FAQ

How Does it work?

A tiny pen-like machine and a very small needle are used to gently deposit pigment into the lips. This slowly builds a beautifully natural lip colour. Micropigmentation allows us to build the colour gradually so that we have full control over the boldness of the lip colour. Colour and boldness are based on client preferences.

Will it look like lipstick?

Natural lips or Lip Blush is a technique that produces more of a “nude lip” or “lip tint” result. However, everyones skin takes the tattoo differently, so we always start light and can build colour on touch-up.

How long does it last?

The retention rate of the lip tattoo depends on different factors such as the colour you choose, your lifestyle, touch-ups, and how you care for them before and after your appointment. On average, Lip Blush fades away within 2-5 years, with most people wanting annual touch ups.

How long does the appointment take?

3.5 hours

What is the healing process?

Some swelling and tenderness after the procedure is normal and may last a day or so. Your lips may look like you've had lip filler, however this is normal and typically subsides within the first 24 hrs. Your lips will appear darker for the first few days. Lips have the easiest and fastest healing. It only takes about 4-5 days to heal on average. During this time you will need to apply the ointment provided as your lips will be chapped.

Can I still get a lip tattoo if I have lip filler?

Yes! In no way does having lip filler interfere with the process of tattooing lips or the results. Note that lip filler and lip blush appointments must be at least 4 weeks apart from each other.

Can we go outside the lip line?

Yes, if the skin will allow, and only 1-2mm. The skin on the lips is not the same as on the face, things can look unnatural or get unpredictable when a tattoo is too far outside the natural lipline.
