How to Take Care of Your Lip Tattoo Mazical Eyes Parramatta
Getting a lip tattoo is a game-changer for effortless beauty but the magic doesn’t stop after the appointment. To enjoy smooth healing and long lasting results, proper aftercare is essential. At Mazical Eyes Parramatta, we not only provide stunning lip blush and semi permanent lip tinting, but we also guide you through each step of lip tattoo aftercare for the best outcome.
In this blog, you’ll learn how to care for your lips after your appointment, what to expect during healing, and tips to make your results last longer.
Why Lip Tattoo Aftercare Matters?
A lip tattoo involves inserting pigment into the lip skin. Just like any other tattoo, your lips need time and proper care to heal. Without aftercare, your lips may scab, fade unevenly, or even lose pigment. That’s why following a professional aftercare routine from Mazical Eyes helps you get natural looking, long lasting color with minimal discomfort.
What to Expect After a Lip Tattoo?
The healing process usually takes 7–10 days, and it’s completely normal for your lips to go through different phases:
- Day 1–2: Your lips will look brighter or darker than expected.
- Day 3–5: Light scabbing or flaking may occur. Do not pick
- Day 6–10: Color starts to soften into a natural shade.
- Week 6–8: Touch up session for perfecting color.
Lip Tattoo Aftercare Tips from Mazical Eyes Parramatta
1. Avoid Touching and Picking
Your lips may feel dry or flaky, but do not peel or scratch the skin. Let the natural healing process complete without interference.
2. Keep Lips Hydrated
Use the recommended ointment (usually a healing balm) provided by Mazical Eyes. Apply it 2–3 times daily to prevent dryness and cracking.
3. Avoid Spicy or Hot Foods
For the first 3–4 days, skip spicy meals and hot beverages like coffee or soup, as they can irritate the lips and affect pigment retention.
4. Drink Through a Straw
Minimize lip contact with liquids by using a straw especially in the first 48 hours post-treatment.
5. No Makeup on Lips
Avoid applying lipstick, gloss, or any makeup product on your lips during the healing process. Let them breathe and recover naturally.
6. Avoid Sun Exposure
Sunlight can cause pigment fading. Use a lip balm with SPF after healing is complete to protect your new lip color.
7. Limit Physical Activity
Heavy workouts, swimming, or saunas should be avoided for at least 5–7 days. Sweat and heat can disturb the healing process.
What Not to Do After a Lip Tattoo
- Don’t eat salty, crunchy snacks (like chips) for a few days.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 5 days.
- Don’t sleep face-down to prevent rubbing on pillows.
- Refrain from kissing until your lips are fully healed.
When to Book a Touch Up
Even with perfect aftercare, a touch up session is recommended around 6 to 8 weeks after the first procedure. This helps correct any color fading or unevenness and ensures a flawless finish. At Mazical Eyes Parramatta, your touch up is included in the service package.
Signs of Proper Healing
Your lips are healing well if:
- The color gradually softens to a natural looking shade
- There’s no excessive swelling or bleeding
- Peeling is minimal and controlled
However, if you notice signs of infection (persistent redness, pus, severe pain), contact your technician or healthcare provider.
Long Term Lip Tattoo Care Tips
Once healed, follow these steps to make your lip tattoo last longer:
- Apply SPF lip balm daily
- Stay hydrated to maintain lip health
- Schedule maintenance touch ups every 1–2 years
- Use gentle skincare products near the mouth area
