Lip Tattooing
Melbourne’s Lip Tattooing Experts
Restore Colour. Enhance Shape. Achieve Softly Blushed Lips That Stay All Day.
At Brow & Arrow, we specialise in lip blush tattooing—a semi-permanent treatment that adds subtle colour, definition and fullness to your lips without harsh lines or obvious pigment. The result? A soft, natural tint that gives the illusion of volume and balance, tailored to your unique features and skin tone.
What Is Lip Blush Tattooing?
Lip tattooing—also known as lip blush—is a gentle form of cosmetic tattooing that deposits pigment into the lips using ultra-fine needles. Unlike old-style lip liner tattoos, today’s techniques are soft, sheer, and incredibly natural.
Our approach enhances your natural lip shape, evens out tone, and restores colour lost through ageing, sun damage, or medical treatment.
Expected Results
Lip blush results are soft, subtle, and semi-permanent. Expect the colour to fade 30–50% during healing, revealing a sheer tint that enhances your lips without looking “done.”
Results typically last 1–3 years, with touch-ups recommended every 12–18 months depending on your lifestyle and skin type.
Your Lip Tattooing Journey
Initial Consultation
Prior to treatment, we connect with you in a private, personal 1-on-1 consultation. No rushed appointments here. We take the time to understand your goals and what you ultimately want from the treatment.
Colour Match
We then select a pigment that enhances your natural lip tone. Whether you want a barely-there pink, a muted coral, or a soft nude, we customise the blend for you. Nothing proceeds until you’re 100% in love with the colour—no pressure, no surprises.
Precare & Treatment
In the week leading up to your appointment, we recommend gentle lip exfoliation and daily lip balm hydration. There’s no need to apply numbing cream at home—we do that for you using a safe, in-salon anaesthetic. The process takes about two hours. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or tingling, and many feel minimal discomfort due to our medical-grade numbing cream.
Healing & Aftercare
Lips will appear more vibrant for the first few days, followed by gentle peeling. Full colour settles over 3–4 weeks. Avoid touching, picking, or applying makeup to the area during healing.
Perfecting Session
A second appointment is scheduled 4–6 weeks later to adjust depth, colour, or shape. This ensures the pigment holds beautifully, and the result is even and natural.
