Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics

After having early stage breast cancer, getting a double mastectomy and reconstruction, I didn’t think that I cared about getting nipple tattoos. However, after about a year, I decided to do it. I can’t believe how much of a difference it has made for me. I feel like I’ve been put back together and am finally whole again. Anna did an incredible job walking me through the process and making the tattoos look real, even one of my doctor’s couldn’t tell they were tattoos at first. She is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.

She was recommended to me by my plastic surgeon who did my reconstruction surgery after my double mastectomy. I made an appointment with her over the phone and paid the $200 deposit. Today I arrived and rang the doorbell, and she greeted me by my name at the door! She welcomed me in and made me feel so comfortable as she gave me the paperwork to sign. I did so and then she took before pictures, asked questions about what color they used to be and about the way they looked, then she answered all my questions, drew circles on me with orange marker and I was cold so she put a space heater in front of me to warm me up, I then laid down on the chair and she did stuff with plastic and then started coloring with the tattoo gun. It didn’t hurt, as I still don’t have much sensation there anym

Anna did a fantastic job on my 3D areola tattoos and scar camoflauge. After having a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction, these tattoos have made me feel like myself again. After 2 failed tattoo sessions with another place, I was not even sure if my skin would even hold ink and had lost hope. Thankfully, I gave it one more try after seeing Anna's work in a book from at my surgical oncologist. I wish I had been referred here first! She is amazing to work with, and I am truly satisfied beyond my wildest dreams with the results. She is a very talented artist!

Anna is amazing! She did an areole / nipple tattoo for me as part of my reconstruction after a mastectomy . I am totally satisfied and would recommend her work to anyone. She is a perfectionist and very detailed. She comes to Knoxville from Atlanta and was recommended by both my breast surgeon and plastic surgeon.

Anna Burns is gifted. If you need 3d areola tattoos, look no further!! You absolutely cannot tell the difference between real nipples and her 3d areola tattoos. Not even one bit!!! It defies comprehension. There is a reason that plastic surgeons recommend her. She's the very best at what she does!!
