Scabs are tough, they catch on everything, even tiny hairs on scarf. Last piece came off day 7, would have like them on a couple more days but to be honest, was a relief to have them gone. Scar is deeper than I expected, hopefully it will fill in, May need to see plastic surgeon on a filler. Was initially vertical deeper pink, now not much darker than original lip liner so am confident this procedure didn't make it worse. Cannot tell if permanent makeup is gone completely since scarf is so new and pink. Using bio oil/ vitamin a, e, and d creams by day, scarf guard at night. Will post in a few days when I attempt to use concealer. Right now staying make up free since area still tender and healing.

Please also use sunscreen as soon as there is no open skin. The sun can cause the scar material to darken, especially in the early months.

I don't now what it looked like originally with the tatoo on but I think it looks pretty good. you can hardly notice anything.

ive had the same thing happen with liner applied too high. Been looking for ppl with recent experience in this type of removal. Many of them never have photos or updates, so thank you for posting this with pics. It's been a few more months since the last update so I am hoping to find out how much more you've healed since February post. If you don't want to post online I can give you my email if you'd like. I've been covering up my line with makeup everyday for almost 10 years (the real kicker is that I got it so that I wouldn't need to buy/use anymore lip liner makeup) and am just growing more & more tired of the daily coverup combined with the fact that I never want to swim, sweat, kiss or eat in front of people. A decade of coverup is wearing on me. So please let me know if you want and I'll send my email address. You looked great in Feb, and healing well from the pics. I'd love to see the progress made until August ☺️ Thank you again for your post, it's really helpful for those of us looking for the same things.

Hi, Did you ever find a solution for removal of your lip line? I too have one too high. It's only been 2 years but it's even more noticeable now that the actual lip color is gone. It's exhausting to deal with :( The person who did it wants to use Vanish but it doesn't look like just some minor thing and why would I want to go to someone who messed me up in the first place

Eeewww, scab is starting to come off, naturally and by accidently brushing against it - like when my nose itched and oops, darn, I have no itch discipline. Looks like a lighter scab is forming underneath the areas where the ridiculously thick scab areas cracked and came off. Maybe that will help reduce scarring. Unfortunately, can't tell if ink is being removed because the color was so close to that of a freshly torn scab.

LaTrec...just to be clear...proper tattooing of the lip (permanent cosmetics) doesn't require going as deep as injecting any filler. When properly done the pigment is implanted in the 1st layer of the dermis. Which is technically the 5th layer. The epidermis has 4 layers which are schluffed off every month about 1 layer per week give or take a few days. That is why it is necessary to surpass the epidermis...which isn't very deep. When tattooing the lips my needle only extends outside of the machine a little less than the width of a nickle. So being properly trained in permanent cosmetics, and working with plastic surgeons for the last 14 years is the reason I say both injectables and permanent cosmetics are acceptable to do even on people who exhibit the symptoms of Herpes simplex 1...just get the meds and everyone can be happy.

Thank you for your input. I hope to get my lips tattooed in the future Sept 2015. Currently working with newly tattooed eyebrows.
