IMMEDIATELY AFTER The area might be swelling, minor bruising, and feel a bit sore, intense. This is normal and only lasts 1-2 days.
FIRST 24 HOURS CLEAN the area with sterile water wipes or wet cotton round with warm water every hour and pad dry the area to avoid fluid sits & form scabs. You may ice the area if it feels swollen with lip ice gel pack wrap in a napkin.
DAY 2-10 REMEMBER it’s an open & healing wound so infection can ruin the tattoo. APPLY A&D ointment every 30-60 minutes for the first week to keep your lips moisturized.
PLEASE NOTE : Once the procedure is completely healed, you may go back to your normal cleansing and makeup routine. After the scabs come off your tattoo may have MILKY/GRAY HUE to it & look DARKER. This is normal because the surface of the skin is healed but the underneath layers still need time to heal.
The complete healing process take 6 weeks, and the true & final color of the tattoo will bloom. Touch-up can only be done after
6 weeks!
Your tattoo will get softer & fade 30-50% when healed. Results will vary with each individual and depending on your skin type, aftercare & previous tattoo. It may take more than one session to achieve your desired result. Sunblock is recommended after the area is healed to protect from sun fading.
