Whether you want to achieve the perfect shape, restore lost color, or enjoy smudge-proof beauty, lip tattooing offers a fantastic alternative to lip fillers. Opt for a softer lip tattoo, known as lip blush, to experience a freshened-up lip stain effect that lasts all day. A lip tattoo requires two applications spaced four weeks apart and lasts up to three years.
What are the pros and cons of lip tattoos? The pros include adding color, fullness, defining shape, and adding youthfulness. Cons, a lip tattoo doesn't replace your favorite lipstick for special occasions or nights out. You may wear regular lipstick over it once healed. Lip color will fade away naturally, leaving no permanent color change.
Dark-toned lips require extra applications to lighten up the tone before applying the desired color. This is performed through the dark lip neutralization process. The dark lip neutralization technique uses orange and peachy tones to counterbalance the dark hues. Darker lips may appear darker before appearing lighter as the pigment deposits itself through the layers of skin. Learn more about lip color on our color theory page.
Lip tattooing can trigger cold sores for those with the underlying virus. Over-the-counter creams are available if needed. For added peace of mind, discuss taking an antiviral with your doctor ensuring your lip tattoo experience is smooth and worry-free.
Lip blush enhances the natural color and shape of the lips, resulting in a soft tinted lip color.

All lip tattoos initially appear dark than fade during the healing process.
Darker lips require extra applications. Light colors will not show up well on darker lips. Dark-toned lips are lightened using a contrasting color like peach or orange explained on our color theory page.
To neutralize darker hues, multiple applications are applied. The first color application counters the darker colors with the opposite color on the color wheel like orange or salmon. The second application lightens it more. The last application creates the desired effect once the natural lip color is light enough to cover successfully.Dark tones may show through until pigment is fully settled making the lips appear darker before appearing lighter.
