Tanya’s Story
Tanya began her professional journey as a traditional tattoo artist in 2009, honing her craft across various studios and conventions worldwide. By 2015, she expanded her expertise into Cosmetic and Medical Tattooing, offering specialised treatments for brows, eyeliner, lips, scalp, areola restoration, and scar camouflage.
In 2024, Tanya launched a pioneering partnership between the NHS, at Kingston Hospital in London where Tanya offers cancer patients 3D realistic areola-nipple tattoos after their mastectomy surgery and breast reconstruction following breast cancer or BRCA diagnosis. This collaboration marks a significant milestone as it is the first time the NHS has ever enlisted a traditional tattoo artist to provide areola tattoos for their patients.
Tanya’s incredible medical tattoo offering also extends into private healthcare. Tanya works with Nuffield Healthcare, providing Areola tattoo clinics at the Nuffield Cardiff Vale hospital. As the first tattoo artist to be working within the Nuffield offering Areola and Medical Tattooing, she is very proud to be representing the tattoo industry at this prestigious facility.
