TATTOO LIPS

    Like most things in life they are not quite the way we would choose, we ether put-up with the problem and complain or we can do something about the problem, of course some things we have no control over. Having thin lips is not the worst thing in the world. But I have never liked my lips, they are narrow and very uneven the edge is not very defined. I had fat from my stomach put into my lips by Dr.Saran, the effect will last for about 30> months. It did not alter the uneven outline.

 I went to:

Elk Beauty Lounge

141 Disney Street

Crib Point 3919

With the help of Karyn she showed me that tattooing my lips could make then look the way I wanted. Karyn spent 45min. in marking out the profile of my lips, taking many photos so she could get the desired effect that I was wanting.

    The processing of having the tattooing did not seen painful to me just uncomfortable. If you have had electrolysis the pain level is about half. If you are very sensitive to pain then I would surges you take some painkillers about 45min. before the procedure.

   First Karyn cleaned my lip airier and then began tattooing. There is not much to say as you just are lying while she does the work, there is a couple of sensitive spots in the center of the lips that will keep you awake, for the rest it is only a matter of lying not talk as this may have unwanted consequences.

    After care is very important for the four days keep the lips clean and dry (eg. water coffee toothpaste) use a straw when drinking. Use a good antiseptic cream and keep plenty on the lips to stop drying out and splitting. One that Karyn recommends is Bepanthen Cream with Benzalkonium Chloride as a component.

    The one thing I do recommend is that you only go to someone that you have heard gives good results. Cleanliness is important as the risk of infection is always there plus if you are not happy with the results you are stuck. Fortunately Karyn has lived up to her excellent reputation.

     I’ve included photos supplied by Karen of my lips before and immediately after tattooing. I will update photos as time goes on. As you can see the lips are a little swollen but that went by about 24 hours.
