Meet The Nipple Fairy

Christina Siegel

I'm Christina Siegel, RN, BSN, also known as The Nipple Fairy®️. I opened Living Story Tattoo in 2015, specializing in restorative breast tattooing. During my nursing career in a plastic surgery breast reconstruction office, I witnessed firsthand how vital nipple tattoos are for patients who have lost their breasts and nipples. I am incredibly passionate about helping individuals who have undergone mastectomies feel whole again, which inspired me to create an areola ink set for other artists who share this mission.

I developed a collection of my essential colors and mixtures, ranging from Fitzpatrick skin types 1 to 6, which I absolutely love. It was a true honor to create these inks alongside Mario Barth, who personally hand-mixed them during the development process.

Tips & Tricks

There is always a learning curve with any new set of inks.

  • The best matching will take place in a natural light source.
  • Shake the bottles well.
  • Please dilute with Intenze color mixing solution and tattoo very conservatively as these inks deliver high saturation in the skin. (You can always make something bigger or darker on the 2nd session.)
  • When the inks are diluted, they will likely separate in the cup, so please be diligent that they stay mixed well during the tattoo process for even color distribution.
  • DO YOUR INK DRAWDOWNS. I feel this is important to see the value of each color as you can't go by the appearance in the bottle. If you mix or modify a color, do a quick drawdown before proceeding to put it in your client's skin. You cannot check ink from looking at the bottom of the bottle.
  • Do not mix REACH compliant inks with any other inks. Mix only with ProNouveau or GenZ by Intenze.
