Lipstick tattoo

Lip tattooing imitates the effect of lip gloss and leaves long-lasting, vibrant colours on the lips. This type of permanent makeup has the advantage of creating a natural lipstick look that enhances the beauty of the lips and attracts attention. Before undergoing the cosmetic tattoo treatment, it is essential to understand its benefits and potential risks and to choose a trained specialist who can perform the cosmetic lip tattooing method efficiently and successfully.

All about Lipstick tattoo

Permanent makeup, sometimes called the “lipstick effect”, involves filling the lips with colour pigment to create a vibrant and stunning look.

In just two hours, with the help of a professional, you can have beautiful lips in the natural or bold colour of your choice.

If you are still not sure whether or not you should sign up for a permanent lip tattoo, here are some of the benefits you can expect:

  • The procedure improves the contour of your lips by masking imperfections. It is a safe way to enhance your natural appearance. Cosmetic tattooing can also be combined with lip augmentation, Botox, or hyaluronic acid.

    Tattooing with a lipstick effect can improve lip contours, make them appear more transparent and brighten their natural colour.
    Permanent cosmetics are a fantastic solution for women allergic to lipstick components.

  • A significant advantage of this treatment is its long-lasting effect, as the quality of the lip tattoo is not affected by contact with cold or spicy food, drink or other cosmetics.

    This procedure eliminates the need for cosmetics such as lipstick and gloss, ensuring that your lips retain their full colour even when eating or drinking.

  • You may skip colouring your lips for up to two years.
  • Long-lasting, lip colour tattoo.
  • You may save money on lipsticks and spend less time in front of the mirror.
  • The chosen colouring pigment might soon fade and is difficult to remove.
  • There are restrictions and a recovery period during which your natural appearance may not be ideal.
  • Our specialist can help you choose the finest lip tattooing technique and recommend correct skin care.

Despite its simplicity, the tattooing process is not for everyone. The main contraindications are:

  • Hepatitis;
  • insulin-dependent diabetes;
  • infectious diseases;
  • diseases of the cardiovascular system;
  • pregnancy and lactation;
  • epilepsy;
  • hormonal disorders.

Before applying lipstick tattoos, specific preparatory steps must be taken to ensure the best results. First, avoid alcohol for a few days before the tattooing process since it may affect blood circulation and skin reactions. Blood thinners such as aspirin and ibuprofen should also be avoided for at least two days before the cosmetic tattoo procedure.

You should wait 2-3 days before getting a lipstick tattoo to eliminate dead skin cells and smooth the skin’s surface.

The durable lip colour can be changed anytime required, taking into account the client’s preferences. The pigment should closely match natural tones to get a more striking result. Many people like an intense yet delicate colour. The specialist can create permanent makeup with an organic look that any shade of lipstick can easily conceal.

Permanent lip makeup is usually applied in four phases and takes two to three hours to finish. The main phases in the procedure are:

  • Creating a sketch. After applying the antiseptic, an expert sketches the skin.

  • Shade selection. A qualified specialist can select the best shade based on the client’s skin tone and colour type.

  • The pigment is applied by blending; if necessary, local anaesthesia ensures the procedure is comfortable.

  • Aftercare.

After 30-40 days, many clients may require a touch-up procedure to fix pigment loss and enhance colour intensity. The body recognizes the pigment as alien and instinctively attempts to eliminate it. As a result, it is critical not to remove or steam the dried lymph crust that forms following the procedure.

Permanent makeup can also activate cold sores on the lips. It is important not to panic, as this virus is latent in 95% of people. The effects of this uncomfortable condition can cause the pigmentation around the lip growths to lighten, contributing to the need for corrections.

You should avoid getting your lips moist and eating anything salty or spicy. The healing process for lips might take up to ten days. The main aftercare rules are:

  • If moisture forms on the lips within 1-2 days, gently wipe it away with a clean, sterilized tissue.
  • Lips can become dry during permanent makeup, so it’s important to moisturize them with a unique, gentle lip product. Choosing the right lip product can help the cosmetic tattoo artist create a ‘lipstick effect’. This cosmetic product can help soothe and repair the top layer of skin.
  • You should avoid visiting the sauna, solarium, or swimming pool or spending prolonged periods in direct sunlight for at least one month.
  • During the first week, avoiding or limiting salt intake is advisable.
  • Try to avoid getting your lips wet when washing or showering. It’s best not to expose your lips to water until a protective layer of skin has developed.
  • Lipsticks, tints, and peeling are prohibited for 30-40 days.

Permanent lip makeup with a lipstick effect is a valuable option for those who want to show off a beautiful colour without needing lipstick, gloss or lip liner.

Known as cosmetic lipstick lip tattooing, this procedure effectively conceals blueness, corrects asymmetry, and increases lip volume. Following the guidelines and advice for pre-treatment and post-treatment skin care is essential.

FAQ

If you follow your doctor’s advice and attend follow-up appointments for corrections (within 1-2 months) and colour touch-ups (annually), you can enjoy the results of permanent makeup for up to three years.

The essential step before beginning the process is applying anesthesia, followed by a second layer beneath the skin once the initial pigment layer is in position. This two-step anesthesia method is continued throughout the procedure to guarantee maximum comfort. Our permanent makeup specialists use high-quality hypoallergenic anesthetics.

Permanent lip makeup, known as the “lipstick effect”, usually takes around 3 hours. This time includes choosing the shape and pigment, applying the anaesthetic, allowing it to take effect and then using the pigment, which takes about 1.5-2 hours.

When consulting a specialist, it is critical to consider your skin tone, hair colour, and complexion. People with warm skin tones and light hair should use warm colours to avoid a dramatic contrast between their lips and complexion. Brighter colours may look good on darker complexion and brown or black hair.

A thin layer forms on the surface during the first week, followed by a second layer the following week, making the lips look slightly less vibrant. The colour intensifies, and the texture returns to its original state within two weeks. It is essential to observe this process so as not to assume that the permanent makeup does not work—the result can be achieved after one month.

It usually takes 3 to 5 days to heal from the procedure. During this time, a crust will form on the lips, which should be treated with a special ointment provided by the specialist. If you follow all the recommendations, the crust will disappear, and you will be rewarded with attractive, hydrated lips.

The cost of a lip tattoo with lipstick effect at the salon varies according to the master, ranging from $500 to $800.
