Created With Understanding

Every woman's breast cancer journey is different. Some clients are ready for this step soon after reconstruction, while others come years later. No matter where you are in the process, Canvas of Courage offers care that is patient, respectful, and centered around you.

Michelle's own experience with breast cancer, mastectomy, reconstruction, and 3D areola tattooing gives her a personal understanding of how emotional and meaningful this decision can be.

Natural-Looking, Personalized Results

Each 3D areola tattoo is thoughtfully designed to complement your body, skin tone, reconstruction results, and personal preferences.

Michelle customizes the color, shape, size, placement, and detail of each tattoo with the goal of creating a soft, balanced, and natural-looking result.
