WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING A LIP TATTOO?

 

Permanent makeup on lips is a form of tattooing, the pigment is implanted quite shallow in the dermal layer. If you’d like to know how to prepare for the procedure and other helpful information you can find it all out here. Permanent lip makeup lasts from 2 to 5 years. Many women decide to have it done to improve the natural colour of their lips, improve the symmetry of their lips or sharpen the lip contours.

 

WHAT IS A SEMI-PERMANENT LIP TATTOO?

 

With age, our lips often become paler and thinner and we lose the definition in the lip area. Lip liner with lip blush or full lip blush will help to restore the fullness and definition to your lips. The procedure of lip enhancement can enlarge the lip area and give them a much clearer contour. You can choose very natural colour for definition only or a darker or more vibrant shade.

DOES SEMI-PERMANENT LIP TATTOOING HURT?

​

How bad does a lip tattoo hurt? It depends on the personal pain threshold. Some clients describe the procedure as being uncomfortable, and for others, it is just a tingling sensation, where some people still feel some discomfort, others say that the process is less painful than the body tattoos. We use an anaesthetic cream to lower the discomfort level, and after the cream application, the only thing that clients can feel is the vibration of the needle touching the skin.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SEMI-PERMANENT LIP TATTOOING?

 

The most important reason why people decide to get their lips tattooed is to even out their lips asymmetry or to slightly enhance their size. A tattoo can also help to sharpen the lost shape in the outline. This treatment is highly recommended for people who have very uneven or blurred lip contour (which can often happen after herpes outbreaks) or people who want to optically enlarge the lower and upper lips (but only slightly, lips should not be tattooed far outside the lip line). 

In the case of the blurred contour, we can match the pigment colour to your natural lip colour perfectly. Semi-permanent lip makeup can also be used to correct the dark coloured lips (brown, bluish or purple), but it may require more treatments, and the outcome depends on the amount of melanin in the lip area. We can also correct the cleft lip and any scars in the lip area to be less visible or more symmetrical.

CAN I GET SEMI-PERMANENT LIP TATTOO WHEN I HAVE THE LIP FILLERS?

 

Permanent lip make-up and lip fillers – can those two treatments be combined?

Certainly, you can have both done, lip augmentation and permanent lip makeup, but not at the same time. The combination of these two treatments is a perfect recipe for beautifully shaped and juicy lips 😊 

Permanent makeup will achieve beautiful colour and shape, and lip fillers volume.

SEMI-PERMANENT LIP TATTOO OR FILLERS – WHICH ONE SHOULD BE DONE FIRST?

 

If you want to have both these treatments done you should arrange them in the correct order. To make your lips look their best it’s very important to do it properly.

First, get your semi-permanent lips done. The results of permanent makeup last much longer than lip fillers. Semi-permanent makeup lasts 2-5 years and hyaluronic acid between 6-10 months. 

Semi-permanent makeup will determine the shape of the lips, and it will be much easier to achieve the more symmetrical lip enhancement with the filler after. Semi-permanent lip make-up will remain for longer and the filler can be topped up regularly.

WHAT IS SEMI-PERMANENT LIP BLUSH? 

 

The lip blush treatment includes all the benefits of the lip liner enhancement to improve your lips contour, but with the additional soft blush of lightly faded colour to the body of your lips, giving the lips a more natural and fresh look. 

 

WHAT IS SEMI-PERMANENT FULL LIP TINT TATTOO? 

 

The full lip tint treatment includes all the benefits of the lip liner enhancement to improve your lips contour, but with the additional colour to the full body of your lips, giving your lips fresh and youthful look.
