Why doesn't Radiant Ink offer microblading anymore?

Microblading has been popular for years, but it's not the best option for most people. In fact, only 25% of clients are ideal candidates. It’s not great for oily skin, mature skin, or deeper skin tones—and can lead to trauma, fading, and color changes like blue or ashy brows over time. Microblading also causes more skin trauma and scarring, requires more maintenance, and often blurs into a powder brow anyway. That’s why I offer Nano Brows instead—no cutting, less trauma, and longer-lasting results.

What are ombre brows?

Ombre brows, also called powdered brows, create a soft, gradient effect using shading. This technique starts lighter at the front of the brow and gets darker toward the tail, giving a natural, filled-in look. Unlike microblading, ombre brows use a tattoo machine to softly shade the entire brow, which results in better pigment retention and longer-lasting results.

Nano brows use a PMU machine with a fine needle (around 0.18mm) to create ultra-precise hair-like strokes. Unlike microblading, nano brows don’t cut the skin, making them more gentle and ideal for clients with sensitive, oily, or mature skin. They're perfect for filling sparse brows and last longer due to better pigment retention.

Things not to do after a PMU brow service

For 14+ days after your PMU procedure, avoid sun exposure, sweating, getting brows wet, and using makeup or skincare on the area. Also avoid saunas, pools, massages, and exfoliants. Don’t touch or scratch the brows. After day 14, resume most activities, but avoid chemical peels or laser treatments near the brow area until fully healed.

Lip Blushing Myths Debunked: What You Really Need To Know Before Booking

Always Wanted to Do It, But Haven’t Pulled the Trigger?

💋 “I’ve always wanted to get my lips done, but…”

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. Many clients dream of waking up with naturally tinted, even lips — but hesitate because of the myths they’ve heard. At Radiant Ink, we’re here to set the record straight.

Myth #1: Lip Blushing Hurts

Truth: With strong topical numbing, most clients feel only mild scratching or pressure. The process is much more comfortable than people expect.

Myth #2: Your Lips Will Look Too Bold

Truth: Immediately after treatment, lips appear brighter — that’s normal! As healing progresses, the color softens and settles into a natural tint that fits your skin tone.

Myth #3: It’s Only for People Who Want Bold Lipstick

Truth: Lip Blushing is customizable. You can choose a soft, natural wash of color or go for our signature “Lipstick Look” — bold, defined, and long-lasting.

Myth #4: Healing Takes Forever

Truth: Lips actually heal surprisingly quickly! Most clients go through about 5 days of light peeling or scabbing. After that, the magic starts — around weeks 3–4, your color will begin to bloom into its final shade. 🌸 By 6 weeks, you’ll see the full, beautiful results.

Myth #5: Lip Blushing Doesn’t Last

Truth: Lip Blushing typically lasts 2–3 years. A touchup every couple of years keeps the color fresh and vibrant.

Why Clients Love Lip Blushing at Radiant Ink

• Evens out faded or uneven lip tone.

• Restores color lost with age or scarring.

• Saves time — wake up with color every day.

• Our “Lipstick Look” technique uses larger needle configurations for longer-lasting, fuller coverage with less trauma.

FAQ: Lip Blushing Basics

Q: Does Lip Blushing hurt?

We apply a strong numbing agent. Most clients report only mild discomfort.

Q: Can I still wear lipstick?

Yes! Lip Blushing enhances your natural base color, but you can still layer lipstick on top.

Q: How many sessions will I need?

Usually two — your initial appointment and a touchup 6–8 weeks later.

Q: Who is it for?

Anyone who wants more defined, even, or colorful lips — from subtle to bold.

Conclusion: Ready to Bloom?

If you’ve been hesitating because of myths, now you know the truth: Lip Blushing is safe, customizable, and heals more quickly than you think. The results? Beautiful, effortless color that blooms into your lips and lasts for years.
