Lips

Can I get lip blush if I have dark lips?

You will need to do a dark lip neutralization first to color correct your lips and cancel any cool/dark areas. This means that the initial color we tattoo will be ORANGE–but it will heal a nudey-pink! We cannot tattoo just any color over dark lips as it will enhance the dark spots or you will have no results at all. Once your lips has healed at 6 weeks, your lips will look more even. Please note that results cannot be guaranteed and lightening or evening out dark lips may take a few sessions. If you are unsure if you have dark lips, please send me picture of your lips in natural lighting.

Does this procedure trigger cold sores?

The lip tattooing can trigger cold sores for carriers of the herpes simplex virus. To prevent cold sores from flaring up, it is recommended to go to your family doctor and get an antiviral medication prescribed to take 5 days prior procedure, the day of, and 5 days after. Note that a cold sore outbreak can alter the healed results of the tattoo.

If I have lip filler, can I get lip blushing done?

Lip fillers do not interfere with the process of tattooing lips or the result! Although the lip filler and lip blush appointments must be at least 4 weeks apart. We would recommend you to get lip blushing 4 weeks after your filler appointment!

Does lip blushing hurt?

There is minimal pain to no pain. There can be moments where you will feel uncomfortable, but bearable. There is an excessive amount of numbing and the technique used is very gentle. If you are weary of the pain, you can take 1-2 TYLENOL 30 minutes before the procedure. DO NOT take ADVIL or drink COFFEE before your appointment or it can compromise your entire tattoo. These two factors can cause you to bleed and make you more sensitive throughout the procedure.

How long does lip blushing last?

The longevity of your lip blush tattoo depends on your skin, lifestyle, aftercare, and maintenance touch-ups! It can last from 2-5 years! A few factors that can cause your tattoo to fade faster like Oily skin, Retinol or Vitamin C, Iron deficiency, Sun exposure (use SPF always), Exfoliants, and Exposure to salt water.
