Lip blush aftercare

Keep your lips moisturised throughout the healing process. Apply the after care cream a minimum of three times a day.
After the initial 24-hour period, use sterile water or saline solution to wash your lips. After washing dry the area and then apply the aftercare cream.
Maintain good hygiene during the healing period. Always use a fresh cotton bud when applying the aftercare cream. Get a fresh pillow case and towel.
Avoid hot and spicy foods. Drink hot or dark drinks through a straw.
Avoid sauna sessions, gym workouts, swimming pools, and tanning during the healing period.

Are there any risks or side effects of lip tattooing?

Infection. We always follow strict hygiene practices, use sterile, disposable, single use equipment, and provide appropriate aftercare instructions to minimise the risk of infection. Certain health conditions may cause prolonged healing and during that period people affected can be more susceptible to pick up infections. That’s why the consultation is so important, so we can advise our clients on having a safe and pleasant treatment journey.
Swelling. After the procedure, it is normal to experience some swelling or discomfort in the lip area. This usually subsides within a day. It’s important to follow proper aftercare instructions to support healing.
Allergic reactions. Some people may be allergic to pigments or products used during the treatment. During the consultation we will patch test to avoid any reactions during the treatment.
Colour fading or pigment migration. Over time the colour will fade, this is normal and expected. Colour boost treatment can be scheduled to refresh the lip pigment colour every 12 or 24 months. If clients don’t mention certain conditions or medication, there is a risk of pigment migration, where the pigment may travel outside the intended area, causing blurring or uneven look. This is why we ask for the medication or health conditions on the consultation forms, to avoid any complications.
Scarring. This can happen if the healing process is disrupted by picking or scratching. Never pick on the flaking off skin, let it heal on its own.

Can I choose any colour for my lip blush tattoo?

There is a wide range of colours available for lip tattooing, but there are certain limitations that you need to consider. The most important factor is the colour of your natural lips. If your lips are darker, or have cool tones like bluish, brown or purple, they will need to be neutralised first, before we go ahead with the target colour. These natural lips also need warmer shades like coral and should avoid purple or pink colours.

If your natural lips are pale or lighter in colour, you can consider a wider choice of shades from red, cooler pink, mauve and many more.
