hi there !

i am close ( couple month ) to start day's of after cancer ( after surgery ) tattoos for areola tattoos at the hospital i work in ( i'm a nurse, and part time tattoo artist ) with the plastic surgeons i work with.....

here is the project : women that had breast cancer are strugeling with surgery, illness, chemo, radiation, for to long....they often have had to quit there job or go onto heatl insurance........welll, they are not alway's able to pay couple hundred dollars for that final stage that is : coloring a surgical areola and nipple, or tattoing an areola onto reconstructed breast......

the little program we are trying to develop is going to get them tattoed by me, in the hospital directly and for a total of zero dollars : money for ink and supply will be donated by breat implant firms......surgeon present to supervise the procedure will be paid by state, and i will be paid by hospital ( my hourly rate as a nurse) and i will bring my own machines......

Big BIG question is : what ink to get ? i dont have any knowledge about cosmetic ink, medical ink, given that intenz or eternal do not have enought skin tones to work with.......

what brand do you recommend, where to get it ( has to be in north america, canada or US. )

if i get permanent makeup ink, is it going to fade away in a couple off years ? or is it as good as tattoo ink ?

thanks for helping me on that one guys
