What is a Lip Blush Tattoo

If you are after an easy way to boost your lip charm, a lip blush tattoo might be the solution. This cosmetic tattooing technique enhances your lip colour and shape naturally. With this technique, you can say goodbye to constant use of lipsticks and have beautiful lips!

During the Lip blush tattooing process in our salon in North Adelaide, we use a special machine to gently add colour to your lips, giving them a fresh and youthful look. This tattoo can improve the shape of the lips, and give definition and the illusion of fullness to them. It is perfect for those in Adelaide who want lovely lips without the daily lipstick fuss.

Preparation for a Lip Blush Tattoo procedure in our salon in North Adelaide

There are a few things you need to consider in order to be prepared for a lip blush tattoo. FIrst, please keep your lips hydrated before the appointment. Avoid using any alcohol, caffeine, or blood-thinning substance 24 hours before the procedure. In addition, please consult your tattoo artist if pregnant, breastfeeding, or with medical conditions.

Benefits of Lip Blush Tattoo

First, a lip blush tattoo can add colour to your lips. With a lip blush tattoo, you can achieve a healthy, flushed and beautiful look without using lipstick. In addition, it can boost collagen naturally. The microneedling process during the lip blush procedure can simulate collage and improve the lip texture. Furthermore, it reshapes and redefines the lips as they can look symmetrical, balanced, and redefined. It is also a kind of painless procedure that does not require much downtime. Finally, it can correct imperfections in the lip area. It can fix scars, pigment losses, darkened lips, or pigmentation issues in the lip area.

The Lip Blush Tattoo Healing Journey

On the first day, after a lip blush tattoo, your lips may be swollen and tender, but that’s normal. During this first day, follow aftercare instructions, avoid certain foods, and use ointment on your lips. On the second and third day, you may experience some swelling and discomfort. It is common, so you do not need to worry about it. Just refrain from touching your lips to avoid any interference in the tattoo colour.

Around day four, scabbing and peeling of the lips begin. To avoid cracking and scab loss, keep your lips moisturised during this period. As more days progress, you may notice the colour of your lips looking lighter as the pigment settles. After around two weeks, you can witness the final results. The colour of your lips should be settled, and scabbing should be gone.

If you desire further enhancements or adjustments, consider scheduling a touch-up appointment after 6 to 8 weeks.
