Lip blushing is a form of permanent makeup that enhances the beauty of the natural lip color and improves the shape of the lips. This cosmetic tattoo defines the shape and gives the illusion of fullness.

The cost of an initial appointment is $400. A complimentary 6-12 week touch-up is mandatory to complete the lip tattoo.

It’s actually not very painful at all. Although lips are one of the most sensitive parts of the human body, two different numbing creams are used throughout the process.

Clients who take blood thinners or have consumed caffeine will be extra sensitive to pain. It is recommended to not consume caffeine or alcohol 24 hours prior to the service.

Clients who have scars on their lips will be extremely sensitive as well.

The pain, if any, is completely bearable.

It is very much like getting a regular tattoo. A tattoo pen with a needle cartridge gently deposits pigment into the skin to build a color onto the lips. Micropigmentation allows the artist to have full control over how bold the color of the lip is.

The color of pigment is entirely custom to each client based on personal preference, skin undertone, the Fitzpatrick scale and the artist’s professional judgement.

The technique used for lip blushing produces a subtle, natural look. It is meant to look like a “lip tint”, rather than a bold lip. The saturation of the lip can be built even more during the 6 week touch-up. It is always better to start with less than more!

Lip blushing begins to fade away within 2-5 years but most clients will find that they want a touch-up yearly to keep their color fresh.

The retention for lip blushing varies between clients. Factors for retention include: the color chosen, your lifestyle, touch-ups, and how your lips are cared for before and after your appointment.

If you have oily skin, an iron deficiency, or a very strong immune system, your lip tattoo will not heal as crisp or last as long as others

The initial appointment takes about 2-3 hours and the touch-up takes about 1-2 hours.

The healing process is actually quick compared to some other permanent makeup services like microblading. It only takes 4-5 days for the lips to be completely healed.

Immediately after the appointment you will experience swelling and tenderness however these symptoms only last for about a day. The swelling is comparable to getting your lips injected with filler. This is completely normal and is the reason why lips look so plump in photos of lips that are freshly tattooed.

Your lips will also appear darker for the first couple of days.

It is important that you apply the aftercare ointment given to you at your appointment throughout the healing process. Your lips will be chapped so it is important to keep them moisturized as they are healing.

Yes! Having lip filler does not interfere with the process or results of lip blushing. Lip filler and lip blush appointments MUST be at least 4 weeks apart from each other.

Yes but only 2mm. The skin of the lips is far different than the skin on the rest of the face. Because of this, lip blushing can look unnatural or the healed results can be very unpredictable when the tattoo is too far outside of the lipline.
