Hello, I’m Amanda.
I like to think of myself as more than just a skin artist – I’m here to help people feel amazing about themselves. I specialize in restorative skin art like Areola Tattoos and Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP), and I’m all about using my passion for art to bring confidence back into people’s lives. Whether it’s helping someone feel whole again after breast surgery, or giving men and women the hairline they’ve been missing, I’m obsessed with the details. My work isn’t just about the ink; it’s about the smiles, the happy tears, and seeing my clients walk away feeling like the best version of themselves.
2020 – Entering the Tattoo Industry: In 2020, I transitioned into the world of permanent makeup. Driven by my love for art and a desire to make a difference in people’s lives, I trained extensively, completing various courses across the UK. Permanent makeup became my introduction to tattooing, where I honed my precision skills and began transforming lives through cosmetic tattoo artistry.
2021 – Growing My Expertise: As my skills in permanent makeup grew, so did my passion for combining art with purpose. In 2021, I descovered realism Areola Tattooing, a technique that allowed me to help individuals struggling with confidence. I quickly mastered this intricate process, using my artistic background to create realistic, natural-looking areola’s..
2022 – Founding North East Nipples: My deep desire to support people led me to establish North East Nipples Ltd, a not for profit company dedicated to raising funds to offer free Areola Tattooing and where I specialise in Areola tattoos for breast cancer reconstruction. This medical tattooing work became a cornerstone of my career, giving women a chance to feel whole again after breast surgery. This milestone marked a shift in my focus toward medical tattooing, which I now consider my true calling.
Today: Now a medical tattoo artist and director of North East Nipples, I combine my creativity and technical skills to offer life-changing treatments. My passion for realism, attention to detail, and dedication to helping others shine through in every piece of work I complete, whether it’s an Areola tattoo, scalp pigmentation, Realism Toe Nail Tattoo or a cosmetic enhancement.

From a young age, I was captivated by art, particularly realism. Specialising in charcoal portraits, I developed a keen eye for detail and an innate ability to bring my subjects to life. My fascination with shapes, shadows, and the nuances of the human form laid the foundation for my career in skin artistry.
I enjoy various creative outlets such as painting and drawing. In the past, I have donated some of my pieces to the North East Nipple Project to be auctioned, in order to raise money for the project.
