So this is straight after the treatment. I chose ‘Pink Rose’ for my lip colour.
I was torn between ‘Magenta’ and ‘Pink Rose!’ Hopefully I made the right choice but with these amazing colours I’m sure none of them would disappoint!

“I can’t take you serious with those lips”

Yep this is the ‘out there stage’ wearing a bright red lip for bed isn’t something you do everyday! But I must admit I love it. Strangely I feel like the red makes my brows look darker.

Ok so my lips are feeling dry around the border today. Day 3 and while I’m still feeling the vibrant red, I can also start to feel my lips drying up especially around the vermilion border. If you can imagine how a scab drys up and tightens when it’s almost healed to eventually fall off? Well I have a slight feeling of the tattoo raising off my lip as it heals and drys. Is it painful? No not at all, but it does get a little itchy, especially around your nose and top lip as it’s so close to our tiny nerve endings. Meanwhile I can feel the healing take place, to look at my lips they still look fine. Wait for the peeling stage….. stay tuned!

“I’m not kissing them”

So a lot has changed since yesterday and unfortunately this isn’t the appealing stage as my lips look extra dry and peely. My lips have lost a lot more colour mainly around the centre. We can slowly start to see a lighter version of the original colour I first had tattooed. This is starting to show the real colour my lips will heal too. Now it’s time to just hang in there for the rest to follow.

So by the time night 5 has come my lips have already flaked off a lot since morning so I thought its important to share this with you. You barely notice this happen throughout the day unless you check the mirror. To remind you, this is not painful or sore!

So day 6-7 are very similar. My lips are still a tiny bit dry mainly around the border. I will give them a few more days for any pigment under the healing skin to show. Stay tuned.

Progress! So I haven’t posted day 8 as not much had changed. Now I’ve taken a picture day 9 and compared to day 7 I can actually see they have brightened a little and the pink tone has enhanced without noticing myself. Pink Pink Pink!
