Features and benefits of lip tattooing

When applying tattoo, it is necessary to preserve the natural color of the lips, but give them a brighter shade so that they remain harmonious on the face. Before the procedure, the beautician presents a sketch according to which you can choose the shape and color scheme for the lips. The most optimal option would be a natural color with a light shade (brown, coral, carrot, pink and scarlet). The beautician's arsenal includes a large number of pigment colors that can be selected taking into account the type of skin, the size and shape of the lips.
Before lip tattooing, the cosmetologist chooses the most suitable type of anesthesia, which is designed to relieve pain, swelling and bleeding. A properly selected preparation ensures quick removal of inflammation and skin restoration, and also maintains the quality of tattooing.
The duration of the procedure is about an hour, as a result the lips acquire an expressive contour with emphasis on the natural shape, pallor and blue are removed, the border of the lips gets a rich shade, and the volume of the lips can also be increased.
