• The tattoo doesn’t just go about your lip like conventional lip-liner applications.

The border of the lips is done with an outline but also shaded in the middle in a circular motion to give it more of a bland look. The interior part of the lips is sometimes kept without color to give it a shaded look.

• It’s likely to get a color that’s close to your natural lip color — but that suggests it won’t last as prolonged.

The frequency of touch-ups is based on the natural color is. If someone comes in and wants a darker shade, they will have to come in again for a touch-up so that the color can be refreshed and have a new look.

• Most salons or clinics utilize pigment rather than conventional tattoo ink (which is why it disappears quickly).

Some years ago, permanent makeup was applied with regular ink and that’s why it looks so unnatural. When you get a body tattoo, it is done with the kind of ink that has a watery consistency. The pigment is thicker so it will give a more natural and powdery finish. However, it does exfoliate and lighten from your skin after 12 to 18 months of application. Because we also eat and drink, it will happen faster than regular tattoos.

• Yes, it’s unpleasant.

Lisp is one of the most sensitive parts of the body and if you thinking to get it done, you might want to pay extra for the anesthetic to block the pain. They are vascular and thus it might be possible that you will get more pain at this body part. The anesthetic allows them to have the procedure to be done and dusted way faster.

• The healing method takes approximately 10 days.

The professional artist would advise you to get lip blushing near a weekend, so for example, you can get yourself a lip blushing on a Thursday so that the swelling and dryness can die down over the weekend. They will appear chapped during the healing process and the color will also get lighter which will come back later on. You will see the full color after two weeks.
