lip blush testimonials

Michelle first did my brows and eyeliner in 2017. I remember the dedication and care she put into her work. We kept in contact and I’m so happy to see her work and business grow! When she expanded to include lip blush tattoo, I got my lips tattooed as well. Michelle recently redid my mother’s and my brows, and her attention to detail is exceptional. My new brows look natural, perfectly shaped, and have completely transformed my face. Permanent makeup has genuinely saved me so much time in my daily routine, and I feel more confident stepping out of the house with minimal or no makeup. One of the best beauty investments!

I did my first session of Lip Blush with Tracy at Meraki.  I have a lot of dark hyperpigmentation on my top lip so our first session was mostly colour correction. It’s only been a few days but I was so happy with her work and I can’t wait to see what the results look like in a few weeks.  She was so friendly and professional, and very easy to work with, I will definitely be going back to her for my touch ups and possible second session. Highly recommend it.

If you are considering lip blush, I would recommend seeing Tracey! We debated between the colour coral or red based on my favourite lipstick. Tracey was attentive and patient. I had many questions, especially during the healing stage. She always replied promptly! What I appreciated the most was her commitment to ensuring that I was ecstatic with the outcome! Thank you, Tracey!

Nice and clean, spacious studio. I went to see Tracey Nguyen for my lip blush tattoo and she did such a great job!! I’ve had lip blush done before by multiple artists at different studios but Tracey’s work has been the best. The outline of my lips were a bit uneven from a previous tattoo done by my previous artist, but Tracey was able to correct it and make my lips look more symmetrical.  Tracey is an attentive artist and cares a lot about her clients’ comfortability. During the procedure, she periodically checked in to ask about my pain level and if I was doing okay or if I needed more numbing. I’m happy with the work she’s done and the service provided. I recommend going to her if you’re considering a lip blush tattoo.

Tracey did an outstanding job, very clean lines, full coverage, no patchy after look, great colour, seriously Im ecstatic on the finished look!

If you are thinking about getting your lips pigmented I Highly recommend seeing Tracey for your lip blush.

I love my lips! It was my first time getting lip blush and Tracey made me feel so comfortable. She checked in on me and made sure I was happy with my shape before proceeding. She was very thoughtful and detail-oriented which I really appreciated. Tracey also did a thorough consultation prior to starting too-- I felt safe during the whole process! Highly recommend if your looking for a PMU for lips!

Anna Dinh

I got my lip blush done by Tracey (@tray_levres on IG) and I couldn’t be happier with the results! She was extremely professional, made sure I was comfortable during my sessions and checked in on me often during the healing process. If I had any questions/concerns, she would tell me exactly what to do to make the healing smooth, and I never had any problems! My lips healed perfectly. She corrected my lip color (my upper lip was slightly darker than the bottom) and chose the perfect shade that I wanted. The color turned out even better than I expected after healing and I constantly get compliments from all my friends. Thank you Tracey and Meraki for the wonderful experience!

Lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that will surely transform your look.
You’ll have a lively complexion 24/7, and you’ll never have to worry about retouching your lipstick throughout the entire day. This procedure provides natural results for a more even brilliant colour and fuller lip. By enhancing the borders, your lips will also look more symmetrical and defined!

The results last around 1-3 years depending on lifestyle and skin factors. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough to sell you – the procedure stimulates collagen production which means more natural fullness to your lips!

Appointment Preparation
Appointment Preparation

•  Exfoliate and make sure lips are NOT DRY!
•  The lips cannot be worked on if they are dry and have any sort of flaking. The needle will snag dry skin which causes sensitivity and bleeding. Bleeding will push pigment out and not allow it to settle.  This will negatively impact healed results.
•  Bleeding pushes pigment out and affects healed results.
•  If you get cold sores, take anti-viral meds before the procedure.
•  No alcohol the day before or day of—this increases bleeding.
•  No caffeine on the day of—this also increases bleeding.
•  Avoid any natural blood thinning foods (as much as possible): garlic, ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, vitamin e–rich foods, omega-3 fatty acids, ginkgo biloba, green tea , berries.
•  You can take Tylenol 30 mins before to ease pain. DO NOT take Advil, Aleve, etc.—they thin blood and cause bleeding.
•  During COVID, we can’t provide blankets. We suggest to bring your own and some earphones for comfort.
•  We won’t work on lips with strong color from another artist. If you show up without prior approval, the appointment is canceled and deposit lost.
•  You’ll get more detailed instructions in your confirmation email.

Healing & Aftercare
Healing & Aftercare

Please closely follow these aftercare instructions to ensure the formation of thin scabs and thus better colour retention.

DO NOT

‍•  Scrub, rub, or pick at the scabs/crusts that form. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it’s ready, the pigment
underneath can be pulled out.
‍•  Use any makeup on the lips while scabs are present.
‍•  Sweat profusely until all scabs are gone
‍•  Use any Retin-A, Glycol Acids, or harsh exfoliants on the lips during or after healing.
‍•  Expose area to excessive sun or tanning beds for 6 weeks.
‍•  Swim in a pool/submerge tattoo in water for 2 weeks after your procedure.

For the first 4 hours after the procedure:

Keep the tattoo completely dry (NO ointment). Keep moving your lips to bring down swelling. Once every hour, use a damp cotton pad and swipe across the lips hard enough to see pigment come off on the pad.

afterwards

caring for your lip blush

Always keep the tattoo protected and moisturized by applying a thin layer of aquaphor healing ointment with a clean Q-Tip every 30-60 minutes. This will help soothe discomfort and dryness. You will need to avoid any other lip balms and products during the healing process. Continue swiping the lips once every hour for the first day.

Immediately After

•  AVOID TOUCHING the tattooed area with your hands. If you do not have a clean q-tip you must ensure your hands are properly washed before and after touching the tattoo.
•  A small number of people get a reaction to the numbing solution after the procedure. If the skin around the tattooed area breaks out in small pimples or a heat rash, it usually goes away on its own within the week. Contact the shop immediately if this occurs so the technician can make a note of the reaction and follow-up with you. Make sure not to pick at the rash.

Days 3-4

Scabs will start to appear. DO NOT EVER FORCEFULLY WIPE OR PEEL OFF SCABS PREMATURELY.

Only use dabbing motions on the area to dry or apply ointment. Scabs usually fall off in 2-3 days.

Week 1-2

Around this time the skin will be healed enough to go back to your regular cleansing and make up routine. You still want to avoid harshly scrubbing the area. Make up can be applied on top of lip balm.

To ensure tattoo longevity

•  Wear sunblock on the lips (at least SPF 30) to prevent fading.
•  Use aquaphor (or petrolatum ointment equivalent) to keep the area moisturized. Use a thin layer of this underneath other lip products- Make up may contain ingredients (ex. minerals) that may darken your lips
•  Smoking and sunlight will DARKEN the colour of your lips

Working in the dental field, the first thing I notice about someone is their smile. Since nothing enhances a smile better than a pretty gloss or lipstick, I'm so happy to have joined the permanent make up industry as a lip blush artist to be able to make a difference in someone's smile and help them feel beautiful with a simple stroke. To me, beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. I’m lucky to be working with these inspiring ladies at Meraki Beauty Bar that help do that!

Sung Nguyen
Lip Blush Artist

My journey into beauty began with a deep love for art and creativity, an instinct that led me to study Interior Design, where I learned to see beauty not only in form and colour but in the balance they create. That same creative spirit eventually brought me to the world of lip blush. For me, lip blush is more than polished lips; it’s about creating a simple yet transformative beauty that leaves every client not only with perfected lips, but also feeling radiant, empowered, and unapologetically herself.
