detailed consultation, custom pigment matching, design previews, and full aftercare guidance. Most clients heal within 7–10 days, and many report the procedure is far less painful than expected, especially for those with reduced sensation following surgery. Hernandez uses medical-grade pigments, single-use needles, and follows strict sterilization protocols to ensure safety and comfort.
In addition to serving local clients from Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, and Phoenix, Hernandez regularly works with individuals traveling from out of state for her specialized services. Her new website, JaydHernandez, provides educational resources, FAQs, gallery examples of before-and-after results, and scheduling for consultations. The site was created to help clients better understand the tattooing process and feel prepared before their appointment.
As awareness of paramedical tattooing continues to grow, Hernandez hopes to expand outreach to hospitals, oncology groups, and LGBTQ+ support organizations across Arizona to ensure survivors and top surgery patients know restorative tattooing is an available option.
“I want people to know they have choices,” says Hernandez.“No matter their journey, they deserve to feel confident in their bodies again.”
