Although getting an inner lip tattoo is a fad, the cosmetic procedure that applies pigment into the skin using micropigmentation as a way to eliminate the need for daily applications of liner and lipstick is classic.
What’s involved in a lip tattoo procedure?
- a lip liner defines and shapes but doesn’t fill-in the lip
- a liner and a blush that defines, shapes and fills the entire lip
Filling-In The Lips
To define the mouth with a cosmetic lip tattoo eliminates lip liner but doesn’t replace lipstick. Micropigmentation experts use a feathering/blush technique to fill the lip with a natural color so a woman’s lips are lined and shaded. A permanent lip tattoo, for busy professionals who need to look their best everyday with minimal effort, is ideal.
Why do women choose the lip procedure over eye tattooing?
While many opt to have the 3 main procedures, one of the favorite ones is the lip enhancement because the mouth, more so than the eyes, shows the effects of age as the lips tend to become thin. Many procedures that line and fill lips with color also offer volumizing, and the combination of a defined shape, and plumping, gives a fresh youthful lift to the face.
Is It Safe?
Yes. If you’re leery about the procedure due to fear of infection, take note that with proper lip tattoo aftercare, a good moisturizer and especially a qualified technician to do the initial work, most ladies have no problems. If you’re healthy, don’t take medications contraindicated for getting tattoo lip liner and fill, then you should contact a micropigmentation clinic and how you can eliminate the need for liners and lipsticks.
How long does a lip tattoo last?
A micropigmentation procedure is permanent. Pigments will remain in the skin forever, but cosmetic tattooing is rich and bright for about a year and a half (without touch-ups), and with a refresher, for about 5 years.
How much do lip tattoos cost?
A cosmetic lip color tattoo procedure starts at around $400 and goes up to $700+ depending on the technician’s experience, the clinic and the region you live in.
