Ask Me Anything: Answers to Your Questions About Lip Tattooing

Lip Tattooing Sunshine Coast: The Full Guide

There is tattooing, and there is semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing. Lip tattooing, which may also be called lip blushing, is really more of a cosmetic enhancement than a traditional tattoo, and it can alter the shape, symmetry and colour of your lips.

A lip tattoo is a professional procedure that involves inserting color pigments into your lips with small tattooing needles. That means the ink is deposited into the skin with tiny needles.

A full lip tattoo or just the outline? First the lip design will be drawn onto your lips so you can confirm that you are happy with both the shape and design.

Lidocaine is usually used as a numbing agent

Lip tattooing takes between one and three hours and, yes, it can hurt, despite the numbing agent applied.

You should decide what kind of tattoo you’re looking for, and whether it should be on the outside or inside of your lips – and have an idea of what shade of which colour you would like

Semipermanent means that the tattoo does fade with time, especially if you smoke or if you spend a lot of time in the sun. You may even need a touch up every few months, but when you get a lip tattoo, the collagen in your lips is enhanced, along with elasticity. This gives the appearance of a fuller lip, and that fullness will last for as long as the colour.

Lip tattooing is suitable for most ages and lifestyles

A new tattoo can take up to two weeks to heal. Healing means redness, swelling and scabs, and perhaps some itchiness. Ice and cold compresses help, and so does petroleum jelly, but you should really avoid extreme workouts, and even kissing, for a few months, while your lips heal.
