Aquarelle Lips Tattoo in Melbourne

Aquarelle lips is a contourless lip tattoo: several sheer shades are layered so the lips look naturally tinted, as if you’re wearing a tinted balm. There is no defined outline, which makes it the softest of our lip techniques and a good choice for a first lip tattoo. It takes about 2.5 hours and lasts 1–3 years.

Aquarelle Lip Tattoo Artist

Aquarelle Lip Tattoo Artist

At Face Figurati in Melbourne, I specialise in aquarelle lips — a soft, translucent wash of colour that brightens the lips without a hard outline. I custom-map shape, correct asymmetry, and select EU-compliant pigments to harmonise with your undertone. Technique: airy layering for a velvet-sheer finish; great for pale, cool or uneven tone. Sessions are comfort-managed with sterile single-use cartridges and council-compliant hygiene. Expect an honest consult, test swatch where helpful, clear prep (including antiviral advice if you get cold sores), and straightforward aftercare. A perfecting visit at 6–8 weeks refines saturation and balance. Wake up to healthy-looking lips that read “your colour — but better” and wear beautifully day to night.

All about Aquarelle Lip Tattoo

Aquarelle (watercolour) technique has contourless permanent lip makeup. The peculiarity of the procedure is the use of several pigment shades and the absence of a clear outline. The result is a natural tone, volume and shine.

The procedure carried out in stages:

  1.  Consultation – the artist talks about the peculiarities of the aquarelle technique and answers clients’ questions.
  2.  Sketch – a specialist selects colours and shades and draws areas that need attention.
  3. Pigment injection is performed by micro-injections with the most delicate needle R1. Therefore, since the pigment is injected into the top layer of the skin, the point of tissue injury is minimized. However, the artist recommends not using anesthesia, as this will avoid edema and deformations of the tattoo.
  4. Carrying out the procedure on the lips – after completing the fixation of the sketch, the specialist carries out the freezing procedure using ointments and gels based on lidocaine, which has an anesthetic effect.
  5. Applying the next layer of pigment is a multi-layer procedure. Therefore, after the freezing stage, the master re-injects the paint and can use a different shade.

Aquarelle lip tattoos are carried out with a particular tattooing “pen machine” equipped with the most delicate needle, R1. The puncture depth is individual since the skin is different for everyone. The thickness of the thin skin dermis of lips differs from that of the thick porous skin. Therefore, the exact depth of the puncture injects cannot be said. However, the tattooing artist should add pigment to the upper layer of the dermis. It depends on the practice’s experience and purity whether the master will determine the required puncture depth.

If you’re looking for a way to add a little extra something to your lips, an aquarelle lip tattoo might be the perfect solution. This type of tattooing can give you the look of fuller, more defined lips without the need for fillers or surgery.

 

Aquarelle (watercolour) lip tattooing is a gentle technique that allows you to achieve a stunning visual effect without deep tissue injury. Its benefits include:

Hide minor flaws

Aquarelle shading, like lip blushing, softens and hides small defects in the lip area: scars, asymmetry, cleft lip, and the effects of herpes.

Give your lips volume

Thin lips will visually become more voluminous due to the colour saturation and the shades’ overflow. The effect is visual: the real difference between lip filler and lip tattoo is volume versus colour.

Make your lips shine brighter

The layered lip shading creates a shimmering effect on the lips. Also, Aquarelle gives the impression that a natural-coloured gloss has just been applied to the lips.

Correct the outline

Watercolour tattooing will align the liner lip. Besides, visually raise the corners of the lips. Moreover, make it more transparent and more defined. Likewise, returning swelling and brightness to the lips.

Save on cosmetics

Colour fastness helps you forget about the need to tint your lips periodically and spend less on lipsticks, pencils and glosses. In conclusion, it becomes a good budget-saving.

Since lip tattooing is a cosmetic procedure involving the introduction of pigment by micro-puncturing the upper layers of the skin. Experts recommend taking certain precautions before going to the studio.

In particular, you cannot:

  • Firstly, drink strong alcoholic drinks one day before the procedure.
  • Secondly, eat spicy food three days before the tattoo.
  • Thirdly, if necessary, take a course of anti-herpes drugs before and after the process.
  • Fourthly, for 15 days after the permanent, do not visit baths and saunas. Also, with less sun exposure.
  • Fifth, to do cosmetic procedures, traumatic tissue-scrubs peels one month after tattooing.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that using or combining a particular technique is best discussed when you first visit the studio. Remember that these are just tools to achieve the desired goal, like a permanent lip makeup in aquarelle (watercolour) technique. In conclusion, one cannot ignore the recommendations for the care of permanent makeup and restrictions during the healing process – there are few of them, but they play a decisive role.

Suppose you follow the recommendations of the permanent makeup Artist in Melbourne or Brisbane studio, the Aquarelle (watercolour) lip tattoo will last up to 3 years. This is also a big plus of the procedure. Therefore, we highly recommend booking a free online consultation.
