If you are going through gender reassignment it will have been a long journey.

Surgery may have left visible scarring and you may feel that some extra touches will enhance your looks and enable you to feel confident and attractive in your new gender.

With the accessibility of surgery and medication, medical tattooing can now aid the process of gender reassignment by mimicking the natural feminine or masculine contours of the body.

The main areas of the body that medical tattooing can help enhance the body for gender reassignment patients are:

Penis: After a phalloplasty the penis can look white without veins, glands, colour and shadows. These can be applied naturally with pigment over a number of treatments (usually between 3 – 4) over a period of 6 months. At the same time, any scarring can be camouflaged into the surrounding skin.

Nipple/Areola: Scarring can be camouflaged and the colour of the areola changed to look more feminine or masculine.

Pre-Treatment

For your comfort, refrain from alcohol or caffeine in the 24 hours pre-treatment.

If you are having medical tattooing on your face, please arrive without makeup on, or arrive early and remove your makeup 20 minutes before your treatment time. This gives your skin time to calm down and return to its normal colouring.

If you have had even ONE COLD SORE in the past, and are having a lip treatment or the area of concern goes onto or close to your lip, use an anti-herpes medication 5 x daily before your treatment and for 5 days afterwards. This will help prevent a breakout which could cause you discomfort and scarring. You will need to obtain this from a chemist or your doctor.

Please arrive for your appointment at least 10 minutes early to fill in any clinic forms, use the bathroom and get yourself settled. Rae will come to the waiting room/reception at your appointment time.

Consultation

A consultation is essential to determine a full medical history, patient expectations, suitability of treatment and a personalised treatment plan. For your safety as well as your practitioners preparation, a consultation is a requirement to determine the best course of action.

Treatment

You will be taken to the treatment room for initial photographs. Before any treatment begins, the area to be tattooed is cleaned. If required, a topical anaesethic will be applied and the pigments will then be mixed. Once the anaesethic has worked, any drawing on of features or shapes will happen. You will have time to discuss, modify, work out the most suitable shape, size and placement for you. Once this is all agreed, the tattooing will start. It is not a particularly painful treatment but more anaesethic can be applied during the treatment if needed.

The colour will be up to 50% darker immediately post treatment. Do not panic. After 4-7 days it will lose colour, and may seem to have disappeared as it is obscured by the healing layers of skin. The true healed colour will come through approximately 4 weeks after the initial treatment. The results are varied for each individual from minimally noticeable pigment after the first treatment, to nearly completely camouflaged.

Medical Tattooing can last between one to five years before a Colour Boost may be needed.
