Look what I did yesterday! :)
Annika on Creative Make Up have tattooed my lips before, about 2 ½ years ago, and now I wanted to make them a little bigger so she fixed it for me! :)
Egentligen har jag inte stört mig på att mina läppar är små, utan vi började göra lite utanför formen bara för att få en mjukare form, jag hade en lite mer “sur” mun förut. Och ni vet hur det blir när man väl börjar med nått, då fortsätter man “bara för att testa” haha. Det är ju det som är bra med permanent makeup, det håller inte för evigt så man behöver inte fundera på “tänk om jag inte vill ha tatuerade läppar när jag är gammal” o.s.v.
I am super happy with the shape and it feels really good! :)
Dom är väldigt skarpa och mörka nu, men när dom läkt så kommer färgen vara ungefär som innan, fast med lite mer highlighter längre in i munnen – tycker det ser så mörkt ut där när jag gör en “resting bitch face-pose” framför kameran haha.
This is how it works:
Form 1 - Man ritar upp formen och kommer gemensamt fram till en form som både man själv och Annika tycker ser bra ut. Jag ritade formen själv, men på “vanliga kunder” gör Annika det.
Stunning - Then you anesthetize with an ointment, it is so sickly effective and it really does not hurt at all when she tattoos! You feel that it vibrates a little but sometimes it is as if she barely touches.
3. Contour - Annika tattoos the contours directly so that you can see the shape properly even if what you painted disappears or if you get swollen.
4. New anesthesia - Annika puts on new anesthesia all the time, so that the area stays anesthetized.
5. Tattoo - Exakt hur man går tillväga sen är lite beroende på vad kunden önskar för resultat, på mig tror jag hon använde en färg för konturen, som hon sedan skuggar inåt, sedan en highlighter i mitten av läpparna, och till sist en mellanfärg också så att övergången blir fin. Men man kan t.ex. tatuera hela läpparna eller strunta i highlighter och bara göra intonad kontur. För eftersom jag hade en kontur sedan tidigare och ville göra läpparna större, så var hon tvungen att “tatuera bort” den tidigare konturen.
6. Clear - When it is ready, you get an ointment to take home, which you should lubricate at home. The color is then much darker than the end result.
7. Immediately after - The anesthesia releases after a while and then you start to feel that it is a little tender. After a while, the mouth becomes quite stiff and the skin feels a little hard.
8. At night - The first night and the day after, the lips can liquefy a little, I woke up last night and thought I was drooling, but on some the lips can liquefy quite a lot, and so it will be for me haha.
9. The days after - When the lips heal, they flake off, it does not hurt at all but it is a little over. You must absolutely not remove the skin yourself.
10. Result - Then when the old skin has disappeared, the new nice lips appear!
This is what I looked like when I got home yesterday:
They're a little uneven now but that's just because I'm swollen.
Idag ser dom ungefär likadana ut fast lite mer “kladdiga”, man ser att huden påbörjat läkningsprocessen men dom har inte börjat flagna än. Jag ska fota varje dag har jag tänkt, så får ni se hur det är när dom läker.
Lips are the only tattoo that is a bit awkward, I think, you are so dependent on your mouth when you talk, eat, laugh, and right now it is so stiff that I do not dare to smile haha.
Förra gången jag gjorde det så jobbade jag i kassan på Länsförsäkringars lunchrestaurang, jag tatuerade en lördag så jag hade precis börjat flagna när när jag började på måndagen. Försökte dölja det med två ton färgat läppglans i början (fast man inte får sminka sig). “Le och låtsas som ingenting” var min melodi haha. Tror inte så många tänkte på det, men man känner ju sig lite lustig :)
Longing until it has healed, then you will see before and after pictures!
Shout out if you have any questions, and I'll answer everything! :)
Hugs ♥

Hi Helena!
So glad I found your blog and saw this post!
I'm only 19 years old and I did a lip tattoo myself 1 month ago. Have not been happy that my lips were so pale and uneven so wanted to do something eat it! But now that the tattoo is done, I'm not really happy, did it at a different salon than where you did. For me, the upper lip was smaller than I wanted and the shape was not exactly as I wanted them (you still want to be 100% happy). So have booked a new time and we will fill in the upper lip. However, I got herpes blisters around the mouth last, which you can easily get if you have a tendency to get it, so it feels hard to have to go through the procedure again! Do you think they have become exactly the way you wanted them to be every time? Feels so scary to go through it all again, found it quite uncomfortable…. But hope they are worth them when the next visit is made!
Then I wonder…
Do you know if there are any risks with lip tattoo?
How long did the color you last last last? And what do they look like when they start to disappear? Are you so afraid that they will look completely crazy if it disappears faster in some places than others for example?
And does your tattoo artist say that you are not allowed to train for 10 days either?
Do you have any tips on how I could explain to my tattoo artist in the best way how I want it so they do not go wrong?
And what tips do you have on how to prepare for the procedure? Type of things you should buy….
Sorry for the long post!
Have a good time!

Hey! Oh how sad not to be satisfied, I was super happy last time and what I can decide already now before healing, I am super happy now with. As for the shape, Annika draws it up together with the customer, and tests a little differently until both are satisfied. But I have understood from others that not all tattooists draw the shape, and that some just go by their own shape and do not go outside the contour? It is certainly very different but Annika is careful to make a shape that both like, and you see that before so there will be no surprises after the treatment.
The healing is a little over and blisters are common, but otherwise there are no risks as long as you go to a good person, and I can only speak for Annika of course because I have no insight into how other tattooists do.
The color has held up great, and I got a tattoo about two and a half years ago. Has disappeared evenly and nicely and a lot is left, so I would not have wanted bigger now so I would not have had to tattoo at all.
No, I have not heard anything about not exercising. Did the person say what the reason is?
My best tip is of course to go to a tattoo artist you trust, so you do not have to think about things like this. But I understand you want to go back because you are not paying full price again (I hope). Draw the shape together, paint a little yourself to show how you intend. And buy home Anti or any such cold sore ointment before. I have not prepared myself with anything else, get a good ointment to lubricate with by Annika and then just lubricate and wait for healing :)
I want to emphasize that I only talk based on how Annika works, I do not know how other tattoo artists do. But Annika, I could give 100% free rein and still trust that the result will be good. It is so important to go to a person you trust, who is both good and thorough.
Good luck! :) Hugs!
Thank you very much for the great answers !!! I hope they are just as good for me. Had it not been for the fact that I get it much cheaper now on the return visit, I would have booked an appointment with your Annika.
Yes she I have said that you should not exercise during the healing time as salt is produced when you sweat and that they cause difficulties for healing and that the color of the lips can then be bleached…
Nice to hear that they heal nicely! Hopefully I will be happy now next time :) thank you again please for super answers!
But god they already look perfect, you will be even nicer when they have healed !! Then I think they are so fun that you thought they were uneven while I myself thought they looked perfect in shape as well but they are probably because you can not do that;) exciting to see the result! How long should they heal? Hug!
Super nice already :) What has she done to you, I think if you should book an appointment. Are they lips with an intonated contour or something more?
Intonad kontur och highlighter :) Det gjorde jag första gången i alla fall, nu fick hon ju tatuera lite mer för att hon “flyttade konturen” och gjorde formen större.
It looks so nice already and I am so curious about the end result. Love posts like this and would love to tattoo makeup myself but can't afford it right now. Annika really seems to be number one in the country on it.
It already looks nice before you have posted before / after pictures. Usch does not hurt even if you may have some kind of anesthesia? It will be exciting to see the pictures :)
Nej inte ont alls! Man är inte så bedövad att man känner noll, men man känner bara att hon rör vid läpparna och att någonting vibrerar, man blir chockad över hur lite det känns. Till och med så att tungspetsen blev lite bedövad :) På vissa områden av läppen tänkte jag “har hon börjat tatuera än?” haha, så lite känns det.
The lips are so sensitive that the anesthetic is very effective, so I would say that the eyebrows felt more, even though it does not hurt that way either. I have done real tattoos and have a very low pain threshold, so I understand what people think of pain when they say tattoo, but it is not possible to compare :)
