We’re gearing up for Camp Breastie and looking back on a few of our favorite moments from the past few years. 🏔️🏔️

This community is unlike any other, and we’re so honored to return to camp this year to provide restorative tattoos for the Breastie community once again.

Will we see you there? ✨

However you say it, ni**le restorative tattooing can be an incredibly meaningful part of healing after breast cancer or prophylactic mastectomy.

Okay now be honest… which team are you? 👀

These are fully healed 3D ar**la tattoos on a breast cancer survivor who underwent:
• double mastectomy
• breast reconstruction
• ni**le reconstruction

The tattooing restored natural ar**la color, softened the appearance of surgical scarring, and added depth + dimension back to the reconstructed ni**le buds.

One thing people don’t realize: reconstructed ni**les often heal with very little pigment. Thoughtful paramedical tattooing can recreate contrast, warmth, texture, and visual shape in a way that looks incredibly natural once healed.

And in some cases, tattooing can also camouflage scars from reconstruction by blending tone variations and redirecting the eye away from scar lines.

Breast reconstruction is more layered than people realize — and the “after” deserves to be talked about more openly.

Your mind is your most powerful tool in survivorship.

And it’s working 24/7… whether you’re directing it or not.

Crystal isn’t here to hand you a checklist or tell you to “stay positive.” She’s here to actually sit with you, learn what makes you tick, and help you get out of your own way so you can thrive — not just survive.

There’s a version of survivorship that doesn’t get talked about enough…

The part where cancer becomes intertwined with your identity.
Where the support groups, the fear, the routines, the relationships, the survival mode…
start to feel inseparable from who you are.

Sometimes that bond becomes healing.
And sometimes it keeps us frozen.

This conversation is nuanced, emotional, and deeply personal—and we wanted to explore both sides.

Have you ever struggled with figuring out who you are after cancer?

To every woman for whom Mother’s Day carries a little more weight this year… This one is for you.

For the woman who is missing her mom today. The one who fought so hard, who maybe didn’t get enough time, who left a shape in your life that nothing else fills. Her absence on a day like today is its own kind of grief, and you don’t have to pretend otherwise.

For the woman whose breast cancer treatment quietly closed the door on a future she had already started to imagine. The babies she pictured. The mother she was going to become.

That loss doesn’t have a greeting card. It doesn’t always have words. But it is real, and it deserves to be honored.

For the woman who woke up today feeling something she can’t quite name… tender, heavy, hollow, grateful, angry, or all of it layered together at once.

However you move through today, whether you celebrate, grieve, rest, or simply survive it, we see you.

— With love, from Perky

Surviving cancer is one thing. Learning how to thrive after it is another.

Survivorship is new territory... and for so many women, it comes with intrusive thoughts, relationship changes, emotional weight, and a version of themselves they don't fully recognize yet.

Ni**le tattooing and scar camouflage can bring restoration and closure, but we've always known it isn't the whole picture.

That's why we're so proud to introduce nurse coaching at Perky.

A tattoo that helps survivors feel whole again, but we can’t show it because... community guidelines 😩🙃

After everything she’s been through, this beautiful survivor traveled to us for 3D ni**le restoration — a final step in reclaiming a piece of herself after breast cancer and reconstruction. These fresh tattoo results are designed to restore natural dimension, symmetry, and confidence using specialized paramedical tattooing techniques.

She’ll return for her perfected touch-up session at her convenience once healing is complete.

We’re honored to be part of stories like hers and grateful to work alongside incredible reconstructive surgeons like Dr. Ledoux at 🫶

Fun fact: Crystal and Courtney met in nursing school. And if you had told them back then they’d one day own a small business together, let alone one with a b**b as the logo… they probably would’ve thought that was crazy!

But life has a way of leading you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Through years of caring for women navigating breast cancer, they saw the need for something more—a space centered on the whole woman, not just the diagnosis.

That vision became Perky.

This Nurses Week, we’re celebrating our founders, Crystal and Courtney, the heart behind it all. ❤️

The breast is rebuilt. The journey is almost over. But until you see the ni**le, it doesn’t fully feel like yours yet.

Swipe through to hear directly from Dr. Whipple on:
→ Why this step matters more than most women expect
→ When ni**le reconstruction happens in your journey
→ The difference between a projected ni**le and 3D tattooing → Why nearly 90% of her patients choose the tattoo-only route

And when you’re ready to see what’s possible… that’s where we come in. Every tattoo is custom. Every ar**la is designed around your anatomy, your skin tone, your story.
