I am allergic to makeup. If put anything on my eyes they swell and look like someone beat me. Not the look I am going for. So decided I would try permanently makeup.
Got my eyeliner tattooed on a week ago. Love the results, and healed fast!
Went in for permanent lips yesterday to the same place.
Getting lips tatooed hurts. I was leaking tears the entire time. It lasted about an hour. I was so glad when she put the gun down.
I was a bit apprehensive about getting this done because I have such small lips any change would be a big deal. Went in stating I wanted a natural look, and was assured that this would fade and look natural. After I left yesterday I felt instant regret. I just can not see how this will fade into anything natural. But, nothing I can do now but trust my swelling with subside, color will tone down, and I will not look like a clown!
My 9 yo daughter told me I probably should not leave the house, my husband can’t look at me with a straight face, and my 13 yo son is afraid to look at me at all!
As for me, I just bust out laughing when I look in the mirror. I look so ridiculous. Let’s hope tomorrow is better...

Ok, it has been 48 hours and the swelling has gone down considerably. Lips are starting to peel and it is taking all my willpower not to rip the dead skin off! I look like I have really red lipstick on, but I can go out in public without feeling too self conscious

Wow, today most of my lip has peeled away. Just have the lipliner left to go. They are still a bit swollen and tender, but getting back to normal much faster than I thought they would. I kind of look like I have a kool-aid mustache.

It will fade! The lips retain the least color.. it’s going to look beautiful once it heals

Not when overlined.

The lip skin is very different from the skin above the lip. Unfortunately most technicians are poorly trained in a 2 to 3 day class without understanding the anatomy of the lips and skin. A technician should NEVER over line the lips. This is because lip skin is a membrane type tissue with fewer layers. The lip skin fades significantly. However the skin above the lip usually will not. A touch up will not fix this. It looks good at first because of the swelling all over, but will always revert back to the kool aid look when the swelling fades. If you are unhappy with the look, you can get pigment removal on the skin above the lip and keep the lower lip skin color. I'm a tech, nurse and educator of PMU.
