"Natascha performed my lip blushing this past weekend. She was lovely, professional and very sweet. Explained everything very detailed, which helped calm my nerves for the tattoo. She stopped multiple times to ensure I was okay and overall it was just a great experience. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for cosmetic tattooing. She made my experience fun, smooth and stress free."

We have to stick to tattooing within the vermillion border of the lips, right where your lip skin meets your face skin. if we Stray beyond, you might end up with results resembling smudged lipstick. However, extending lip color to the vermillion border can give the illusion of fuller lips, since lip color tends to fade before reaching this border naturally.
You can absolutely get tattooed even if you're prone to cold sores. However, it's crucial to take medication like Valtrex for 5 days before and after the procedure to prevent any outbreaks. Cold sores during healing can lead to uneven or minimal pigment retention. Protecting your new tattoo is key!
Honestly, either choice works. What's key is having a solid six weeks between each service. Our suggestion? go for lip filler first, wait six weeks after your final appointment before booking lip blushing.
Our focus is on achieving the most natural look imaginable, which means we tailor our colors to complement your natural lip tones. Our aim is to enhance, brighten, or gently adjust the color to achieve a more noticeable and defined appearance by the end of your session.
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that is used to add color and definition to the lips. First, we gauge the desired shape and select the perfect pigments to enhance + accentuate your natural shade. Then, the pigment is applied to your lips with a tattoo machine, utilizing safe + proper technique.
With results ranging from subtle tinting and smooth color consistency to improved definition, our lip artists make it easy to achieve a vibrant and healthy look that lasts.
With all the semi-permanent cosmetic services we provide at Inkvictus Studios, we take great care to promote a relaxing and comfortable experience. Most individuals describe the experience as mild or moderate discomfort. Of course, pain is a subjective experience, and depending on tolerance levels, the amount of perceived discomfort varies from individual to individual.
When lip blushing is done by an expert who has an advanced understanding of the correct application technique + depth, pain is further minimized. Each of our artists has years of hands-on expertise, offering gentle precision and flawless results.
After the lip enhancement is complete, you may experience mild tenderness and/or swelling for a few days. We’ll walk you through the step-by-step aftercare instructions, providing all necessary materials, to promote better color adherence and reduced discomfort while healing.
Lip blushing can last for 1-3 years, depending on factors like skin tone, aftercare, + other lifestyle factors. To extend the lifespan of your lip enhancement, our lip blushing services come with an aftercare kit and a complimentary touch-up within 12 weeks.
