About Lucy Thompson
Lucy Thompson BCAh is a medical and traditional tattoo artist. She learned advanced 3D areola tattooing in 2017, and founded the Nipple Innovation Project (NiP) in 2018. Since then, she volunteers to run NiP, making realistic, gold-standard and safe 3D nipple tattoos accessible to people after mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.
Lucy is a TedX speaker, and is proudly the first tattoo artist in the UK to partner with an NHS trust to receive NHS funding for areola tattoos. She is also the first tattoo artist to receive a British Citizen Award for contributions to healthcare. Lucy continues to challenge stigma, influence standards and empower people to feel confident in their bodies.
