What Is a Lip Tattoo?

A cosmetic lip tattoo is a treatment that involves inserting pigments beneath the surface layer of the skin of your lips. It can be done in several styles, from the opaque permanent lipstick, shape-perfecting permanent lip liner, to the sheer pop of color through lip blushing or aquarelle lips.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Lip Tattoo?

Anyone who likes wearing lipstick but doesn’t like the hassle of applying it several times a day. Also, women who want to add some volume to their lips. The lip tattoo won’t do as much as lip fillers, but it will definitely make your lips look fuller.

A special technique called dark lip neutralization was designed to warm up the color of melanin-rich lips and even out their tone.

Permanent lipstick is also great for uneven lips. It will hide any shape imperfections and make the lips more symmetrical.

Can Lip Blush Neutralize Dark Lips?

Dark lips are a pretty common and harmless thing, but some people just want to get rid of the dark spots, especially if they are a result of trauma, smoking, or some other factor. Even though it is easy to cover it up with lipstick, some people don’t want it there and feel insecure when they want to go makeup-free.

Why Do People Get Dark Lip Neutralization?

There are 2 basic reasons why people have dark lips. The first one is genetics, i.e. ethnic lips.

Now you know that DERMANENT thinks there’s nothing more beautiful than your natural self. But we also believe in the power of the PMU industry to fix anything you may see as an imperfection if you truly believe it’ll make your life better. So we say, think about it, and if you really feel like you’ll be happier getting lip blushing for dark lips, go for it.

The second one is some type of trauma caused to the lips, for example, injury, lack of vitamins, hormone imbalance, certain medications, too much caffeine or smoking, etc.

How Does Lip Blushing on Dark Lips Work?

So, lip blush is basically done in two sessions. The first one is the initial tattooing and after the lips are healed, 6-8 weeks after the treatment, a touch up is needed. This is how it is usually done. But dark lip neutralization, especially ethnic lips, usually requires more sessions to achieve satisfying results.

While lip blush is done by coloring the lips, neutralization is needed for lip blushing on dark lips. The first step is to neutralize cool tones and lift the darkness of lips with the help of warm-based pigment.

After the lips are neutralized and healed, a target color can be added if you want it.

Dark lips neutralization is not an easy task to do. It should be done by a skilled and certified lip blush artist, who has experience in lip blushing on dark lips and knows the color theory inside out.

Does It Work on Everyone?

Some people are not good candidates for dark lip neutralization. Those who have excessive lip hyperpigmentation can end up getting even darker lips after the treatment.

That is why most artists don’t want to work on melanin-rich lips. This requires a lot of knowledge and skill, and only highly trained artists are able to do it successfully.

So be careful if your lips are hyperpigmented – lip blushing may do more damage than good.

How Long Does Lip Blushing on Dark Lips Last?

Lip blush can last up to 5 years, but lip blushing on dark lips lasts shorter – its lifespan is 1-2 years. After that, a color refreshment is needed, because the dark spots are going to show back up.
