T E S S M A R T I@tesstattoo My TOP tips for Ombré Lip Blush ⬇️ SAVE this post! 📲 Loved this set! Swipe for immediately after and healed 🩵🌈 1️⃣ To avoid the colour healing too grey, I always add a few drops of a darker bright purple or red into the dark brown. This gives the darker areas life so they heal more natural and “real,” instead of flat or dull 🍇🍒 2️⃣ Sometimes adding just a touch of a bright, light coral in the centre draws the eye inward and makes the lips look more 3-D. It creates a subtle glow that pushes the centre forward and the darker edges back. (I didn’t do this for this client, but I often do for others) 🪸 3️⃣ Ombré lips heal best on clients with an even natural lip tone. If the lips are uneven or very dark, this style won’t heal as softly or blended. The tattoo heals based on what you come in with so an even canvas is key 🎨 4️⃣ Layering is everything. I usually work with three main mixtures: one dark for the contour, one light and desaturated for the centre, and one to blend the two. I’ll also add an extra-dark and extra-light shade at the end for depth and contrast ⚫️⚪️ 5️⃣ Less is more. Choosing the right colours matters more than how much ink you put in… overworking the lips causes redness and swelling, which can take away from the ombré effect. The right pigment and less, but proper pigment deposit = better, more natural, true-to-color results with less trauma 🥊 6️⃣ Loosen up your grip on your machine. You’re going to have to do a lot of cross hatching and circular movements as well as use lighter and deeper pressures at certain areas of the lips to get the blend perfect. If you’re too stiff you won’t be able to adjust your technique as quickly 🤙 7️⃣ Ombré lips always need a touchup. Book in advance and prepare to come back to add to the dimension and make it stand out even more! This is a two step process! The healed work in this post is only after 1 session ✌️ Any questions? Let me know below ⬇️ What do you think of these lips? 💭 #tattoo

@adrifemina ❤️❤️❤️ que color es el oscuro???
@hannah_pmu_haus Idk why but it’s easier for me to do the whole lil one shade and then slowly darken the edge and border it’s like a I can see what I’m doing better and it makes it easier to blend.. the I go back over it with the light again in some spots. I swear PMU is exactly like painting at times.
