What is Lip Blush?

 

Lip blushing is a type of semipermanent cosmetic tattooing procedure achieved by depositing pigments in your lips using small needles.

While also sometimes called lip tattooing, this is more of a cosmetic enhancement rather than traditional tattoo art. Lip blushing focuses on altering both color and shape to create younger-looking lips.

​

Lip blushing can help if you’d like to achieve more symmetry and tone. We also help you choose a natural-looking pigment for your treatment.

​

Everyone’s lips are different, and there’s no one standard of beauty. But if you would like to change the appearance or color of your lips, you may be interested in lip blushing.

​

How long does it last?

​

It can last anywhere from 1-3 years or more depending on how well your aftercare is and how well your skin heals. 

​

Potential side effects?

​

Lip blushing carries the same side effects and risks as traditional tattooing. Minor side effects are to be expected, though they’ll decrease as your lips heal. These include:

​

  • swelling

  • redness

  • pain

​

Without proper aftercare and healing, your lips may become infected. Call a doctor if you notice:

​

  • excessive swelling

  • worsening pain

  • pus oozing from your lips

​

​

Benefits of Lip Blush?

​

Lip blushing gives lips a gorgeous, barely-there flush without the lifetime commitment of a traditional tattoo. The perks of lip blushing include:

​

  • Long-lasting lip color

  • Increased pigmentation for pale and aging lips

  • The ability to customize your lip shade

  • Fuller-looking lips without need for injectables or surgery

  • Enhanced lip symmetry

  • Color correction for scars and uneven pigmentation

​

Does it Hurt?

​

It depends on your pain tolerance however, we do use numbing cream to help with the pain.

​

How to prepare for your lip blush appointment?

​

Make sure to prep lips a few days before your tattoo with daily applications of lip scrub and balm. The skin should be smooth, soft, and hydrated before the procedure to allow for even pigment saturation and proper healing overall.

​

Who is not a Lip Blush Candidate?

​

  • are pregnant or nursing

  • take Accutane (isotretinoin), steroids, or blood-thinning medication

  • suffer from cold sores, or

​

if you are unsure about your condition contact Brow Goddess before booking your appointment. Also, consult a doctor about the procedure before booking.

​

Are touchups required?

​

Highly recommend touch ups, as the pigment fades up to 40-50% after the first initial session. The touch up will help revive any lost pigment.
