As If We Needed Another Boob Story Out Of England: Nipple Tattoos On The Rise

It started with brow definition. Coleen Rooney and her troops arched over the masses with their Scouse brows, taking The Duchess of Cambridge along with them for the ride.

But now the Liverpudlian glamazons have taken grooming one step further by darkening and defining their nipples - with tattoos.

This new trend of semi-permanent nipple tattooing has swept Liverpool by storm and has already reached the vajazzled land of Essex.

Nipple tattooing, or ‘tittooing’ as it is nicknamed, is a process which originated as a medical procedure for breast reconstruction. Now, it serves as a cosmetic procedure for women to darken, enlarge and define their nipples and the surrounding areola. The semi-permanent treatment gives them their 'perfect nipples' and can last a life-time with regular top-ups.

What an awful place to stick with a needle. I can understand fixing up a reconstruction, but wow this seems barbaric. Ow.
