The short answer to this question is yes, you can get a tattoo. That being said, the color of the tattoo doesn't always take well on a scar and may need a few touch-ups spaced over several weeks to months. A nipple may not be reconstructed because of the thin skin, but a 3-D tattoo may be very helpful and can give you nice symmetry. Overall, despite the failed attempt with the abdominal flap reconstruction, it looks like you ended up with a very nice result. The addition of a nipple tattoo will make the result look even better. Good luck!
