Many girls who go to lip tattoo for the first time are afraid that the pigment will not take root. This fear often arises because the masters do not tell what happens to the lips after the introduction of ink. But sometimes, it happens that the pigment is very pale or quickly washed out. We will explain why such situations arise and what to do if permanent makeup is not taken.
Lip Tattoo before after
How the pigment manifests itself when tattooing lips
If the master did everything correctly, then immediately after the procedure, the colour of the lips will be saturated. Then, in the first 3-4 days, the pigment will become even more vital. Sometimes, girls are even afraid that the tattoo will remain like this.
But there is no need to be frightened: a pronounced manifestation of pigment on the third or fourth day is normal. After complete healing, the brightness will fade, and the lips will retain a light, natural shade.
The final stabilisation of the colour occurs one month after the procedure. At this time, it is necessary to come for correction so that the master can check how the colour has taken root and, if necessary, correct the contour or slightly strengthen the shade.
After correction, the permanent is kept on the lips for several years. Ideally, it will just get a little paler over time until the pigment is entirely out of the skin.
What permanent makeup looks like normally
Why tattooing doesn’t doesn’t
There can be several reasons why permanent lip tattooing does not last. Sometimes, the pigment does not take root because of individual body characteristics. But this does not happen very often. Usually, the dye lies incorrectly due to a master’s lip blushing techniques, poor-quality materials, or improper care.Master’sMaster’s
The unprofessionalism of the master is one of the leading causes of bad tattooing. How it manifests itself:
- Traumatic technique. You can not enter the pigment too deeply; otherwise, rejection of the dye can occur. Ideally, there should not even be blood on the lips, only lymph. This is how the masters at the Cosmetic Tattoo Melbourne Centre of Aesthetics and Cosmetology work. We do permanent makeup accurately and delicately. Our clients note that they do not experience discomfort or pain in the process.
- Too superficial introduction of pigment. In this case, all the colour comes out of the skin very quickly. In Cosmetic Tattoo Melbourne esthetics, masters know the correct depth of introduction so as not to traumatise the delicate skin of the lips but at the same time so that the pigment is not lost after healing.
- Wrong choice of method. Most women suit the watercolour technique: it is soft, gentle and looks natural on the lips. But some masters continue to do bright colouring. It is dangerous because it can migrate to another colour and, over time, ‘float’ ‘beyond the boundaries of natural lips.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose a master who does not make such mistakes. In the Cosmetic Tattoo Melbourne Aesthetics Centre, all masters start working with clients only after carefully honing techniques to pick up the ideal colour. They take into account the girl’s data. Our masters always draw a sketch of the future tattoo in advance and coordinate it with the client.
Specialists of the Centre work in a soft watercolour technique, which emphasises the natural shape and only enhances the natural colour. You can be convinced of this by looking at the photos of already healed permanents.
Improper lip aftercare
However, even the high-quality work of the master does not guarantee a perfect result. Permanente can disappear due to improper care. If you do not follow the recommendations, then the tattoo can take spots or almost entirely come off. In this case, the rules of care are simple:
- For cosmetic tattooing, take root 1,5-2 hours after introducing pigment; gently wash the lips with a soap solution, chlorhexidine, or blot with miramistine. This will remove the accumulated lymph. If it remains, it will turn into a crust, which will allow the pigment to come off.
- For the first three or four days, you must constantly moisturise your lips with the remedy recommended by the master. Medical ointments, such as Bepanthen, are not necessary because permanent is not an operation and not a trauma. Healing agents can, on the contrary, contribute to the removal of pigment.
- Also, during the healing period, you should not apply lipstick and foundation to the lips. Washing off cosmetics can provoke a rapid exit of pigment. This happens because the dye is introduced into the upper layers of the skin during tattooing.
- During the healing period, the permanent can not be soaked. Tatuage is not taken if you go to the pool, bath, sauna, or bathe in the sea or river in the first few days after the procedure. Also, in the first week, you need to refrain from solariums and long stays under direct sunlight.
- Do not tear off the crusts that are formed on about the third day after tattooing. They should come off by themselves. If you do not follow the recommendation, you may get wounds, small scars and light spots on the lips where the crusts were.
Individual characteristics of the body
Disappearance of colour sometimes occurs due to the peculiarities of a woman. Among them:
- excessive lymphatic activity;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- hormonal changes or disorders;
- diabetes mellitus;
- poor blood clotting;
- fast metabolism.
If you have something from this list, it is better to tell the master about it even before the procedure. Separately, it is worth stopping herpes because of which permanent can also not be taken. Many girls are afraid that after tattooing, they will get a cold, which will spoil all the work. Therefore, after reading advice on the Internet, for five days before the procedure, take Acyclovir or other drugs against herpes.
We do not recommend this. Experience shows that sometimes pills, on the contrary, can provoke the virus. In this case, just on the day of the procedure, you will have a cold and will have to postpone the session.
Carrying out herpes prevention should be a minority, namely those women who regularly face the appearance of colds on the lips. However, even in this case, it is better to consult with the master in advance and take an antiviral drug immediately before tattooing, not in advance.
Use of poor-quality pigments
Bad pigments can also cause tattooing to not hold. For example, some colours contain large amounts of titanium dioxide. In its pure form, titanium dioxide is a white powder. Over time, the colour can come off, and only a white tint will remain on the lips; it looks like the foundation has been applied to the lips.
Also, permanent can migrate to another colour or not take root at all if low-quality, cheap materials are used. Therefore, always ask the master what he will do tattooing and whether it has quality certificates. Our masters are always ready to tell you what materials are used and show you the documents.
Also, in Cosmetic Tattoo Melbourne Esthetics by Olha Po, we use pure colours: even over time, they do not give extraneous shades and look natural. For lips, we most often use red. Some girls are afraid that it will be too bright, but after healing, it seems to have a light, translucent tint.
What to do if the permanent does not hold up
If lips lose colour or pigment light spots after tattooing, you need to contact the master and discuss all the nuances of the work. It is also important to go to the correction—the masters of the Cosmetic Tattoo Melbourne Aesthetics Centre consider the tattoo procedure completed only after it.
Why do you need correction? On it, the specialist checks the healed lips and, if necessary, makes the colour a little brighter or slightly changes the shade, corrects the shape of the permanent, and paints areas without pigment if they appeared during healing. In addition, tattooing, made in two procedures, is worn longer.
Reviews of the work of masters of the Centre of Aesthetics and Cosmetology Cosmetic Tattoo Melbourne by Olha Po
Grace: ‘Excellent salon! An outstanding master of permanent makeup, Xenia answered all my questions. There was no pain during the procedure, and the colour lay down nicely. ‘
Julia: ‘Good studio, great atmosphere. Olha Po and Anastasia Petkov is a pro and very warm-hearted. I like that all the masters are in favour of naturalness.
Sofia: ‘Finally, I decided to have my lips done. And I want to say that it is not scary and painful at all. It looks very natural, which is what I was aiming for. So I advise everyone to come in.
How to avoid unsuccessful lip tattooing
It is important to choose the right master to avoid wondering why the lip permanently does not take root and get a beautiful tattoo. He must work with quality materials and possess the correct technique. You can understand how professional the master is by his portfolio: there should be examples of cosmetic lip tattoos not only after the procedure but also after a couple of months and even better after a year.
