So far, I am still really happy about my lip color. It looks quite natural and matches my skin tone.

Well, I guess there's just too much blue in my skin pigment and the nice pink shade darkened. I think now I'll wait for it to fade (1+ years) then tray more along the coral/red shades

Thank you! I'm not 100% pleased with the color but it is what it is - can't control my pigmentation and how it reacts to colors. I do love my lips though and that I just have to apply gloss and I don't worry after eating or swimming about reapplying lipstick!

I know it's great... I have had mine done about 6 yrs. Still have color but I think I want a touch up of a little redder or whatever they suggest color. I have a mauve color and I think it is too dark. Needs to be brightened up some. I just have to wait until I can afford it. I have had my eyes done and now I want my eyebrows done w/ Hair stroke method. Take care and glad you like it...

I am a tattooist and reading your comment here is just awful. If you are a very dark skinned person, yes blue can happen easily, but the technician should have added 2 drops of coral in the original pigment colour chosen. Go back, to someone else, and they may be able to go over it with a correction colour and take the blue away. Good Luck and be careful who you choose.

I wanted a lighter shade and a minor fix to even out the line on the right side.

I am still planning on this. The pain part puts me off though. How was the pain compared to last time? Thx!

For some strange reason, pain seemed ever so,slightly more intense. It's definitley not for the faint of heart

It is worth it though. But YES it hurtssssssssssssss. They will fade some in time so I wouldn't go any lighter. I have had mine done about 6 yrs. They syill have color but I am in the sun a lot and they have lightened from when I would forget to use protection on them. Shiny chap stick by Blistex is so much prettier than chap stick and stays better than lip gloss and still shines pretty but not to where my hair sticks in it. This should be worn always anyway....
