Working With Epilogue Ink

Hi, I’m Patrina Ryals, and I specialize in restorative tattooing here in Reno.

I created Epilogue Ink to help patients feel at home in their bodies after surgery, scars, or other skin changes — supporting both their confidence and their healing journey using paramedical tattoo methods.

My restorative specialties include…

• Scar Camouflage – blending scar tissue using skin tone -colored pigments with surrounding skin for a more natural appearance.

  • EX: Hypopigmented Surgical Scars, Acne Scars, Burn Scars, Sunspots, Self-Harm Scars, etc.

• Areola & Nipple Restoration – recreating realistic details/ balance for post-surgery clients.

  • EX: Areola Re-Pigmentation, Donut Scar Camouflage, Anchor Scar Camouflage, Existing Areola Restoration

• Stretch Mark & Skin Tone Blending – Stretch mark restoration focuses on restoring harmony to the skin by minimizing contrast, improving texture, and supporting healthy skin regeneration over time. Results are subtle, natural, and progressive.

• 3D Hyper realistic Post-Mastectomy Areola tattoos- COMING SOON! Recreating what Cancer/Surgery took away with natural-looking, detailed nipple tattoos that will your patients see their body as their own again.

• Free Temporary Areola Tattoos- I offer free temporary tattoo placements in our studio for women to "try on" for size if they are still healing from their reconstruction and or deciding whether or not to commit to a permanent 3D Nipple tattoo. These tattoos take about 30 seconds to apply on the breast and will last for about a week before they will naturally fade off.

  These services are meant to complement the care you already provide, giving patients another way to feel whole, confident, and supported.
