Precautions You Should Take Before and After Getting a Permanent Lip Tattoo

 

If you have decided to get a permanent lip tattoo, the process can be a little painful. If you’ve ever had a lip tattoo, you’ll know how much discomfort it can cause. There are many precautions you should take before and after the procedure, and the first is to avoid sun or chapped lips. To prepare your lips for the treatment, use a lip scrub or balm to remove dry skin and prep them for the treatment. Your lip will look a lot younger after the procedure, and the healing process will last for a few weeks.

It’s a good idea to get a permanent lip tattoo before getting a tan or sunburn. The first treatment can take an hour to an hour and a half. After the procedure, your lips will likely be sore and swollen, but they will begin to heal and the color will fade. You may also want to apply an aftercare ointment to the lips. This can be applied right after the image is completed. Aftercare procedures usually include avoiding sun exposure for two weeks, no tanning, and not sweating for 30 days.

Small Image ideas – Preparing Your Lips For a Permanent Lip tattoo

 

While getting a lip tattoo is an excellent idea for those who love the color of their lips, they should take time to prepare them before the procedure. During the appointment, a lip artist will use a lipstick or lip liner to map out the exact area to be inked. He will then apply a topical numbing cream to the lips. A mechanical gun is used to apply pigment to the lips. The entire process typically takes about an hour and a half. The color of the final result will fade by 50% after four weeks. In the first two weeks following the procedure, lips may be scabbed, but will heal naturally over the next month.
