A machine and needle are used to gently deposit pigment into the lips. This technique allows the artist to slowly build a beautifully natural lip color. Color and boldness are customized to the client's preference.

Natural Lips or Lip Blush is a technique that produces more of a "nude lip," or "lip tint," result, however, everybody's skin takes the tattoo differently. I always start light and natural. We can build color on the complimentary touchup.

The retention rate of the lip tattoo depends on different factors such as:

• The color mix

• Lifestyle

• Touch Ups

• Pre + After Care

On average, Lip Blush fades away within 2-5 years, with most people wanting a touch up every 2-3 years.

The first session takes 2-4 hours, and the touch up takes about 1- 2 hours.

Day 1 | Some swelling and tenderness after the procedure is normal. Your lips may look like you got lip filler, however, this is normal and typically subsides within the first 24 hours. Color will be most vibrant on day one before fading up to 50%.

Day 2-5 | Your lips will appear darker for the first few days. Lips have the easiest and fastest healing. It only takes about 4-5 days to heal superficially. During this time, you will need to apply ointment as your lips will be chapped.

Within a few weeks, pigment will soften up and resurface.
