Become a NiP Artist

Are you a Heart Centred Artist?

Do you have 3 years experience machine tattooing?
Are you compassionate and dedicated to making a true difference?
Do you have artistic skill and experience with scar tissue?

The Nipple Innovation Project is a unique registered charity dedicated to empowering breast cancer survivors through permanent, healing 3D Nipple tattoos.

NiP’s goal is to have a verified artist in each major city throughout the UK. This would ensure breast cancer survivors have easy access to this service wherever they are in the country.

The foundations of our charity mean that each Verified Artist will have to be trained to the same standard. This means each artist works to the same consistent standard and are producing the same life changing long lasting results.

Our founder Lucy has developed a training programme for aspiring Areola Tattoo artists who want to work to this standard. If you are providing areola tattoos, we welcome you to apply. You still have the option to join after an assessment without taking training with us.

We offer a trial period option where we set you attainable tasks to complete over a period of time. This gives you the opportunity to learn our ways and work with us whilst we support you to reach your areola tattooing goals.

Want to fundraise for us?

Flash4Nip is our newest fundraising campaign launched in 2024. We're asking Tattoo Studios to run a charity flash day and donate proceeds to The Nipple Innovation Project (NIP). Be a part of it and sign up today - find all details over here!

Being a part of the Nipple Innovation Project and being able to offer free 3D nipple tattoos, we do ask for your support in fundraising. We constantly need to be raising awareness of this specialist work and we do that by fundraising and doing the good work we do.

To become a Verified artist it is expected of you to hold and host a fundraiser in your area to support raising awareness and funding of our charity that runs solely through the generosity of the donations, trustees, artists and members. Our volunteer team will of course support you with any fundraising help you may need.

We don’t believe money should be a factor when considering this specialist work as a breast cancer survivor.

Without our artists we could not carry out this service, we understand and appreciate how challenging this work is and believe that our artists should get paid for their dedication, skill and compassion too. Our charity is supported by Wholesale Body Jewellery, who kindly supply our Verified artists with tattooing essentials for carrying out NiP treatments.

Since being established in March 2018 NiP has grown so much in a short time, including gaining full charity registration. We appreciate everyone who offers to help or wishes to be involved with the charity and fully support anyone who would like to join our cause.

If you are interested, or would like further information, please feel free to register your interest and we will be more than happy to help!
