BEFORE AFTER

lip blush tattooing $500

Lip blushing is a semi-permanent procedure of lip tattooing that helps enhance the beauty of the natural lip. This procedure improves the shape, color, and definition of the lips as well as an illusion for more lively full lips. This is usually done using a tiny mechanized needle that deposits pigmentation into the skin of the lips which builds layers of color. Kathy has created a process that creates even-ness in the lip tone as well as providing a more asymmetrical shape. 

PRE-PROCEDURE LIP-BLUSHING TREATMENT

  • Do not consume alcohol, caffeine, fish oil, Vitamin E, aspirin and ibuprofen, they will bleed more due to thinning of the skin.

  • Find pictures of lipsticks to bring in to show the color that you are going for

  • If prone to cold-sores, talk to your doctor and take a preventative tablet before hand. Lip blushing can trigger inflammation or breakouts of cold-sores.

AFTERCARE

  • For the first 24-48 hours it is recommended to ice the lips to reduce the swelling post-procedure. 

  • Use lots of lip balm to keep the lips moisturized

  • Do not pick your scabs

  • Avoid sun exposure and workouts for the next two weeks. 

  • Avoid all spicy foods 48 hours following the procedure. 

  • Avoid exfoliates and rubbing lips excessively, this can taint the pigmentation and create damaging scabbing. 

HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?

This usually depends on the individual's lifestyle and if you keep up with the aftercare procedures, but generally lasts for 2-5 years. However it is recommended to get touch ups six weeks prior to the service. 

 

CAN I GET THEM WET OR WORK OUT?

It is recommended to avoid working out two weeks after the procedure. Getting the lips wet is not a concern but rubbing the lips excessively or using rough exfoliates will be harmful to the color and scarring/scabbing of your lips.  

 

CAN I WEAR MAKEUP AFTER?

Yes! After the lips have fully healed feel free to use different lipsticks, this procedure does not replace the lipstick look, it simply adds a natural tint to the lips.

 

IS THE SECONDARY APPOINTMENT NECESSARY?

It is highly recommended to make a follow up appointment. (4 weeks after) Sometimes certain clients reject the pigment in certain areas on their lips or if you just want to alter the shape of the blush. 

 

DOES IT HURT? 

Yes it does hurt, but we use the BEST numbing cream and most of the clients rate the pain a 4/10 after the numbing process.

 

WILL YOU DRAW IN SHAPE FIRST?

Yes we will always outline the shape just so you can give your opinion and make sure it is to your liking of course.

 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL? WILL I BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO WORK?

It Usually takes 5-10 days to heal, but in the first 24-48 hours expect swelling that can be reduced by icing your lips. During the process your lips may scab and the coloration of the tattoo will change by the end of the healing process. 

 

HOW LONG IS THE APPOINTMENT?

The appointment lasts for about 2 hours, the pre-procedure is usually 20 minutes long. The pre-procedure is just the “pout prep”, which is just medicine applied to numb the lips.
