Lip Tattoo

Lip tattooing is a customizable permanent makeup service designed to enhance the natural shape, color, and definition of the lips. This service offers three beautiful options, tailored to individual preferences and skin tones.

Important! Lip tattooing procedures may trigger a temporary outbreak of cold sores (Herpes Simplex Virus type 1), even in clients with no prior history or who have been asymptomatic. Clients are advised to consult a medical professional regarding the use of antiviral medication and to follow all prescribed medical instructions prior to undergoing this procedure.

How to Prepare for Your Lip Tattoo Appointment

    • Any medication with blood thinning effect

    • Caffeine & alcohol intake 24 hours prior to procedure

    • Retinol, stop it five days prior and after

    • Botox or fillers (six weeks)

    • Facials one week prior

    • Strong chemical skin treatments (six weeks)

    • Sunburn (until skin/lips have healed)

    • Tanning (one week)

    • Direct sun exposure

    • Swimming in pool or ocean

    • Any type of tanning

    • Excessive sweating

    • Sauna or strong steam

    • Any product getting to lips

    • Spicy food

    • Makeup on lips

    • Rubbing lips

    • Facials and massages (avoid during the first six weeks)

    • Fillers and Botox (avoid during the first six weeks)

  • ·      Color Perfection Touchup (must be done six or seven weeks after initial session and no longer than after the twelfth week). As with all artistic semi-permanent makeup creations, a touchup will be needed in order to see the desired results. The touchup can be performed six weeks after the main procedure, NOT BEFORE. Our skin renews its living cycle every 30 days; however, the lips’ skin lacks sebaceous glans, sweat gland and hair follicles which make that area more sensitive than other parts of the face. If any invasive treatment is done during the first 45 days of healing, the results will be altered, and skin might get damaged.

    . Yearly Touchup recommended to maintain the freshness of color and shape of your lips.

  • A semi-permanent makeup procedure, just like any other permanent makeup services, needs to go through a healing time before seeing results. The healing process takes 45 days, and it is divided in four stages.

    During the first stage, lips will be darker than desired color.

    During the second stage, lips will most likely scab.

    Through the third stage, the pigments will fade a little; this is normal.

    When the lips get to the fourth part of the healing process, (5-6 weeks after) the pigment will return and settle, and the result will be visible. Lips will be about 40-50% lighter than initial color. Same healing time applies for touchups.
