Lip Blush Tattoo & How Cosmetic Tattoos Are Different

Lip blush tattoo is a term that is thrown around a fair amount so I thought it would be helpful to explain the differences in what lip blush actually is and how it’s a bit more complicated than simply saying it’s a “tattoo on your lip”.

Lip Blush Tattoo Myths

While both a lip tattoo and lip blush involve the delivery of pigments into the skin, most of the misconceptions revolve around the association with traditional tattooing; namely the pain and length of time it lasts. While pain is certainly relative, traditional tattoos can be painful indeed – especially in sensitive areas like the face. A lip blush ‘tattoo’ is not painful as it relates to what you’d expect, comparatively speaking. We provide numbing solutions to make sure you are comfortable and many report the sensations are perfectly manageable.

Another common misconception comes into play when people assume that like a traditional tattoo, you’ve got it essentially for life. While it’s true that lip blush does commonly last on average for about 2 years, this is a far cry from your typical ‘tattoo’. Understanding this matters because it speaks to:

1. Lip blush is an investment that aims to provide a ‘semi-permanent’ solution that lasts longer than most beauty services.

2. But it’s also flexible, adaptable to suit you specifically, and will eventually fade.

The reason I mention this is because people tend to be overwhelmed by it all. But in reality, this is a very reasonable and highly effective procedure that many would qualify for. Additionally, the fact that this does last for such a lengthy period does speak to the importance of having a trained artist performing this intricate service. This is why it’s not very common for cosmetologists to be working in tattoo shops. It requires a very specialized set of training and state licensure to keep you safe; which is why we at Lavish Cincinnati take safety and training seriously and Lavish artists are properly licensed.

Lip Blush Tattoo Overlaps

For starters, lip blush technically falls into a class of cosmetic tattoos that are available to be delivered by trained, licensed professionals.

Essentially, that is the extent that the more ‘traditional tattoo’ most think of has an overlap with the cosmetic lip blush ‘tattoo’.

The proper nomenclature for the more casual terminology of ‘lip blush tattoo’ is cosmetic tattooing, or semi-permanent makeup. The latter points to why this isn’t just semantics. When you think of lip blush, you are thinking of a service that provides some relief in some way as it relates to their beauty routine.
