Please keep in mind that these photos are taken immediately after tatttooing. Therefore the tattooed side is going to appear darker and redder than it will when it is fully healed.
Every effort is made to match color and tone to the existing side. The original nipple will change color and size in different circumstances, so a completely accurate match is not possible. If you or I have any uncertainty as to what color we should use - I will always choose to err on the side of caution and go lighter or smaller. These can be corrected much easier later on than too dark or too large can be.
This one below had been done a few years prior to this photograph (finally a healed photo!)
The following two pictures are "before and after" of a new procedurre that Dr. Langstein is doing called "Nipple Sharing". A portion of the healthy nipple is surgically transferred to the reconstruction site. After healing the tattooing was performed.
