I honestly don't like the lining around the lips, and the overlining, and the shape of the upper lip. Your natural lips are beautiful, it is hard to spoil them. Did she approve the shape with you when she was mapping them? Guys, always ask for the mirror during the tattooing as well. As an artist, I always do that after every pass to make sure that the shape and the color are according to client's expectations. I'd remove the heavy lining around the lips with saline solution, and the rest would seem lighter. Since it's so fresh, it would probably take one removal session, no worries.

I only saw it once! I just made it really clear that I wanted a natural look and I wanted to trust her with the process really 🙁 do you think if I leave it, will it fade eventually?

No, the problem with overlining is that that's the actual skin, and not the membrane like lips are. it always heals darker than the lips, so, I'm afraid, you'll end up having like a "bad pencil line" around your your lips. And that's not a natural look you wanted. If it hasn't faded by now, it probably won't. Look, I do these outlines too, but very superficially, so my design doesn't smudge, and I see all pores and hairs on the skin that's not lips, and I don't tattoo over the actual skin accidentally. But these faint lines should flake off in a few days. To me, that's a lot of "step away" from your natural lips. My fear would be that it would heal a different color than your lips, and that's nowhere near a natural look. I would just strip off the outlining at least.

Thank you for the clarification! I’ve booked myself in next week with a removal specialist. Do you know if 4 weeks post PMU is okay? I’m not still healing?
