Lip Blush
For fuller, more defined lips
Permanent lip color (or lip blush) is a new tattoo trend that leaves your lips naturally enhanced. Unlike lip tattoos of the past, lip blush gives you a soft watercolor look without sharp outlines. After the procedure, your lips will look fuller and younger without the hassle of lip injections.
​
A tiny pen-like machine using a tiny acupuncture needle is used to gently insert pixels of pigment into the lips to slowly build a nice natural lip color. This allows us to build the color gradually so we have full control over how bold you want your lips to be. It's a collaborative process!
