PMU has come a long way in just a few short years! The results are looking more natural and realistic than ever - literally “blurring the lines” between the art of conventional makeup and permanent makeup.

Let’s be honest, tattooing lips can be a major challenge for any artist! Unlike other areas of facial skin such as brows or eyeliner, the lip tissue is actually an active mucous membrane. The surface is less than paper thin and the texture is typically soft, bouncy, and wrinkled.

The lips are also highly sensitive, making it very difficult for the clients to endure the process of tattooing. For ideal results, artists must proceed with ca ..read more
