OLYMPIA'S PREMIER LASH AND BEAUTY BOUTIQUE! VOTED KING 5 NEWS BEST OF WESTERN WASHINGTON!

Lip blush tattoo

Lip Tattooing is a permanent, superficial solution to dull, lifeless lips that need color and shape. As we age or use dermal filler overtime, we lose the pigment in our lips resulting in a “receding lip line.” At Primp we love to help our clients create the perfect lip by enhancing shape, color, symmetry and youthfulness for their lips while keeping that natural appearance. Harsh liners, unnatural tones, & cold hues are all things of the past. Techniques we use could be compared to a watercolor or cotton candy; think of soft yet wholesome blush. Gently dispersed contour and play of shading techniques create fullness and kissable roundness. The most natural and realistic results with little to no downtime. Lips are currently one of the most sought after PMU procedures behind Microblading Eyebrows. Results last 2-5 years and fade softly into the natural lip. This is the perfect wakeup and go service…just a swipe of chapstick or gloss and you’re all set with the perfect pout!

• Day 1: Lips will be bold and some swelling and/or bruising is possible. Wipe lips with wet cotton rounds for the first 24 hours after the procedure. This will remove any lymph and prevent scabbing. Do not let these fluids build up on your lips as it may slow healing and be painful. Do not apply healing balm in the first 24 hrs as this will cause more fluids to build up and may cause scabbing.

• Days 2-7: Cleanse lips am/pm and apply aftercare balm with clean hands or a Q-Tip. You may apply balm as often as you like, but remember that this is a new tattoo and should be cared for like an open wound. Do not touch with unwashed fingers.

• Lips will feel dry and some mild shedding will occur up until day 7.

• DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring, loss of pigment, or infection.

• Color will be quite intense following the procedure but will soften 30-60% after the first 3-5 days .

• Arnica tablets can help to control swelling after the procedure. Some swelling and mild bruising is common and may last up to 2 days.
