Lip Tattooing

Lip Tattooing in Cairns – Green Spa and Beauty Centre

At Green Spa and Beauty Centre in Cairns QLD, we offer premium lip tattooing services designed to enhance your natural beauty with long-lasting, smudge-free colour. Whether you’re looking to correct asymmetry, define your lip shape, or enjoy a boost of healthy colour, this treatment delivers seamless results with professional care.

💡 What Is Lip Tattooing?

Lip tattooing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo treatment that enhances the colour, shape, and symmetry of your lips. Using specialised pigments and advanced techniques, we create a soft blush effect or full lip tint that lasts for years – saving you time and boosting your confidence.

👄 Who Is It For?

Lip tattooing is ideal for anyone who:

Has pale or uneven lip tone
Wants fuller-looking lips without injectables
Struggles with makeup smudging or reapplying
Has lip scars or pigment loss
Wants defined lips with natural or bold colour

💎 Why Do We Need It?

Daily lipstick fades. Lip lines blur. Over time, lips lose pigment and structure. Lip tattooing gives you the freedom to wake up with youthful, perfectly tinted lips—every day.
