Getting My Lips Tattooed // Cosmetic Tattoo VLOG // Rachael Jade

Late last year / early this year I had my lips cosmetically tattooed. Here is a VLOG showing you the process from start to finish for anyone who is interested in having a similar treatment done! Includes footage of the tattooing taking place, price, pain-level, aftercare, healing and before and after shots.
I know this type of procedure won't be for everyone, but I thought you still might find it interesting even if you don't want to get it done yourself :)

[@RachaelJade]

Since I cannot reply to everyone individually - for everyone who has comment that the price is not worth it: - THE PRICE IS STANDARD in the industry at this time (if you come across someone offering to do it for a much cheaper price I would suggest checking their credentials...). Jess charges $750 AUD at this current time (not $800 like we said in the video). - THIS IS DIFFERENT TO A TYPICAL BODY TATTOO. Yes, they may charge less for more work but it is a different industry, different machine, different ink, different procedure. I wouldn't walk into a tattoo parlor and ask to have my lips tattooed in the same way I wouldn't ask a beauty therapist to tattoo my back. Maybe in the future the price of cosmetic tattoos will come down in the same way regular tattoos have, but at the moment it is what it is. - VALUE IS A PERCEPTION. If you think it is not worth it, then lip tattooing is probably not something you want or need. For example, I don't think it's worth paying $10,000 for a boob job - but that's because I am happy with mine the way they are. Other people might really want to make a change and therefore they think all that money is worth it. Please think before you leave another comment about price or worth. This video is purely informational for those who may have been curious about or are interested in getting their lips tattooed. You don't have to get it done yourself and you don't have to think it's worth it. xx Rach

[@helenaisabel3961]

Is this permanent tattoo ?

[@farahnajafi10]

this suits you a lot . loved this video

[@amielgrant]

Looks very nice!!..

[@MaggieMayhem999]

Is it permanent 😱

[@frosticular]

I used to know an elderly lady who had this done because she enjoyed the look of wearing lipstick, but her hands shook too much for her to be able to apply it. These kinds of "procedures" can be very helpful for people like her.

[@autumn3884]

Aww

[@GraceCutie_]

AWWWWW

[@griffinmathers929]

You used to know her? She must have been well off, these do not last long at all.

[@shritisharma2002]

That's what we call positiveness... Such a lovely mind...

[@elsie8947]

Shriti sharma it’s what we call *positivity*

[@gailjacobson9736]

Thank you for showing us this process. I think it looks beautiful and I don't understand the person who's disappointed. It's not their life to be disappointed about or disappointed in you or anyone else who makes a choice. I think this procedure would be incredibly important for someone who is been a burn victim or an older person who is losing their lip line and would just feel more confident to actually have lips that show. Some people's lips don't even show up, and the older we get the more they fade and get thin. It doesn't seem like a lot of money for something that could make you feel better about your appearance. Other thing that is a pain in the ass when you get older is the lines that appear around your lips that make your lipstick and lipgloss gravitate everywhere. This would be a fantastic solution. You could just throw on some gloss and look healthy and natural. I think it's really amazing

[@RachaelJade]

I think you have made some very valid points Gail. Part of Jess' training was to also be able tattoo eyebrows for those who may have lost their due to illness or cancer treatments as well as be able to tattoo areoles for someone who may have had a mastectomy. Both would go along way to making someone feel better after having to deal with so much. Yes they may be cosmetic procedures and people can be quick to judge as vain, but there are important psychological effects that feeling and looking "normal" too. Fake isn't always bad xoxo

[@taniele84]

Damn comment threads get on my nerves. She's sweet as can be, doing something she wants to do that's not hurting anyone else BUT HERE WE GO!!! Name calling, insulting, degrading etc etc etc. Constructive criticism is one thing. Relentless taunting because you've nothing nice to say is another. Please for the love of God grow the hell up before you hit that little blue send icon. KZbin should have maturity requirements.

[@Marziilla]

Seriously thank you. It's her body, she can do whatever she wants. So much hate. There's no need for it.

[@taniele84]

Maureen Dwelley Thank you !!! It's getting ridiculous. I just watched a video about this guy who lost his job because viewers from KZbin started calling his job and trolling. It got to the point where he was let go. I just can't believe it. Like, who does that? For real. Who calls a company to troll about an employee in hopes of getting them fired? What is wrong with people ? Everyone's so angry , hateful, bitter and just eager to put each other down and watch each other suffer. It's out of control. I'm ready to cut myself off from all social media. I stopped Facebook two years ago and I only have a google plus to give me the ability to save all my KZbin comments and log in games I play on my phone. But I'm ready to stop KZbin as well it's all a friggin mess. Sorry for the rant lol I'm just in a mood

[@serenapost8791]

i agree ladies!!! i dont understand why people get their panties in a bunch over the life choices of others. its her body and she looks beautiful. shoot, i myself hate putting lipstick and lipgloss on my lips and absolutely love this idea 😀❤

[@Ian_Eunwoo]

Seriously what is wrong with those people. I really feel sorry for her.

[@JustanotherLisa]

FallingFromWillows 511 well that's why I don't bother reading them. Haters are gonna hate so I just ignore them. It's really just jealousy.

[@amberlouise2987]

This is for all the people that don't understand lip tattooing as I have had it done my reason was my lips had no definition and no shape my lips were naturally extremely pale some days they would make me look sick as they were so pale. I was sick of applying a lip liner and lip tint every single day it gets very irritating I didn't like going anywere with out lip liner and lip tint so to get a lip tattoo is amazing. Don't be rude if you don't think it's necessary for your body cuz for other people they might think it's necessary

[@Rabina678]

amber louise I totally agree with you. My pale lips make me look sick too. Would love to have my lips tattooed

[@princessEMilyloves69]

How much did you have to pay for your treatment!?

[@disappointedcreepyaj8168]

Who the hell cares if your lips have DEFINITION, its a bit of tinted skin used to eat, not to look defined

[@digi6643]

@@disappointedcreepyaj8168 Okay I think the point she was trying to make was, people care about such normal details about their bodies, you might not care because it isn't your body but they do 🤦🏻

[@Artbyvidhya]

Where did you get your lip tattooed from?

[@BarbaraBeaute]

This actually makes perfect sense for people with darker lips such as many black women....a lot of the comments are saying it's unnecessary but some women do have darker lips.

[@Leo-bk5vf]

Lipstick??????

[@BarbaraBeaute]

+Espella Greyerl lipstick isn't permanent 😑😑

[@vivianamoreno9897]

+Espella Greyerl people can do whatever they want to make them happy..lipstick doesn't last forever you know?

[@OctaviaOlds]

+BarbaraBeauté actually it does not make perfect sense at all accept the color of you dark lips or pay $800 for a unnecessary procedure i meanto me it just seems ridiculous but hey if people want that then whatever i guess

[@untilthemidnight6904]

+simplyoctaviaok My lips have a grey-ish color and I don't like it one bit. I have to keep wearing lipstick all the time, even before I go to bed because I don't like my boyfriend to see me with my ugly lips color. I do wish to have lips tattoo so that I don't have to do that anymore. Plus, lipstick are kinda toxic for your body.

[@Mrsjimbob255]

SHE DIDN'T DO IT BECAUSE SHE WANTED HER LIP COLOUR CHANGED, SHE DID IT TO HELP OUT A FRIEND! Everyone saying it's pointless and she could just wear lipstick clearly didn't listen to the video

[@juvellmckenzie4726]

people just want something to complain about

[@juvellmckenzie4726]

***** did you not watch the video ????? the person who did it was her friend and the other lady that was in the room was her boss ,this was new to her and she needed someone to perform it on so she did it to help her friend out

People who don't see a difference are crazy. I love your results!

[@Julia-vc3by]

I love how informative this video is, covering all the questions I can imagine a person could have.

[@WinterRose84]

I think they turned out really nice! I'm not a big fan of just the liner getting done, getting the full lip looks so much more natural.

[@kristynapier845]

I have heard comments for decades now about beauty trends or processes as vain, stupid, or gross. You have every right to do so. I just want you to know what a great percentage of people will think about you when you do so. You are being judgemental, being ignorant - as in uneducated - backwards or sheltered from the world, or insecure about your own looks and therefore feel that you must put down others to make you feel better. If you don't want to get your lips tattooed, don't do it. It isn't necessary to be negative all your life. Try finding something that makes your days happy that doesn't hurt others in the process. Rachel, I think you did a very great service to all your viewers with this video. Very few friends would ever consider going to such lengths to help them out. Best wishes and regards.

[@munira5672]

Yasss. Some of the girls in these comments need to learn about self love 🙏 . It's her lips not there's. She didn't hurt anyone else in the process so why bash her for it?

[@onecuet]

Since 2002, I've had my eyeliner (top & bottom lashes), eyebrows, & lips tattooed. It's only required one touch up on my lips. I can still change my eyeliner & lip color as before. I just do not look gaunt when I wake in the morning. I LOVE IT & NEVER regretted getting the procedures. Mine were performed in a docs office with local numbing. So pain wise, my lips were the worst part of the procedure. I didn't have any pain surprisingly with eyebrows or eyeliner. I choose a red brown shade for my lips, a natural brown for brows, & black for eyeliner. Colors that I wear most often but still lean towards a natural beauty look. FYI: My practitioner said her biggest complaint from clients is they initially choose a shade that's too light for their lips. So they end up having to do it over again with a darker shade. Afterwards, I was given Bactrban antibiotic ointment to assist in healing. The next day I felt great & was able to do all my normal activities. The worst part of after care is the skin peeling. The urge to pick off or even tug @ loose skin can remove the pigment color. The lips were the most uncomfortable & felt like bad case of chapped lips with a slight sunburn. I healed completely in a 5-6 days. The freedom to wake up & look amazing was phenomenal, on top of being handy. I also had laser removal. Tattooed make up & later hair removal has made my life so much more easy! I definitely would recommend it to family & friends.

[@princessEMilyloves69]

Kristi Robare I would feel much better getting it done in a doctors office not in a crummy nail salon where I was offered by a Vietnamese women I was not interested at all she was basically begging me for business as I was coming out of a bakery next to her salon it creeped me out that she was allowed to do that there

[@lobo3928]

Kristi Robare any chance you might share what state you live and the cost? It does sound insanely wonderful (especially because I deal with a bad genetic joint problem that causes a lot of pain)

[@antoniabaker7770]

Thank you so much for that feedback. I'm looking at the same procedures but I'm worried about the pain. Glad your happy with it.

[@Selsmittenxo]

Guys, some people have different coloured lips, uneven, or a non defined outer edge. Most people want a natural "your lips but better" colour..... That's why they tend to choose a similar colour, especially for the first time. Just like using lip liner to define or changed the shape to look fuller etc. Why are most of y'all so closed minded o-e.... Yes the price is expensive, I wish it weren't, but keep in mind you're paying for the product, tools used, experience, and obviously the person performing the procedure and the time of how long it takes to do and see results + plus treatment and touch up. Most of the materials/products aren't cheap to get because they're supposed to be specifically formulated to be safe to use. If this isn't for you, then simply don't get it~ simple. This is a business and for those that want it 😓🙄😒

[@dillonkelley6437]

Selina Li r

[@darianvocker5399]

Selina Li I agree! My reason for wanting it is definitely because I have a pale line that, unless you're looking for it, you usually couldn't see. I also have a crease in the side of the left upper lip. SOOOO, when I do my makeup I tend to hear that I've over drawn, simply because pigment is practically non existent. Frustrating.

[@low8739]

Selina Li I would do that just to have the definition and for my lips to look fuller. I'm sure that a huge part of the cost is for the technician's artistry. It isn't something everyone can do, and I'm sure it wasn't her friend's first day. 😊

[@toryheartsdepp]

Selina Li if I were to do it, it would be because I have an undefined outer edge in some parts of my lips. Some people just don't get it, it doesn't bother me much but idk why people get mad at how other choose to spend thier own money and live thier lives.

[@RachaelJade]

In relation to the longevity of the procedure, while it is referred to as 'permanent makeup', it will fade. The tattooing will generally last approx. 2 - 3 years depending on the person. If you have naturally flakey lips or exfoliate regularly then the colour will fade more quickly. It can also depend on your body's metabolic rate as to how quickly the ink breaks down. I have herd that the more times you have it done over the years, the longer you can go between needing refresher, but I am not 100% certain on how true that is :) xx

[@cutierenesmeegirl]

If they can make facial tattoos only last a few years why cant they make actual tattoos only last a few years too

[@bradymedlin7943]

+Chelsea Rodriguez they can't. The skin on your lips flakes of more than your actually skin, so it doesn't last as long as a tattoo would on say your arm or something. All tattoos fade, but how fast it does depends on where it is and your metabolism and all that good stuff.

[@MrVoldyswife]

+Chelsea Rodriguez actual tattoos do fade through the years but I believe the ink is different. At least that's what I've heard.

[@cnith2]

+Chelsea Rodriguez The skin on your arm is "tougher" than the skin on your face so when they ink it on the arm the ink goes in deeper than when they do your face. Therefore, it does fade but not disappear completely. I suppose if they tattooed shallower on your arm they could make it disappear after a while but with the cost, it's probably not as effective...? Like, would you really pay thousands for a tattoo taht fades after a couple of months or years? I wouldn't.

[@moontiggsland]

+Miranda Faye you're right! The ink used for tattooing is acrylic ink, hence the vibrancy of the colours and how long they last. For permanent makeup mineral ink is used. Your body will reabsorbe it but you never can be specific on how long as it depends on each person...specially if they problems like anemia

[@Omskanielar]

How to optimise yourself: 1. get your teeth bleached to an unnatural titanium white 2. have your eyebrows, lash line and lips tattooed (so you can so "makeup-free" #nomakeup #allnatural #justwokeuplikethis) 3. have your lips injected if too small (a.k.a. not Kylie Jenner-looking) 4. have all of the body and unwanted facial hair laser removed 5. have your private body parts bleached to make them look more "pleasant" 6.6.6. have your boobs and butt enlarged 7. have any remaining unwanted body fat removed 8. wear a corset to shape and minimise your waistline and get an hourglass-figure 9. undergo plastic surgery and facial (and other) reconstrution to erase any natural flaws in your features. And you'll have: A plastique doll.

[@ta2dwench137]

I love this! Sad what this world is coming to.

[@jumpie1111]

I think it's great. If you don't want it, don't do it. But if you feel unhappy with your appearance, you can change it. You can go for whatever you want and if for any reason you feel like you were supposed to be a cat, you can have surgery and be a cat. Well, not really but as close to a cat as possible. Why is it sad, that people can change their appearance? You don't need to do it! But why shame people who want to?

[@AngelPrimsepski]

+Alice L I agree. I feel like people get "disappointed" by this kind of thing because people are making themselves flawless and as close to perfection as they can by surgery or makeup and these people just dont want to, but at the same time feeling like they have to compete with flawless people makes them upset, and yes, JEALOUS !

[@jumpie1111]

SunnyNutQueerios I never thought about it that way. Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing (:

[@AngelPrimsepski]

+Alice L No prob, no matter how much people wanna say that jealousy is an overused word, it is almost always the cause for hate, the world is run by it :/

[@kathringhoit21]

Thank you so much for your video! I had been considering getting my lips tattooed for a few months and your video was really helpful for preparing me for what the experience is like. I have some healed but visible scarring around my lips and I've always been self conscious about it, especially when you're a teen. I got my lips lined and I am so happy with the results. For anyone who thinks its not worth it, for me it was. My confidence has improved and I could not be happier. Many people might not be aware that cosmetic tattooing is life changing for people especially for those with scars eg cleft lip scar, from accidents, breast cancer survivors etc.

While I do not plan on getting this done I still found the video very informative and worth the watch. Thank you for taking your time out to film everything and I hope Jess gets the business in and enjoys her studies/course. I think that this type of tattooing is very important simply due to like you said in a comment on here, there are people of whom did not make the decision to have a mastectomy (obviously) and I just find it wonderful that there are options out there for those women as well. And I mean, as for the rude comments, it is not their decision/they didn't have to do it to themselves and it's just extremely rude and unnecessary (just like they wanted to comment the procedure itself was.) Chin up buttercup! The outcome was beautiful.

+Rachael Annear (Rachael Jade) Thank you for this, great review and the final product looks gorgeous, I love how this goes through your entire experience in one video. Can I ask how you went about your day to day life while they were healing? they healing process looked quite extreme and i'm just wondering if you took time off or were able to cover it up during the time you went out?

[@RachaelJade]

+Loved Life The first time I had it done it was the Saturday of a long weekend but I went out the next day and saw friends. They looked a bit weird but no one cared. They peeled a lot on the Monday when it was a public holiday and by the Tuesday I was back at work and no one really noticed. The touch up session was at the end of my Christmas leave so I wasn't at work, but I still just went about my life. I think other people pay less attention then we think LOL. I just made sure that I had lip balm with me everywhere because it was uncomfortable when they dried out :) xox Rach

I think your lips look lovely! I had my eyeliner tattooed and it was a really similar experience, and it was totally worth it! I love not having to worry about my makeup coming off while swimming, or not having to do it if I'm running late! Very nice video and a very beautiful result :)

[@valeriemendoza1205]

It would've been nice to see a side by side pic at the end! Otherwise, it was really cool to see the process!

It makes me so proud to see the articles and to see how many views this has gotten! I've been subscribed to you for quite a while and every time something exciting happens for you I'll get super proud and just be like THATS MY GIRL! But I just wanted to let you know that you deserve all the fame and views and I'm super proud and happy for you! 😘 Keep up the good work gorgeous! xx

[@lolacookie453]

Getting this done tomorrow! I can't wait, this is really helpful, now I know what to expect on each day! Looks great!

[@lauren8420]

How does it look?

[@lolacookie453]

@@lauren8420 unfortunately my lips swelled up so much during the procedure she couldn’t even finish my entire lips. Due to the pandemic shutting everything down I haven’t been able to go back to finish it. It looks very natural though.

[@ebony5518]

the price is ridiculous for $800 i could have a highly skilled artist spend the whole day tattooing detailed art on my body it should not be that expensive thats a total ripoff for something that only takes 2 hours and requires essentially no skill or detail

[@wrymecheers]

+Ebby Cat Cosmetic tattooing is very different from regular tattooing, it is a different skill and requires different training. It also does take skill and detail, I'm not sure why you think it does not. Also, my tattoo artist takes $175 per hour, while that would be more than two hours, I don't need a mandatory touch up like the lip tattoo does (which takes another 2 hours) and as I said, it's just something different entirely. :)

[@shannonkateparry1695]

+not without coffee but nothing compared to the skill of regular tattooing.

[@MiszzMiszz]

you all have some good points but i agree it should be at least a little bit cheaper...

[@wrymecheers]

Yeah, the price is subjective. I'm sure that it really depends on where you live and that there's certainly cheaper options :)

[@imcoolerthanshelby]

Also keep in mind this is 800 dollars in australia not America or Canada, if that's where you're from. So make sure you do the conversion first

[@Biedronecqa]

what's the point? there are tints and extremely durable lipsticks now on the market and they don't cost much.

[@Fireprincessangel]

+Sophiesticated The point, if you've watched the video and/or read the description to the video, is clearly explained. But the main point, as you can see, is to show the process of a lip tattoo over time. The whole video is basically just something to try and experience on for others to see what it's like and use it as a recommendation. If lip tattooing is not for you, then don't try it. But don't bash on others who have and/or have a liking to it.

[@CCass-jv4fx]

+Y. L. M. I don't think this person was bashing the process. She was just sharing her opinion about it. An opinion which wasn't negative or positive. I was thinking the same thing. I was questioning why would anyone go through all that as well. She looks fantastic in that color. But I wouldn't pay for a tattoo when I can just put on lipstick.

[@ElisaCammack]

I had a stroke at 24 and I’ve decided to look into doing this since I can’t do my lips or eyeliner anymore (the stroke caused a tremor disorder and I can’t keep my hands from shaking now). I’ve been looking for information like this. Thank you for this video!

[@animalrescuegeek]

Thank you for showing this video step by step. I did have mine done 15 years ago. I have a medical condition where I have tremors in my head and hands. I also did my eyeliner. Not and easy process. But I would not be able to line everyday with the shaking. While in the waiting room I met a blind woman in her late 60s. Her husband had been doing her makeup and as sweet as he was, it wasn't a great look. She was so excited to get it done and know that it was done well. I think there are a lot of people out there that would be interested and this video addresses all the issue. Thanks again - Sue in Michigan USA

do you guys not know that any decent tattoo artist will charge at least £80 a hour the best charging up to like 200 and that is cheaper than cosmetic tattoos. the price is reasonable.

[@HaLLiEB85]

+Slap a Fish mine does bomb ass work and I've never paid more than $50 an hour and that's a high estimate . I've paid $230 with tip for 5.5 hours on part of my sleeve

[@JakeMcb]

Hallie B. then your very lucky that's well below avg price. You most likely have a very skilled apprentice.

[@tracyltrust]

Great video. So informative. I just had this done and appreciate being able to see what to expect in the weeks to come. I would've loved to see a side by side before/after at the end of your pre-tattooed lips vs. tattooed lips. I definitely think it made a difference (and mine has made a huge difference already in the shape and definition of my lips).

[@chasitiegardner2087]

This is actually extremely informative. Great video!

[@deeptis461]

What is lip tint? How do I get it? Please reply I wanna try it

[@madyclaire5810]

deepti shashidharaiah lip tint is a liquidy gel in a shade of lipstick you like. You put it on your lips and let it dry and when it’s dry you peel it off! It stains your lips so you don’t have to worry about reapplying. You can get them on amazon or I get mine at hot topic haha

[@amcakeboss]

ouch! I feel like it was such a painful process for such little difference but then again i'm sure it was a huge difference to you! im glad you like them :)

[@selenabarreras9635]

Erika she didnt even feel the tattoo her lips were numb af xD so its easy to sit there and not feel the pain that a tattoo gives

[@slleepy2000]

Thanks for making this video. I already have an appointment to get mine done but your video gives me second thoughts. I love the end result but you went through a lot to get there!

[@tanjadassy4546]

The result is fabulous, it looks natural. And I enjoyed watching this vlog because I'm thinking of having my lips tattooed too. It's nice to know how it's done and what the lips look like days/weeks after. Something to keep in mind! Thanks!

[@CaseeBrim]

Hi babes! This is so crazy but I was looking up lip tattooing videos because I'm looking into it and then when you said Western Sydney I was like wow, that's so close to me. Then I looked at where in Western Sydney and saw Penrith and had another wow moment because it's so close. Then the tip of the iceberg was seeing where your PO box was and it is literally the suburb across from me in JS. Small world isn't it! :)

[@MakingithappenVlog]

[@mashakalinkina7207]

Looks good! Was surprised how it heals down to a natural shade from that dark cocoa color with the fresh tattoo--was a bit nervous for ya at first!

[@emmalamothe8944]

love you leighann! xx

[@RachaelJade]

+leighannsays Thanks LeighAnn. I think you could maybe after a week or so. When they are first done it is suggested that you only use a natural balm (given to me) while they are healing so that you don't interfere with the healing or the color :) xx Rach

[@RachaelJade]

+leighannsays P.s. Love your hair colour 😉 xx

[@TheOliveManPbj]

I've never heard/seen lip tattoos, at first I thought "ouch pain!!" but watching the video, it was very informative and I enjoyed going through your experience. I don't enjoy putting on lip stick all the time, even tho I enjoy neutral colors but hate it when the color wipes off when eating or drinking something. I'd love to do this, I also have this line on my upper lip that I've always wanted to hide and it's hard to cover up w makeup. This procedure would be great to do, for someone like myself. Also you're very brave and a great person for helping out your friend. Your lips look great! for those leaving stupid comments, leave them in their ignorance, for they have very small and closed minds.

[@manicathibault2160]

TheOliveManPbj TAEEEEE

[@second2tuna]

Who cares if it was free or not or what the actual price is..... this was very informative. I had my eyeliner and brows done a few years ago. I choose to have them "touched up" every year/every other year even thought it's not needed that often. I have been contemplating having my lips done. Obviously I am very familiar with permanent cosmetics but not having the lip procedure before I was curious about how they looked just after, how the healing process was etc. I have discussed this with the woman who does my work but it's not the same as seeing it. I found this video not only answer all questions but even some had not thought of. I have watched this a few times and have now scheduled for mine to be done. I appreciate all the work you put into it and for letting us in on your journey. Great job!! Thank you

[@bethiarubinstein6083]

What a good friend you are to go through this!

[@kensier4955]

I would pay $800 for a normal tattoo, but not on my lips. Going through that process TWICE on my lips, struggling to eat, only to have it last a few years when a $20 lipstick lasts as long as it does. That's rough. Plus, $800 spent on a regular tattoo gives you a super intricate design that covers a MUCH larger area than your lips. Those cosmetic tattooers really capitalize on a much smaller overhead cost. They look awesome though and I think it's great that you love them so much (: Rough recovery though

[@milo1685]

I agree.

[@ohreally4970]

Lip tattoo's are mostly for people who don't have time i apply lipstick, or people like me who just can't apply lipstick xD also it doesn't stain and won't come off easily.. So you don't have to worry about lipstick smudges all over your glasses

[@ohreally4970]

+Senpai OwO glasses = drinking cups Um sorry we say glasses in my country

[@vickym.p6826]

The friend is soo prettyyy

[@M0OSE]

I'm happy that it didn't hurt as much during the perfecting session. Normally, touching up a tattoo hurts a lot more because you're going over scar tissue that was made there through the first tattoo process, and it's normally significantly more painful. I remember getting my forearm tattoo touched up and it was awful.

[@jessicas8902]

Thank you for such an in depth, honest video. I'd love to get this done myself, as my top lip is a little crooked and I use a lip stain to even things up most days. The colour you got looks awesome!! Just as a side note, I am disgusted by all the negative comments, especially the ones that appear to have not watched the full video, or bothered to pay attention. I can't believe the amount of people who are against this type of procedure and still went out of their way to be nasty. Just keep scrolling!!! If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. This was the first of your videos I've seen, definitely subscribing now. Thank you!!!
