At AKIRA STUDIO, lip tattooing typically involves two sessions. The color retention varies depending on several factors, such as individual skin condition and post-tattoo care. After the first session, the color might fade slightly as the skin heals, but a second session can be done to enhance and perfect the desired outcome.
How much color remains after the first session?
The first session is meant to lay a foundation for the lip color. Once the peeling process is complete, around 20-30% of the color will remain. The color intensity depends on several factors, such as the color used, the amount applied, the original lip color, the tattooist’s technique, and the quality of the tools and materials used.
How much color remains after the second session?
The second session usually takes place 60-90 days after the first one, allowing the initial color to set. After the second session and peeling, 70% or more of the color will stay. The color will gradually develop from the first month, becoming clearer by the third month. More than 90% of clients will achieve their desired color after the second session, though individuals with dark or unevenly pigmented lips may need a third session for the best results.
Who is lip tattooing suitable for?
Lip tattooing is a semi-permanent procedure using needles or specialized tools to apply pigment to the lips. It is ideal for those with dark, unevenly pigmented lips, or those whose lips appear pale or dull. It enhances the lips’ appearance, making them look healthier and reducing the need for frequent lipstick application. It’s also a good option for people who are allergic to lipstick or have asymmetrical lips, as the tattooing process can help define the lip line.
How long does the peeling process take after lip tattooing?
Peeling usually starts around the third or fourth day after tattooing and is typically completed within 5-7 days. The final color after peeling will be slightly lighter than the initially chosen shade. The exact peeling duration varies by individual, depending on the color used and the tattoo artist’s technique.
How long does lip tattoo color last?
Lip tattooing typically lasts 2-3 years with proper care, after which the color will gradually fade. The longevity of the color depends on the artist’s technique, the quality of the pigment and tools used, and post-tattoo care
