Tattooing is a complex and responsible procedure, the effect of which directly depends not only on the availability of the necessary professional equipment and material, but also on the professionalism of the artist.

There are many different techniques for lip tattooing. But in all cases, the procedure consists of six stages:
- lips are cleaned of cosmetics and disinfected with an antiseptic;
- the mouth is covered with a special cream, which is distinguished by its analgesic effect;
- disinfect the skin;
- using a tattoo machine equipped with a sterile needle, contour lines are applied;
- using tools of different diameters, carefully pigment the remaining unpainted areas;
- at the end of the procedure, the treated area is wiped again with a sterile napkin and an ointment that has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect is applied to the treated areas.
How is eyebrow tattooing done?
The eyebrow tattoo procedure consists of a number of stages:
- The master and the client select the shape of the eyebrows.
- The eyebrow area is treated with antibacterial soap, after which the areas are wiped with an antiseptic substance.
- A weak color pattern is applied.
- The tone is gradually enhanced by dark pigment to the optimal limit.
- In chipped areas, the skin is disinfected.
- The treated areas are lubricated with a wound-healing cream, which will not allow dust to enter the treated area.
- Eyebrows are corrected. This procedure is carried out only after the crust has come off after the first stage of tattooing.
Procedure: principle and features
Microblading is a procedure for manually introducing coloring pigments into the upper layers of the dermis of the lips using a pen that has numerous thin needles combined into multi-row bundles. When using such thin needles, the skin is minimally injured, and the dye is distributed evenly. The coloring session is low-traumatic; after the procedure, there is no swelling, bruising or areas of redness in the lip area, which cannot be said about the procedure for regular lip tattooing.
During microblading, superficial anesthesia is used to help reduce lip sensitivity and make the procedure painless and comfortable.
Pigments are used, the basis of which is iron oxide, which is absolutely safe for health.
After healing, the lip color looks natural and at the same time more rich, the natural shade becomes more saturated and bright.
Price
The cost of a lip tattoo procedure with shading depends on the status of the salon and the qualifications of the artist. However, the master must have a portfolio with before and after photos of the results of his work.
For a beginner, the price can start from 1000 rubles and limit the amount to 5000 rubles. For a veteran with extensive experience, a beautiful watercolor tattoo costs at least 10 thousand rubles.
When choosing a specialist, you should pay attention to the price list. The price for the service should not be too low, otherwise you risk getting a result that is far from what you expected, and fixing it will be difficult and painful.
Tattoo correction is usually either included in the price or is several times less than the initial procedure.
Stages of lip microblading
- the client, together with the specialist, chooses the color of the dye, the pattern applied to the lips and the type of local anesthesia;
- the skin is pre-cleaned, an anesthetic is applied to the surface of the lips for pain relief;
- micropigmentation is performed with dyes based on natural minerals;
- 45 days after the initial tattoo, a correction is carried out to consolidate the effect, create a richer shade and extend the period of wearing the tattoo.
First meeting with a specialist
Micropigmentation is a cosmetic and dermatological method for treating skin pathologies, so it should be performed by a dermatologist or a certified cosmetologist.
During your first consultation with a specialist, he should inform you about all the pros and cons regarding how the procedure will proceed:
- what technique and what type of ink will be used, and what complications may arise;
- assess skin condition;
- assess whether this technique is suitable for you;
- ask about the result you expect;
- Explain what measures to take after treatment to achieve a good result.
The cosmetologist should recommend which of the available varieties of pigment shades is ideal for you, taking into account the purpose and skin type.
Correction
Microblading involves the introduction of a coloring pigment into the papillary dermis. After the micropigmentation procedure, the body’s immune response is reflexively triggered. Sometimes it has a pronounced character, as a result of which the coloring pigment disappears along with the crust and the color of the lips fades. This is a variant of the norm. For the majority of clients, the wound heals normally, but during the healing process, 40–70% of the pigment remains in the thickness of the papillary layer.
After the primary procedure, it is important to make a correction in a timely manner; this is the second stage of microblading. With the help of correction, the result of the procedure is consolidated, and the period of wearing the tattoo is extended. In addition, color correction allows you to make the shade brighter or, on the contrary, lighten it, make the tone warmer or cooler, and also correct the shape of the lips.
Rehabilitation
Due to the fact that the microblading procedure is low-traumatic, painless and is carried out 2 times faster than tattooing, and the pigment dye with a neutral reaction is introduced quite superficially, the consequences in the form of a mild inflammatory reaction are very short-lived (2-3 hours). This allows you to make the rehabilitation period much shorter compared to tattooing. In the latter, due to the inflammatory process accompanied by severe swelling, the woman is forced to wear a medical mask or stay at home for several days.
Immediately after microblading, a barely noticeable film-like crust forms, making the tone appear lighter. Complete healing of the lips after microblading lasts only about 3, maximum 5 days, when the film disappears and the opportunity to evaluate the results of coloring is given.
It should also be borne in mind that only half of the injected dye composition remains in the tissues. Therefore, sometimes it seems that in certain areas after the crusts fall off there is no color or the color tone is not saturated enough. Complete distribution of the dye occurs on average within 3 to 4 weeks. If, after this, the results are still not satisfactory, after 1 - 1.5 months a correction is possible, after which 95-100% of the injected dye composition remains in the tissues.
Benefits of Microblading
- indispensable for women and girls who have allergies to cosmetics;

- lip shape correction (thin lips, asymmetrical contour);
