@Anne2 Well, you're right about the sensible expectation - which applies really to most tattooing - that after some years it can be an advantage to go back and have some more pigment shot in, in order to refresh the color.

For the particular kind of tattooing that you and your sister considered and she actually had done, it's the outer lipliner that is the most helpfully beneficial: easily supplemented daily by the conventional lipstick if the outer lines have already been firmly shot in. Not every tattoo parlor would specialize in this particular sort of tattooing; since the tattoo machine used is often not with multiple needles shooting simultaneously; good to bear in mind and find out what sort of machine they use, if you are considering it.

Also, tattoo artists who do lips do not necessarily also do the other kind of tattoos. Spending adequate time in research and enquiries, procedure viewing by video, etc., can be helpful if - maybe after having used conventional lipstick for many years - being a woman with tattooed lips really is what is definitely desired, remembering always the practical goal of really firm outer lines.

Yes, the pain was not scary for me and one made it easy for more.

@NConly Yes, a bit of mild discomfort for permanent evidence of having passed through one's coming of age time, as a new adult.

At this point- honestly it’s almost a requirement. Every single one of my coworkers is tattooed. reddit dot com

(I think for you it was when you were a bit older than your coming of age time?)

yes I understood her post and respect her decision in her life. I just stated my personal opinion. I like natural eye brows, natural eye lashes and a little lipstick.

It depends on the shade. Some wear bright colors, of red. But if I did it, it would be a lash fill only. Maybe just the top only. That is if I did it. Probably won't. But I can understand the desire especially getting older.

@Anne2 Well, yes and probably as the years go by the goal of Marlene Dietrich arches can seem increasingly attractive, with tattooing a viable option for it to be permanent and no further bother to keep working on it, right?

I don't think she has actually decided, in any case...

  I prefer less contrast on a woman's face myself.  Which has nothing to do with your decision in your life.
