⁣• If you have previous cosmetic tattooing on lips.

⁣• If you are under a doctor’s care & have concerns about being able to have this procedure, it is your responsibility to meet with your doctor & get written approval.

** Please note, even if none of the above apply, lip blushing cannot be guaranteed. This is a cosmetic tattooing procedure, the skin can be unpredictable, & it is up to your skin to retain the pigment. Generally, results are successful, however, due to skin type, healing or bleeding during procedure, some results can vary**

If you have hyperpigmentation on your lips (dark spots, purples, or blues) you will need to first get a lip neutralization.

Lip neutralization is lip blushing but for color correction, it is the first step needed before implanting a color pigment. This first neutralization process does not fully define or add color to the lips, it neutralizes the dark/cool tones in the lips to set a foundational base for color.
Color will be deposited and lip definition will created at your second session. (Assuming first neutralization worked and you don’t need a 2nd).

The procedure takes about 3 hours. The consultation & prep work take some time. After we have discussed your concerns drawn out a shape that we have agreed on your procedure will begin. Numbing cream will be applied for 20-30 mins then we will start the process.

Pain levels vary from person to person. Strong medical grade topical anesthetic cream is used before & during your procedure to keep you as pain-free as possible.

This is up to the look each individual is trying to achieve. The colors we tattoo with are natural and intended to look very natural. We can enhance your natural color or add color if you’re lacking, or add a specific tint that you’re looking for, but it remains soft and natural. That way when you do decide to change it up and want to wear lipstick it will still look great over top, and can cover you tattoo with whatever color we decide to use.

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT:
⁣• Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, vitamin E, niacin, or drink excessive alcohol at least 48 hours prior to and after your procedure.

⁣• Do not take any prescription blood thinners at least 48 hours prior to and after your procedure.

⁣• Discontinue any vitamin A skin care products (Retin-A, retinols) close to the enhancement area at least two weeks prior to your procedure. **I recommend NOT using these products over or around the tattooed area after you receive your cosmetic tattoo. It could cause fading and distortion of color.**

⁣• Discontinue use of AHA (chemical exfoliation) skin care products close to the area to be tattooed at least one week prior to your procedure.

⁣• No laser or electrolysis on or around the treatment area one week prior to procedure.

⁣• No Botox or fillers in the procedure area less than one week prior.

⁣• Plan trips or events a minimum of 14 days after the procedure. Due to unwanted elements Limit the amount of caffeine you consume the morning of your appointment.

⁣• Do not have any chemical peels, dermabrasion, mesotherapy, or any other intense treatments which will cause faster skin cell rejuvenating and cause skin irritation 3-4 weeks before procedure.

⁣• If you have been on prescription Accutane in the past, you MUST wait at least one year before considering this procedure.

⁣• It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a new tan or a sunburn, you will need to reschedule and will forfeit your booking fee. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it.

⁣• Bring in your favorite lip color if you have a specific color your wanting to achieve

⁣• If you have existing cosmetic tattooing you need to contact me BEFORE booking your appointment.

If you are prone to cold sores, lip tattooing WILL cause outbreaks, which can result in loss of pigment.

We ask that our clients take their prescribed anti-viral medication starting 48 hours prior to their appointment & after the procedure to prevent outbreak.

You can still have lip blushing done!!!
We just want to ensure you get the best results possible.

Consult with your doctor for any additional questions. If you have an outbreak, or any other type of scratch/acne we ask that you reschedule your appointment as soon as possible. If you show up with any type of outbreak your appointment is considered cancel and you forfeit your deposit.

This service is not recommended for smokers. The heat will affect the healing and in most cases the pigment will not retain. Smoking also causes hyperpigmentation in the lips and lip blushing cannot color correct on active smokers.

If you have any hyperpigmentation, sores, or upset skin around the outside of the lips this procedure is not recommended as the pulling and stretching while tattooing can irritate the skin and cause more harm than good.
