LIP NEUTRALIZATION This is my most asked for color mix & I am completely obsessed 🤩 Truly, these darker, cooler colors will only work on caucasians FITZ 1-2 unless properly NEUTRALIZED FIRST ❕The reason for this is because these types of clients do not have any melanin present in their lips. It is like working on a blank piece of paper, any color you choose will work and will be safe 🥽 If you tattoo cool or dark colors onto clients who profile as fitzpatrick 3+ on the skin tone scale, or those who have melanin in their lips, their melanated areas will go DARKER and the tattoo will heal uneven! 😳😬 When working with melanated lips, we need to take precautions because the "coolness" we see is actually in the area we are tattooing. So the tattoo can blend with the "grey" and "dark areas or the melanin in the lips itself. For lips like these above in the picture, it is crucial you are EDUCATED on color mixes so we can first create the ‘blank canvas’ 📋before going in with the desired color. 🌈 I used some new pigments and a big mix of 4 colors to create this rare mixture.
