Nipple Tattoo Request

South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust did not have the information requested.

Dear South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust,

I’m looking for information about Nipple and Areola Complex tattoos that are offered to breast cancer patients following mastectomy surgery.

The specific information I’m looking for is as follows;

1. What training requirements will a potential practitioner have to endure
before they are considered qualified and capable of providing Nipple or areola tattoos for patients who have lost their Nipple or Areola Complex
(NAC).

2. What is the individual cost to the NHS per unilateral nipple Tattoo.

3. What is the individual cost to the NHS per bilateral nipple Tattoos.

5. How many nipple tattoos were performed in total in 2019 and In 2020.

I’ll look forward to hearing from someone about my request!

Best wishes

Yours faithfully,

Lucy Thompson
