TIPS ON TATTOOING LIPS

                                                          TIPS ON TATTOOING LIPS


1.) If there is a pronounced VERMILION BORDER, do not tattoo on it or above it.
2.) Do not tattoo a white or skin tone line around the lips. If the client has a laser at a later date, the lip line is     likely to turn black.
3.) If your clients have a lot of wrinkles above the top lip, or underneath the lower lip, fill them in with Vaseline before you start tattooing. This will prevent the pigment from spreading into them.
4.) If a client has a natural blue tint to the lips, do not use a pigment containing blue, such as FUSHIA.  Keep the colour bright and with an orange base.
5.) Do not be persuaded to use fashion colours. Lips can be a few shades darker then the natural colour, but must be the same TONE. This will allow the client to apply lipstick according to fashion trends, if she wants to. If the tattooed colour is too dark the colour will be restrictive.
