Fine Line Feature: Eric Eye Tattoo
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of tattoos?
Perhaps it's someone getting a piece of art inked on their body to symbolize something special or maybe it’s a line of script to pay tribute to an event or style.
Tattoos are typically an artistic expression and art for the body solely for aesthetic purposes but did you know that they can be utilized to restore the body cosmetically as well?
Eric Eye is an extraordinary tattoo artist and has been blessing clients with his talent since 1990. He is known for his nipple and areola reproduction for breast cancer patients as well as within the trans community for those who have undergone top surgery.
He is able to create customized 3-Dimensional replicas of the nipple and areola complete with precision shape, texture and tone and the results are absolutely astounding. View his portfolio here.
Eric started working in this specialized field when he found out what a profound impact it made on people. Eric states, "My significant other went through a double prophylactic mastectomy with reconstruction shortly before we met. Knowing that she had traveled across the country to get this quality of naturally realistic tattoo work seemed like one more unnecessary hurdle for her. Having seen firsthand what a huge difference it made for her, I decided to specialize in this here in Seattle."
He is known in the medical industry for providing exceptional work as stated by Swedish Cancer Institute breast surgeon, Dr. Sannon Tierney. “I’m a breast surgeon at Swedish Cancer Institute, and I was enormously impressed by the quality of Eric Eye’s 3D nipple tattooing for a post-mastectomy patient of my colleague’s.”
He makes it easy for clients to inquire by offering consultations by phone, email or in person and he offers appointments exclusively right here at Fine Line Seattle!
