Lip Color

Tattoed Lip Colors Columbus Ohio

Tired of your lip color transferring? How about the lack of a defined lip line? This cosmetic tattoo procedure, for semi-permanent lip color, will solve those issues. 

The service is very similar to that of tattoo. A custom color and shape will be made for you. You can decide between lip blushing which looks like a lip tint or full lip color which looks more statured like lipstick.

Lips have a tendency to fade up to 60% and color can hide for a 6 week period before resurfacing. Lips will always require a sun block due to photosensitivity. Direct sun and tanning beds, on a pigmented area, should be avoided at all costs.

During healing you must avoid the following:

  • Teeth bleaching for a minimum of 3 weeks.

  • Try not to wipe your lips with a napkin while eating, for 2 weeks.

  • Drink through a straw — even hot coffee or tea, for the first 2 weeks.

  • Also, if you are a smoker of any kind the pigment may not stay the tones and saturation as intended. It is not recommended to get this service if you are a smoker.

  • You could experience more discomfort than normal, during your appointment, if you have or are about to begin your menstrual cycle. 

Please note: If you have a history of cold sores, canker sores, and/or fever blisters on the lips, chin or nose- you will require a prescription of 24 capsules of 500 mg Valtrex from your physician. (12 for the initial procedure and 12 for the touchup, to avoid two co-pays) These can be taken 2 times a day, two days before tattooing and four days after, or as otherwise prescribed.

💖For best results during your appointment please have extremely hydrated lips. This may require you to apply a Vaseline/Aquaphor ointment on them 5 to 7 days before your appointment. Applying this before bed can help hydration as well as the tattoo application immensely. Every few days you may also exfoliate your lips slightly with an at home lip scrub.

👄Lip Scrub •mix 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and organic honey, add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and a ½ tablespoon of lukewarm water all together and walla✨👄

•For best results afterward, it is ideal to use a coconut oil/Shea butter frequently to keep your lips as moist as possible. I have an spf stick made with shea butter I’m obsessed with for sun exposure.

Also, drink plenty of water and continue taking any medications as directed by your physician. 

•I also recommend taking a non-drowsy Benadryl or another non-blood thinning antihistamine. Working on the face can cause small vibrations near your sinus cavity and this may cause sneezing, watery eyes and a runny nose.

What They Say About Us

This was my very first experience with tattooing and Mandi was wonderful. From my initial inquiry, timely communications, thorough instructions for before & after the eyeliner applied, and contacting me afterward. The salon was clean, comfortable, & nice decor. Mandi is a true professional making sure you understand the process and that you are comfortable during it. I love my eyeliner it makes my eyes pop. Thank you! Next up eyebrows

I came in to have my eyebrows microbladed. My niece is training under, Mandi, the owner. All workers wore protective gear. Mandi spent time reviewing what was being done to me with the perfect amount of critique. The shop is just the right amount of chic. I walked the four floors to the shop although there is an elevator. Check the place out.
