Anybody willing to share whether they chose to have nipple reconstruction or 3-d nipple and areola tattoos. I am leaning toward the 3-d tattoos, because I don't see any point in having surgery to build a nipple that has no purpose and that I can't feel. The 3-d tattoos look amazing and you never have to "nip out". I'm looking forward to not wearing a bra since my boobs do not move at all! If you did go for the 3-d tattoos, can you share who did yours and if they are covered by insurance? Thanks!

Puakai,

Do not have any specific info on nipple reconstruction or 3-D nipple and areola tattoos
BUT did find a thread posted by Donna related to 3-D tattos at:
