Lip blushing is a cosmetic tattooing technique that involves depositing colored pigment into the lips' skin to create a fuller, more defined, and enhanced appearance. At Silk Lash Lounge, your Artist can correct uneven shapes, even out natural color, and add color to spots that are lacking, providing a more symmetrical and vibrant look to your lips. Lip blushing can give your lips a subtle pop of color or a more dramatic effect, depending on your preferences, and it is an excellent option for those looking to improve the appearance of their lips without the need for constant reapplication of lip products. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty and provide a long-lasting solution for beautiful, full lips.
At Silk Lash Lounge, our lip blushing services typically last anywhere from 2-4 years, depending on your lifestyle and individual skin type. Factors such as sun exposure, smoking, exfoliation, cold sores and dry lips can affect the longevity of your lip blushing. We recommend a touch-up session every 1-2 years to maintain the vibrancy and shape of your lip blushing. We use high-quality pigments and employ advanced techniques to ensure that your lip blushing remains beautiful and vibrant for an extended period. If you have any concerns or questions about the maintenance of your lip blushing, please feel free to contact us for personalized guidance and recommendations.
Yes, you do. The second session is crucial in ensuring that your Lips have the perfect shape, color, and density. During the first session, your Artist will create a base layer for your Lip Blushing, which will serve as the foundation for the final results. The second session is where we will make any necessary adjustments and touch-ups to achieve the desired look. Skipping the second session may result in uneven or patchy lips that do not match your skin tone or hair color. At Silk Lash Lounge, we want to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your lip blushing, which is why we include your first follow-up appointment for FREE. This free touchup must be completed within 6-10 weeks after your initial session. If you don’t schedule within that time frame you will forfeit the free service and any touch-up after 10 weeks will be charged the full touch up price of $150.

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.

If you have an outbreak, or any other type of scratch/acne we ask that you reschedule your appointment as soon as possible.
The level of discomfort experienced during the procedure varies from person to person as everyone has a different pain tolerance. At Silk Lash Lounge, we use a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. While some clients may experience slight discomfort, most report feeling little to no pain during the process. Your experienced Artist is trained to work quickly and efficiently while maintaining a high level of comfort for our clients. After the procedure, clients may experience some swelling and redness in the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few days. Your Artist will provide aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimal discomfort. Overall, cosmetic tattooing is a relatively painless procedure with minimal discomfort. Our team at Silk Lash Lounge is committed to providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all of our clients.
At Silk Lash Lounge, the healing process of lip blushing typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks. After the procedure, it is normal for the lips to appear darker and more intense in color, and you may also experience some swelling and tenderness. Over the next few days, the color will soften and lighten, and any initial swelling will subside. It's important to keep the treated area clean and avoid any products that may interfere with the healing process, such as makeup or harsh cleansers. Additionally, it's crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our professional technicians to ensure proper healing and optimal results. If you have any concerns or questions during the healing process, feel free to reach out to our team for support and guidance.

Aftercare MUST be taken seriously. If you fail to take proper care of your new lip blush, complications such as infections, prolonged healing and patchiness may occur, all of which will effect the final result of your cosmetic tattoo.

Drink through a straw for the first few days to avoid direct contact with drinks.
