LIP BLUSH
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent tattoo that can enhance the color and shape of your lips and give the impression of more fullness. This is done by depositing color ink into your lips and along your lip line to improve the overall look. The color is subtle to give natural-looking results. Lip blushing generally lasts 1-3 years before requiring a periodic touch-up. The duration varies based on factors like skin-type, lifestyle, and the color of the pigment. By sticking to our permanent makeup aftercare instructions, you will maximize the appearance of your lip blushing overtime.

Who Should Avoid Lip Blush?
Those prone to keloids or post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. Unfortunately, since Lip Blush punctures the skin as we add ink, we cannot work with clients with these conditions.
Diabetes. Depending on the type and severity, a Medical clearance may be needed.
Are on blood-thinners. We recommend not to be on any blood thinners prior to your Lip Blush procedure. If this is required by a physician DO NOT discontinue to take your medication. Speak with your artist about an alternative. Depending on the blood thinner and how frequently taken we may just suggest a different technique to give you still a beautiful result.
If you have any Auto-immune issues. We will need a medical clearance to perform the procedure.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy. Although Lip Blush is great for restoring your lip color, we would require a doctor’s note in order to perform the procedure for anyone undergoing chemotherapy.
If you have any kind of skin condition on or near your Lips. This includes eczema, shingles, rashes, or anything around the area.
History of cold sores. We REQUIRE you to be on an antiviral (such as Valtrex) as a precaution to avoid an outbreak. This will need to be prescribed to you by your general physician. Take l-lysine as instructed before your appointment.
Those with allergies to alcohol or numbing agents. If you think you might have an allergy to our ink, numbing cream, or alcohol (which is in the ink), then you may have a reaction to our work.
Day 1-7:
Keep re-applying YRY tattoo balm lip moisturizer to lips to keep them saturated throughout your entire healing process.
What to Expect When Your Lips Are Healing
Day 1: You love your new lips!
Days 2-3: The color will begin to darken temporarily as the pigment oxidizes and light scabs form.
Days 4-7: Your lips will begin flaking. DO NOT pick at any scabs. Allow healing to shed naturally.
Days 28+: It’s time for your perfecting visit! At this time your lips are fully healed and it is recommended that you come back in to re-inforce any lining that might have healed lighter than desired. Please be aware that 1-2 touch ups may be needed to acheive desired results.
Once healed, remember to always apply full spectrum sunscreen to your lips when in the sun to avoid premature fading of treatment.
A complete healing cycle takes 4-12 weeks depending on age and your body regeneration.
