Lip Tattooing

Cosmetic Tattooing Lip enhancement can help restore your lips to their youthful appearance, whilst correcting asymmetries and re- defining natural lip contours for the perfect pout!  Permanent makeup helps prevent lipstick smudging to the surrounding skin, as well as restoring the lip pigment from sun damage, which is responsible for those unwanted 'white lines' surrounding your natural lip pigment.

Tattoo enhancements take the hassle out of reapplying lip liner or lipstick throughout the day. You can still wear lipstick if you desire a lighter or darker lip shade. By having your lips tattooed you will find your tattoo provides a base color which prolongs the time your lipstick will last.

 As lips are the most self-healing area on the face sometimes it can take up to three sittings to obtain your desired color. This doesn't apply to everyone though! Lip tattooing can fade up to 80% after your first sitting. Some women hold pigment a lot better than others for a number of reasons.  The main reasons retention of pigment varies between women can include, your skin type & skin color, medications you take, whether or not you bleed much throughout the procedure, depth placement of the pigment and saturation, if you get a cold sore whilst healing or not following the after instructions properly.

The first Lip Tattooing touchup is at 4-6 weeks after the initial appointment.

 * Slight swelling will occur for at least 24- 48 hours, but no down time – can resume work as normal. 

*Over the next two weeks post treatment you will have some skin flaking off, I advise my clients to avoid booking your lip tattooing procedure within two weeks of any special events.

Preparation for your Permanent Lipstick Treatment

In order to prepare for your lip tattooing procedure and obtain the best results possible, avoid taking the following medications, substances and vitamins as they can cause your blood to thin-

• Aspirin or Ibuprofen
• Alcohol
• Caffeine (coffee & tea)
• Fish oil
• Niacin
• Vitamin E
• Retinol based products.

If you suffer from Cold Sores, it is vital you take anti-viral medication before your procedure.  They can appear due to the damage to the surface of the skin and negatively affect the healing results.  Below is listed the recommended anti-viral medication -Cold Sores, it is vital you take anti-viral medication before your procedure.  They can appear due to the damage to the surface of the skin and negatively affect the healing results.  Below is listed the recommended anti-viral medication -

• Lysine is a natural essential amino acid, best taken 1 month before procedure.
• Valtrex, which you can obtain a prescription from your doctor, and will attack virus immediately. Best to take 2 days before and after procedure.

Choosing a Color

In general, most people will choose a neutral color, similar to the color of their favorite lipstick. I always advise clients to either bring it along to your appointment or send through a photo of your desired color.  We have a wide range of lip tattooing pigments and can specially order in your favorite lip color if we don't have it in stock.

Lip Tattooing Vs Lip Fillers

A Full Lip Cosmetic Tattoo can redefine the lips and make them appear fuller and brighter. Although fillers can make the lips appear bigger it doesn’t address the issue of pigment loss and correcting the lip shape/line. If done correctly lip filler, along with tattooing  can look amazing! But sometimes fillers can look extremely fake and bulky. This is why we advise you try Tattooing first, being that its a more natural approach and then if needed use filler or Botox to finish the desired look.

If you have previously already had fillers or have already booked in to have them done we ask you wait at least 2-4 weeks before booking in to get your Lips tattooed, as fillers need time to set.
