Luxe Lips By Yani

A little while ago a lovely woman named Yani reached out to me on Instagram. Ever just ‘meet’ someone online and you immediately know you are gonna get along great? Well, this was one of those times.

Yani is a talented cosmetic tattoo artist based in downtown Langley, BC. One of her specialties is Lip Blush, a soft and natural approach to lip tattooing. Lip Blush gives you a subtle and natural flush of colour, the type you might see left behind after a popsicle. The shade is completely customized to be perfect for you and Yani was so attentive to all my needs. I opted for a soft coral pink.

We set up the appointment and a few weeks later I was in her chair. My initial thought was correct because we immediately vibed and she had the sweetest energy. She meticulously started to sketch out my lip line, making sure it was perfectly symmetrical and even helping me balance out my lip shape.

She then slathered my lips in numbing cream and went to work starting with a fine outline before filling in the rest of the lips. The majority of the procedure was pain-free, with only some tender spots by the cupid’s bow. But Yani was super gentle and would re-apply the numbing cream when needed.

The procedure took a total of about 4 hours, but felt shorter thanks to her lovely company. She then sent me on my way with a cute after-care kit containing ointments, care instructions, a portable straw keychain, a lip-shaped icepack and even some sweet treats.

For the next 24 hours my lips were super swollen like a fresh round of lip injections. I used the ice to reduce swelling and applied the ointment religiously to minimize scabbing. I expected the latter to be way worse but aside from feeling dry looked totally fine enough to be seen in public.

6 weeks later my lips were healed and the final colour was revealed. A perfectly peachy pout, exactly like I wanted. I’m thoroughly enjoying waking up in the morning with a lovely flush of colour already present and it looks so beautiful topped with just a bit of clear gloss. I get a bit of lip filler annually and I find it prolongs the plump appearance.

I highly recommend Yani if you are interested in cosmetic tattooing, whether it’s your lips, brows or even eyeliner. She’s truly a master of her craft.
