It is a semi - permanent makeup procedure that is done with a machine and a very short needle. The pigment is implemented into the skin of the lip in a safe and gentle way, touching only the epidermis. It helps to bring more life to your lips by adding natural shade and restoring the shape if the lip borders are washed off.

Results will always vary from person to person, after your initial session and the touch up, your results should last between 2-5 years. Additional touch ups may be required depending on the person and look desired. Permanent makeup ink is not the same as body art ink, and by design it does not last as long as body art ink.

Pain levels vary from person to person. Strong medical grade topical anesthetic cream is used before and during your procedure to keep you as pain free as possible. 99% of my clients say it is not painful - just a soft needle pinch for the first 10-15 min.

The procedure takes about 2 hours. The consultation and prep work take a good portion of that time.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

If you are prone to cold sores, lip tattooing CAN 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 and 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.
