Adding Hyper-realistic Details After Surgery.

What is phalloplasty?

What is a Phalloplasty Tattoo?

Phalloplasty tattooing following FTM or FTX bottom surgery is a specialized gender affirmation tattooing technique designed to enhance realism of the penis after bottom surgery. This form of tattooing adds realistic details such as veins, freckles, and natural skin tones, creating a more lifelike result that aligns with your body and identity.

​

Many trans men and nonbinary individuals seek this service to refine the final esthetic of their surgical results. While transgender female to male bottom surgery provides function and structure, FTM phallo tattooing helps integrate the reconstructed skin with the surrounding area, making it look and feel more natural.

What Can be Achieved with Phalloplasty Tattooing?

​

colour matching:

Specialized pigments are blended to match your natural skin tone and subtle variations are added.

​

Vein and Texture Designs:

Custom vein patterns are created and textured shading work is done to replicate depth and mimic natural anatomy.

​​

3D Effects:

Techniques such as shading and highlighting are used to add dimension - making the phallus look natural.

​

Glans Definition:

Focus is put on the glans or urethral opening to create a life-like appearance to the area.

Why Consider Phalloplasty Tattooing?

  1. To restore a natural esthetic after your surgery

  2. To blend grafted skin with surrounding areas (FTM scar tattoo)

  3. To enhance your confidence in both appearance and intimacy

  4. Phalloplasty tattoos are non-invasive, customizable, and long-lasting

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY PHALLOPLASTY TATTOO?

Preparing for a phalloplasty medical tattoo involves consideration to ensure the best possible outcome and long-lasting results. Here are certain considerations to guide you through the preparation process:

​

1. Timing After Surgery

The surgical site must be completely healed; it will take some time before beginning your tattooing process. This period typically is 6-12 months after your surgery, allowing your scars to properly heal and mature. You may get your FTM tattoo after fully healing from your initial surgery of creating the phallus (stage 1) or after the connection of the neo-urethra (stage 2). You may also wait until all stages of the surgical process are completed, namely the addition of erectile and testicular implants (stage 3) if you choose to get this procedure done.

​

2. Hair Removal

Before beginning your tattooing process, it is important that the area no longer has hair. Hair removal by electrolysis or laser therapy is essential before starting to introduce ink to the site.

​

3. Multiple Step Process and Healing

Phalloplasty medical tattooing services are done over multiple sessions (normally 2-3) to ensure of proper pigment retention on scar tissue and to build layers of colour and texture to the phallus. Each session must be spaced a minimum of 6-8 weeks apart, to ensure complete regeneration of the skin before continuing the tattooing process. Healing takes time, and proper aftercare is essential for long-lasting results. Detailed instructions will be provided to ensure you heal well while preserving pigment vibrancy.

With each session, with your approval, we will continue to add colour, add texture and vein designs to create a 3D hyper-realistic aspect to your phallus. It is my top goal that you have a positive experience during this process.

Frequenty asked questions

How soon after phalloplasty can I get tattooed?

It’s generally recommended to wait at least 6–12 months after surgery before tattooing. This allows for full healing and scar maturation. A consultation can help determine if your skin is ready for tattooing.

Does phalloplasty tattooing hurt?

Pain levels vary from person to person. Some areas may be more sensitive than others. Numbing options can be discussed to ensure a comfortable experience.

How long does the tattooing process take?

Sessions typically last 2–4 hours, depending on the level of detail required. Multiple sessions are normally needed to achieve the best results.

Will the tattoo look natural?

Yes! Advanced techniques like colour matching, shading, and vein detailing are used to create a natural appearance. The goal is to achieve seamless blending with your skin tone.

How long do the results last?

Phalloplasty tattoos are long-lasting but may fade over time due to skin regeneration. Touch-ups may be needed every few years to maintain the best results.

Can scars be tattooed over?

Yes, but scar tissue reacts differently to tattooing. It’s important to assess the texture and maturity of the scars before starting the process. A consultation will help determine the best approach.

Can tattooing improve skin texture?

Tattooing is primarily a colour-based solution, but in some cases, the process may help soften the appearance of scars. However, it does not replace medical scar treatments or resurfacing procedures.

Can I get phalloplasty tattooing if I have had multiple surgeries or skin grafts?

Yes, but each case is unique. Skin grafts and multiple surgeries may affect how the skin retains pigment. A consultation is necessary to assess the area and discuss realistic expectations.

What should I do to prepare for my appointment?

To ensure the best results:

  • Keep the area moisturized leading up to your session.

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning.

  • Stay hydrated and get a good night’s sleep.

  • Avoid alcohol and blood thinners (like aspirin) 24 hours before your appointment.

What is the aftercare for phalloplasty tattooing?

Aftercare is crucial for proper healing. You’ll receive detailed instructions, but key steps include:

  • Keeping the area clean and moisturized.

  • Avoiding friction, swimming, and excessive sweating for a few weeks.

  • Protecting the tattoo from sun exposure to prevent fading.

Will I need more than one session?

In many cases, multiple sessions are recommended to achieve the best results, especially for layering colours, refining details, or correcting scars. Each client’s needs are different, and a personalized plan will be discussed during the consultation.

Can I combine phalloplasty tattooing with 3D nipple tattooing?

Yes! Many clients choose to have both procedures done to complete their gender affirmation journey. Sessions can be scheduled separately or combined, depending on healing time and personal preference.

How much does phalloplasty tattooing cost?

Pricing varies based on the complexity of the tattoo and the number of sessions needed. A consultation will provide a personalized quote.

Is phalloplasty tattooing safe?

Yes! When performed by an experienced professional using sterile equipment and high-quality pigments, the procedure is safe and minimally invasive. A gentle approach is crucial to not cause any additional scarring to the area. Following proper aftercare minimizes any risks.
