hello everyone. Im thinking of having 3d nipple tattoos done and im wondering if there are any ladies on here that have had them done that had to have lymph nodes removed and how did that side heal. And did your arm swell for awhile??

I hope everyone is have a good day kicking cancer's mean ass!!

    Hi! I had 2 positive nodes. I just had my nipple tattoos done a week ago. Vinnie Meyers did them and they look fabulous! Unbelievably realistic. They are completely healed now. Best decision Ive evermade!

    Krose53- did you have all your lymph mode removed on the positive side? And if so did you notice any increased swelling on that side after your tattoos?? I've gotten other tattoos and know the areas swell.

    Thanks!!

    @Krose53- Hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread! I just sent all my info to Vinnie Myers for the email consultation. How long did you have to wait for your appt when you called? And can you give me any other info on the experience and process? TIA

    Krose53 - I went to Vinnie Myers back in 2014. He is amazing!!

    Flag6818 - He is really booked and travels. I waited a few months to see him. I don't remember the process, as this was a long time ago. My insurance refused to pay for it. Tried to fight it. But in the end, it didn't matter.

    Ipenelope - I didn't have any lymph nodes removed - but to answer you about 3D tattoos - Do it, you won't regret it!!


    I went to see my plastic surgeon last week about swapping out my implants to something else. He took one look at my breasts and said "oh, these are really nice looking tattoos. Did I do them?" I was beaming with joy and politely said no, Vinnie Myers did them. He knew exactly who I was talking about.

    The 3D tattoos are perfect and really look like the real deal.

    Happy healing everyone!!

    Hi Everyone, I actually had breast cancer on both sides ILC on the left and IDC on the right. I had a Sentinel node biopsy on both sides. I had no problem or swelling on either side ever. I've never had any sign of lymph edema. Knock on wood. So I think I booked my appt about 2 months in advance. Flew from California to Maryland. We have friends in Maryland and was hoping to make it a little vacation. He thought my right breast had dropped and I should have it fixed. Saw my PS and we decided against another major surgery. So, Vinny gave me first priority to book in San Diego, only a 75 minute flight from my home. He was there in Mid August. So everything turned out great!!

    Krose53 - Wow that is great! That was some trip from CA to MD. Glad he was able to accommodate you. When I saw him, he asked me what size and color, I said bubble gum pink. Obviously I didn't get that LOL.
