How long after lip tattoo can I apply lipstick?

Lip tattooing is a method of beautifying the lips, helping the lips have a fresh, radiant color to enhance the beauty of the entire face.

During the lip tattooing process, the technician will use specialized embroidery pens with microscopic needle tips to impact the lips and inject ink color under the epidermis.

Thus, when lip tattooing, the surface of the lips will be subjected to certain impacts that cause slight damage. We need to wait for this damaged layer to peel off and the lips to heal completely before we can see the true lip color after tattooing.

So how long after lip tattooing can you apply lipstick? The answer is when your lips are completely healthy, no longer painful or peeling, then you can apply lipstick.

Normally, it takes about 2 months for the lips to fully heal after lip tattooing. Therefore, we can only apply lipstick 2 months after lip tattooing.

We should not apply lipstick too soon after lip tattooing because lipstick contains a certain amount of lead. This amount of lead can make the healing process of the lips longer. Moreover, lead is a substance that affects lip pigmentation, if we apply lipstick right after lip tattooing, our lips will most likely become dark and not beautiful.

According to beauty experts, during the first 2 months after lip tattooing, we should only use colorless lip balm so that the lips can recover and have the best color.
