Tattoo Training
Discover the art and science of restorative tattooing with expert-led training that goes beyond the industry standard.
Transform Lives Through Areola Restorative Tattooing
Jeanine McTasney is an industry leader with decades of experience with nipple tattooing and other cosmetic tattoo treatments. She applies a variety of artistic techniques to create high-quality, long-lasting, and natural-looking results for patients.
What Is Restorative Tattooing?
Also known as paramedical tattooing, restorative tattooing is a specialized form of tattoo artistry that uses ink pigments to restore the appearance of damaged or compromised skin. Patients after breast reconstruction surgery, skin grafting, or other medical procedures who have scars, discoloration, and other damage can benefit from this transformative art. Restorative tattoos can also camouflage scars and fine-tune irregular scar tissue, creating a natural-looking and confidence-affirming result. A blend of art and science, paramedical tattooing is a solution that enhances physical appearance and emotional well-being.
Areola tattooing is a highly sought-after restorative tattoo service and one of the main focuses of our training. We impart the skills, techniques, and tools you need to create realistic, long-lasting 3D areola tattoos and replicate your results consistently. What sets us apart, however, is that we treat the entire mastectomy canvas, including scar camouflage. Our course teaches you about the patient journey, how tattooing radiated skin post-chemotherapy is different, techniques for approaching a male versus female canvas, and the powerful impact restorative tattoos can make.

Restorative Tattoo TrainingWhat Makes This Training Different?
This course was designed with care by Jeanine McTasney, who has decades of experience in the aesthetics industry. Through her extensive experience and long-time work with patients and physicians, she has identified gaps in the services available to patients today. She has developed creative solutions to improve those services and fill those gaps massively. Her objective is to provide patients across the nation with custom, 3D areola tattoos performed by thoroughly trained professionals in both hospital settings and private practices.
Jeanine wishes to move away from the one-size-fits-all medical inks and outmoded technical approaches to areola tattoos that have been prevalent in the field for over half a century. She believes every single patient deserves beautiful, highly customizable, realistic nipple tattoos that look natural, and she knows there are enough talented and compassionate individuals ready to meet the needs of the market. All they need are the tools and techniques she has been refining for over a decade.
Some of her innovations include stencils, the 10-Step Flip Chart, and temporary tattoos in every Fitzpatrick shade. These tools produce a streamlined, reliable process that tattoo artists and medical residents alike can use to create consistently stunning results for patients.

Words from our patients
“I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am to Jeanine for the life-changing work she did for me. As a breast cancer survivor who underwent a double mastectomy with implants, I’ve faced a long and emotional journey of healing. Jeanine helped me feel whole again by tattooing beautiful, 3D areolas onto my breasts—something I never thought I’d feel comfortable with again. The artistry and attention to detail she put into this is beyond words; they look absolutely natural and perfect.”
