Contour lip tattoo with shading is a type of lip tattoo that implies a smoother, “blurred” effect, gradually moving from clear outlines to the lips’ own shade.
In the case of lip contour tattooing with shading, the pigment fills the entire area of the lips or part of them, usually from 1/3 to half. The outlining can be done by a master using either a natural or a more saturated tone - thanks to subsequent shading, such a tattoo will look gentle and natural.
Shading the contour of the lips combines the features of two diametrically opposed tattoo techniques. This allows you to give your lips both clear, noticeable outlines and make the contour line smoother. The final result looks natural and balanced. In this case, the soft pigment acts as a transitional lip, filling the gap between the expressive contour and the natural tone of the lips.
The degree of shading depends on the desired effect. Partial shading is used to slightly correct natural imperfections and emphasize the natural lines and features of the face. Filling the entire area of the lips in combination with an expressive contour allows you to hide asymmetry, pigmentation defects and other imperfections in appearance.
