What’s the lip blushing?
Lip Blushing is a semi-permanent tattoo that can enhance the color and shape of your lips and give the impression of more fullness. This is done by depositing color ink into your lips and along your lip line to improve the overall look. The color is subtle to give natural-looking results. Generally, results can last from 12 to 24 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how often you get touch-ups.
Important
Follow these instructions for 10 days (day 1 is when you receive your tattoo)
Always wash your hands before touching or cleaning your lips.
*Apply the ointment (Vaseline will be fine) regularly using a clean, disposable cotton bud/Q- tip. Do not splash-wash your face.
*Clean your lips twice daily with damp cotton pads (using sterile water). If your lips get wet accidentally, gently pat the area dry using a clean tissue.
*Do not apply makeup on your lips or near your lips for a minimum of 5 days.
Avoid spicy/salty foods for at least 3 days.
Drink only through a straw for 3 days.
No kissing for a minimum of 5 days to prevent infection.
Do not participate in any skincare/beauty treatments for a minimum of 5 days after your tattoo. *If you suer or have ever sured from cold sores, use an anti-herpes medication (such as Zovirax) 5 times daily for a period of 1 week, or Acyclovir tablets a few days before and after your tattoo.
*If a cold sore outbreak does occur, it will generally begin on day 3 of the healing process. This is not caused by your tattoo or your artist. Herpes lies dormant in the nervous system forever and can reappear if you are exposed to trauma.
* Remember, your selected color will be stronger and more sharply defined immediately after your tattoo.
*The next day, your lips will appear darker in color. After the skin has flaked/peeled away from your lips (during days 3-5) your lips will appear as if little or no color is present. This is normal and part of the healing process.
In the 3 weeks following this, the color will blossom into a considerably softer version of the original color. The approximate healing period is 14 days, however, healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised or if you are generally stressed, or by poor diet. Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of color is to be expected. This is why we recommend a touch-up appointment – allowing us to fine-tune your lip tattoo.
*Do not expose your lips to direct sunlight, tanning treatments, jacuzzis, saunas, saltwater, chlorinated pools, or direct shower spray.
*Do not bleach, wax, perform electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments close to your lips.
*Do not use lip-plumping products. Do not receive lip filler/enhancements.
**Long Term Care**
ーUse sunscreen on your lips every day. Sun exposure will gradually fade your lip tattoo.
ーKeep your lips hydrated 24/7. If you are planning a chemical peel, laser, or IPL/hair removal on your face, or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of your lip tattoo.
ーPlease inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you may not be eligible to give blood for 4 months post-application
Healing Process
The healing process is unique for every individual, but here are some general guidelines.
Days 1 – 4:
During the first 4 days of healing, beginning immediately after your tattoo, you may experience the following symptoms
ーSwelling and redness
ーTenderness
ーFlaking
ーMild itchiness
ーDry skin (may remain for up to 3 weeks)
Days 3-5:
ーLight flaking/peeling of the skin on the lips will begin during days 3-5.
ーDO NOT PICK, PEEL OR RUB your lips as this may prematurely remove color which will cause your lips to heal unevenly. Allow the color to flake away by itself.
