From the first contact Lucy was warm, encouraging and answered my (many) questions about the process and what to expect. As a Black woman I was particularly concerned about getting a tattoo that matched my skin tone but was reassured that she had expertise in a range of skin tones and cancer treatments. My skin was quite delicate due to radiotherapy so the initial consultation was very in-depth and Lucy and the trainee Kirsty C were mindful of any skin reaction during the initial session. My trainee Kirsty was clearly a skilled and talented tattooist who did an amazing job. I was nervous about how much input Lucy would have in the training session but she was v hands on, providing advice, guidance and reassurance to us both. The tattoo looked amazing after the first session and healed really well and the second session added details which have made it look really life-like.

Wow!! I am ten years post double mastectomy. I decided that after ten years of denial that I did want my nipples tattooing. I saw my surgeon who said she could do it BUT she knew someone way better. She showed me her work in comparison and gave me Lucy's details. The communication was exceptional and I chose to be a model to help other artists, all under Lucy's guidance. I was nervous but was soon put at ease by her professional and calm nature, as well as that of the tattoo artist I was modelling for. I was talked through every detail, every step and it was the easiest appointment ever. I was involved every step of the way and I can not beleive the results. They were way beyond my expectations. I was speechless and emotional with the results and I cannot thank them both enough. To model and help others has been a privilege and I can not recommend them enough!!

I went to nipple innovation as a model and was greeted by Lucy who is a beautiful person and very talented. I had breast cancer and with the help of Lucy and Kirsty this amazing areola was created. It has been the best experience. I have so much more confidence now in myself I an so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you Lucy and Kirsty

Following a mastectomy 9 years ago I was left with no nipple until I had a reconstruction last year. The final piece was to get it tattooed. I had seen Lucy’s work previously and noticed she was requiring a model. I jumped at the chance. Throughout each stage Lucy put me at ease and the process was very smooth. Two sessions with very little discomfort during or afterwards. The students were very considerate and I felt totally at ease. The results are absolutely amazing and the tattoo is so realistic. I can’t thank Lucy enough and I finally feel normal again 😀
