Technique
A Lip blush tattoo helps define and enhances the color of your lips. It is not a replacement of lipstick entirely because a healed lip blush will appear soft and natural in color. Unless of course you prefer a more concentrated lip color which we can build over time. As we age, the color of our lips tend to lose the youthful appearance of the natural pink tone. Lip blushing can help with adding color back in. This technique is also suitable for low grade hyperpigmentation or darkness around the lip line.
Contraindications: Determine if you’re a good candidate for Lip Blush by reading the candidacy list. Make sure you read the before and after care.
