Procedure
Consultation
Step by Step
The Aquarelle lip procedure is precise and artistic. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:
1. Outline and Pigment Application
The cosmetic tattoo artist will use a modern tattoo machine to outline the lips and layer the pigment. This stage involves soft blending to fade the colour into the lips for a natural finish.
2. Custom Shade
No two people are the same, so the artist will work with you to create a custom shade for your natural lip tone and skin colour. Whether it’s a subtle boost or a more dramatic look, the shade will be perfect for you.
3. Comfort and Safety
To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing agent is applied before the procedure. Also, strict hygiene and safety protocols are followed, and only high-quality, sterile equipment is used.
4. Duration
The initial session is 2-3 hours long, which allows time for outlining, pigment layering, and refining the final result. A retouching appointment will follow to perfect.
Healing Process and Aftercare
Aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself. Proper care during this time will help the colour last longer and minimise complications.
Healing Stages
Day 1–2: Lips will be more colourful than expected and may be swollen. This is normal and part of the healing process.
Day 3–5: Flaking and peeling starts, and you’ll see a softer and more natural colour underneath.
Day 6–14: Colour settles into a uniform tone, more blended and subtle.
Aftercare Tips
No spicy food, acidic drinks or lip cosmetics during the healing phase.
Use a healing balm, recommended by your artist, to keep lips hydrated.
No direct sunlight and prolonged UV exposure.
By following these aftercare instructions, clients can prevent pigment loss, uneven healing or irritation and get the best results.
Retouch Session
A follow-up session is booked 6-8 weeks after the first treatment. This retouch is for:
- Colour correction and evenness.
- Fading areas.
- Saturation boost for longer-lasting results.
If you don’t get this session the initial results may not reach its full potential as the second application helps to lock in the pigment and perfect the final result.
How Long Does It Last?
Aqua lip tattoo longevity depends on the following:
Skin Type: Oily skin types will fade faster than dry or normal skin.
Lifestyle: Habits like frequent sun exposure, smoking or using exfoliating products will affect the longevity of the tattoo.
Aftercare: Proper aftercare is key to preserving the result. Clients who follow the aftercare routine will get longer-lasting colours.
Aquarelle Lips last 1-2 years. Touch-ups every 12-18 months will maintain the colour and integrity of the pigment.
