Award Winning Lucy Thompson

Lucy travelled to Texas in 2017 to achieve a UK first and become the UKs first A.R.T 3D nipple tattoo certified tattoo artist, meaning she could offer permanent, realistic 3D nipple tattoos that give the illusion of a nipple protrusion on a flat surface, following mastectomy and breast reconstructive surgery after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Lucy Thompson uses her artistic skills and experience in traditional tattooing and body art to recreate realistic nipples for women who have been through multiple surgeries and are looking for the final piece to their puzzle or the cherry on the cake as its often referred to.
Lucy travelled to Belfast to attend the Titanic International Tattoo Convention in 20119 with her charity the Nipple Innovation Project.
She said: “I’m proud to say I won first place for Most Realistic Tattoo with a very brave client who was a breast cancer survivor.
“I entered realistic 3D bilateral ART nipple tattoos, which have never been done before, not only in the UK but further afield. I was up against many internationally-known, pro-team artists from all around the world. Lucy's brave client consented to showing her tattoos after she felt elated at seeing the results, she presented them privately to a panel of judges and won first place! Award winning nipples - that’s not something you hear every day!!
