Restorative Tattooing

I could not be more pleased! The office is very calming and very clean and uncluttered. Sasha Ignarski is just the best. She is very supportive and caring. She listened to my preferences and answered all my questions. She made suggestions on color and darkness when I was uncertain. I just don’t have the words to express how much I loved her and how the whole process was such a wonderful experience. The tattoos are perfect! They look so real it is unbelievable. I feel like I am now through with the cancer part of my life and am on day 1 of the rest of my life with a whole new focus.

Marie Sena is wonderful—a kind, intelligent, witty, professional, talented artist. I highly recommend Marie and Restorative Tattooing!!

Marie was absolutely amazing. She cared so much about how I was feeling after the mastectomy and reconstruction process. Her goal was to help me feel like a whole person again. She was so careful to explain everything, encouraged my questions and answered any I had. She took her time with helping me describe and select what I wanted the tattoo's to look like. She truly cared about my comfort through the process and allowed me to review each step. The result is beautiful, so realistic. I can't accurately describe how wonderful a feeling it was when she first showed me the finished tattoos. The result is so far above any expectations I had.

I’m African American and tattooing our skin I think is challenging. Our skin is in different shades. Marie listened to what I wanted and the results are fantastic. Thank you so much 😊

I love her art but service is for a specific group-medical.

Marie is amazing!!! Recommend highly!

Marie is amazing ! She made me look whole again. I am a breast cancer survivor ! The areola tattoo looks so real you can not tell the difference from my natural breast. Marie also did a tattoo , of a butterfly for me. This butterfly represents my breast cancer journey along with my favorite color and my sister's favorite color (who passed in 2012) , her daughter's favorite color , my daughter's favorite color and my Mom's favorite color. Marie was able to capture what I was feeling in this tattoo!

Just wanted to say how great Marie is and how much I appreciate her and her work. Like everyone after going through breast cancer and a double masectomy, I was ready to complete my journey and feel “normal” again. I chose to have nipple tattooing as my final step. My plastic surgeon referred me to Marie and I am so glad he did. She is amazing! She makes you feel super comfortable in a totally uncomfortable situation. She was very engaging and very knowledgeable in her profession. She is super efficient and I was in and out in an hour with amazing results. I am so satisfied with her work and am so thankful to her for making me feel so happy with myself when I look in the mirror! She is truly blessed with a special gift that she shares with those that need her. I hope that anyone awaiting to end their breast cancer journey ends it through Marie’s magical hands! God bless her and the amazing work she does for others!

My experience with Marie was life transforming. Her artistry transformed the way I view my body. As a breast cancer survivor, I had a less than ideal tattoo that didn't approximate a natural look on my reconstructed breast. For years, I was hesitant to make changes , thinking that was just the way it was supposed to be. Marie's incredible artistry and kindness was featured on the local news channel. I made an appointment after overcoming fears, and what she gave me back was my self-esteem and confidence with her art. I was so happy, I decided to do a separate tattoo to cover the large scar across my stomach left after surgery to harvest the donor tissue. It is now a beautiful delicate art piece that I am proud to display.

I have no idea how to sum up, in just a few sentences, how Marie Sena has changed my life. She was the bright white light at the end of my very dark tunnel & battle with breast cancer. In addition to being one of the most talented medical tattoo artists out there, and trust me, I did my research, Marie is a kind, caring & compassionate person who truly believes in her work and truly cares about you as a person and individual. She is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and I am so lucky and blessed to have found her. I will always be so grateful for you Marie!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I will always fight like a girl & look fabulous doing it thanks to you and your talents!! <3 <3 <3

Marie was wonderful. Marie provided tattooing as part of my reconstruction after breast surgery. She made me feel comfortable and did an excellent job, very realistic.

I waited a long time to get my tattoo after my mastectomy. I wanted to make sure I found the right person - and Maria was that person. My tattoo looks so natural you can't tell it isn't the real one. In fact, when my primary care doctor (who had also had a mastectomy) saw it, she was so impressed, she kept bring other people in the office to see my "work of art". But I think the important thing is the way I feel - and that is normal. Maria's finishing touch means that I can go about my life feeling confident, feeling like a woman, and completely put the past challenges of cancer behind me.

I learned of Marie Sena from my plastic surgeon, after my double mastectomy. At the time, his office was not offering 3-D Nipple Tattoos because his person was moving. He highly recommended Marie and Dallas Medical Tattoo. He explained that the type of "ink" his medical office was able to use would not last as long as Dallas Medical Tattoo. He had seen her work and thought she was "fantastic". I chose not to do anything at the time, but after 2.5 years, I consulted with Marie at her Dallas studio. She was gracious, patient and very understanding. It was clear Marie was very talented. I healed exactly like she said I would and am very pleased with her talented work. I have other breast-cancer survivor friends who had their tattoos done in their doctor's office and they said their tattoos are already faded. Marie had many pictures of tattoos she has done and they all look great; she's confident the colors will stay natural and vibrant. My 3-D tattoo looks very natural. I'm very pleased with her artistic work, plus her gentle soul!!

Marie Sena at Dallas Medical Tattoo is amazing! I went to see her because I had a mastectomy and reconstruction following breast cancer, but had not had any sort of nipple reconstruction. I heard about her from a news story and immediately contacted her. Marie completed a 3D areola tattoo on my breast and you would swear I had a natural nipple! She made me feel very comfortable about the procedure and her studio is very relaxing. If you have had reconstruction surgery but still need to complete the process, go see Marie! You will be so happy you did. Every time I see myself in the mirror, I am very happy I made the decision to get an areola tattoo!!!

Maria was wonderful, I lost both my breast in 2014 to cancer. I ended up with a really bad infection lost the right implant 3 months later. So when I was finally ready to be whole again I got on line and read about Maria. We had a great phone conversation and set the appointment. I was a little nervous going in however that went away the minute we shook hands. My tats look amazing. I stood up looked in the mirror and cried for the first time in over two years I felt like a woman again. I can't thank her enough for the job she did.

I came in with a unique request and we thoroughly discussed the size, shape, color, and placement of my tattoos before starting. My tattoos have come up in many conversations because of how natural they look. Marie is incredibly talented and listens to the needs of those she tattoos. I've recommended her to many friends. 5/5 stars! You rock, Marie!

Sadly, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. After chemo, radiation & several surgeries, I was declared cancer free! I love & appreciate my body. I was striving for health & total wellness. After living with my reconstructed breasts for a while, I realized I still needed closure. A friend contacted me about 3D aerola tattooing. She'd seen an article on the subject & thought I'd be interested. I followed up with the article & found Marie Sena. Marie was well spoken & knowledgeable. She sent me to a link on her website that allowed me to see tattooes she'd done on other women & especially 3D aerola tattooes. Marie's work is transforming. She takes something that could be disfiguring & turns it into something that helps to bring peace & joy. Thanks so much Marie, for a job exceedingly well done. Thank you for helping me to feel more like "me" since all this craziness started! Rhonnie Bellin

I highly recommend Marie. She is gentle and has a keen sense for detail. Not only did she do beautiful work, she is ever mindful of how her 'art' empowers, esteems and equips a woman to be her bigger, bolder self!

2005 breast cancer survivor, after several reconstructed surgeries and a faded areola tattoo that I left alone for several years... I decided to revisit it again and searched online for someone who could re-do my tattoo.... I discovered Marie in an online news article about 3D tattoos for breast cancer survivors when I was searching ... I saw some of her work and was so intrigued about the 3D tattoo procedure that I had to give her a call... I wish I found her much sooner, because I was so self conscious about my breast for so long... the 3D tattoo made a huge difference... now I don't dwell on that issue about my breast anymore... it's like a weight has been lifted...I'm not feeling depressed about it anymore... I'm VERY happy with results... I feel 'normal' again!!! 😃 I highly recommend Marie and the 3D tattoos!!!

My Wife opted to have 3D nipples tattooed on instead of having them reconstructed and 2D tattooed after consulting with her plastic surgeon, he recommended Dallas Medical Tattoo, based in their reputation and personal feedback he had received. We contacted The studio and both Marie and her Husband were extremely helpful and professional on the phone, this helped set my Wife at ease. Since I have numerous tattoos and wanted to be there to witness closure on her breast cancer journey I accompanied her to the appointment (plus I love her so much it hurts). The studio is unique and extremely clean. Marie took my Wife's input, but instinctively new what needed to happen. She drew on the size and placement perfectly. The tattoos look amazing and we are very pleased. Marie has a calming way about her and kept my Wife comfortable and engaged during the procedure, she was also most thorough with post procedure expectations and care. Marie even provided all the insurance forms for us to submit. This is a procedure/service not yet covered by insurance but needs to be, it provides an important milestone marker to cancer survivors and is a necessary step in the healing process both physically and mentally. If we had opted to have our plastic surgeon perform a less aesthetically pleasing 2D rendition (no knock to him), it would have been covered. Regardless, it was worth it. If you are considering a more natural looking nipple, this is the studio and artist for you. Thank you Marie for your positive, professional attitude/environment and stellar work!
