LIP BLUSHING

A semi-permanent tattoo designed to subtly enhance the natural shape and color of your lips. Using ultra-fine needlework and custom pigment blends, this technique adds soft, diffused color for a more even, fuller-looking pout without the need for filler.

Ideal for clients seeking long-lasting, low-maintenance color with a barely-there finish. Every service is tailored to your lip tone and desired look. The service Includes a custom color consultation, lip mapping/numbing, application, and a personalized aftercare plan. The result is a fresh tint that restores definition, neutralizes uneven tone, and wakes up your natural lip.

WHAT TO EXPECT

WHAT IS LIP BLUSHING?

Lip blushing is a form of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing that enhances the natural shape, color, and definition of your lips using a sheer wash of pigment. It doesn’t add volume, but it creates the illusion of fuller, more even lips.

WILL IT LOOK NATURAL?

Yes. We specialize in soft, diffused color that enhances without overpowering. The goal is “your lips, but better”—restored tone, balanced edges, and a healthy tint that looks effortless.

RECOMMENDED BEFORE BOOKING

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours prior. Stay hydrated and exfoliate your lips gently the day before. If you’re prone to cold sores, begin antiviral medication 2–3 days ahead.

Lip blushing is not recommended for those who are pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions. If you’ve ever had a cold sore, you’ll need to pre-medicate with an antiviral. A full list of pre- and post-care instructions is provided before your appointment.

DURATION OF PIGMENT

Results typically last 2–3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. A touch-up is recommended at 6–8 weeks to perfect the shape and tone.

DOWNTIME

Expect 5–10 days of healing. Color will appear more vibrant at first, then soften as the lips heal. Swelling is usually minimal and subsides within 24–48 hours.

CURIOUS IF YOU ARE A GOOD CANDIDATE?

This service requires an in-person consultation before booking service. You can book this consultation with the studio via email or phone. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
