I got semi-permanent lip blush so I could save time in the morning – instead my face blew up & my pout went crusty
A WOMAN has been left mortified after getting a semi-permanent tattoo on her lips.
Tash took to social media to show how a simple cosmetic procedure can go seriously wrong.
In the clip, Tash showed off her new lips but it wasn’t the result she planned for.
She had gone to get lip blush, which involves gently implanting pigment into the lips to add colour and definition.
It can be used to enhance the natural colour of your lips, or to create a new look altogether.
The procedure is often done so that people can skip lipstick in the morning, making the daily routine that much easier and quicker.
But she was left horrified with her results.
Obviously, getting a tattoo on such a sensitive part of the face will cause a reaction but Tash was not expecting such a dramatic one.
After getting her lips tattooed her entire face had ballooned in size, and that’s not all.
Her lip had tripled in size and had become so crusty as the skin broke apart from the swelling.
Showing off her results, the beauty fan also showed what she looked like prior the treatment.
Her lips and her face looked significantly smaller as she wrote: “Bless her, she had no idea what was coming.”
The clip posted to her TikTok account @tashhhhha2 has since gone viral with over 1.3 million views and 38k likes.
People were quick to share their thoughts and were clearly mortified for Tash.
One person wrote: “I looked like Pete Burns when I had my own done lol hope they go down quickly for you.”
Another commented: “What on earth did they do to you?!”
Which tattoos hurt the most?
Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels.
Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone.
Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain.
Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings.
Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface.
Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful.
Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful.
Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones.
Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes.
Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface.

“Mine did the same! Literally sprinted to the car so no one could see me,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “This happened to me and that’s why 3 years later I’m in 2 minds about getting it done again. The results are beautiful but the embarrassment of the few days swelling is a killer haha.”
“I’m never getting this done ever again,” replied Tash.
“That is wild,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I think your whole face is swollen too.”
