So, what celebrities have lip tattoos? If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram wondering how celebs like Kim Kardashian or Madison Beer manage to have flawless lips without a smudge of lipstick out of place, the answer might just be lip tattooing. In our Brisbane studio, we’ve seen more clients than ever asking about lip blush tattoo treatments — and often bringing screenshots of their fave celebrity looks.
Lip tattoos aren’t just for the rich and famous anymore. They’ve gone mainstream, thanks to the rise of cosmetic tattooing, social media beauty trends and the fact that busy people (celeb or not) want to look put together with less effort.

Why Celebs Are Choosing Lip Tattooing
The truth is, even Hollywood stars get tired of constant makeup touch-ups. Long filming schedules, live performances and relentless photo shoots make semi-permanent makeup an easy solution. That’s where lip tattooing comes in.
Today’s lip blush tattoo techniques offer:
- A soft, natural tint (no more harsh liner looks from the 90s).
- Results that last 2–4 years.
- Time saved on daily makeup routines.
- Confidence — whether on camera or at brunch.
No wonder searches for lip tattooing have risen 42% globally in 2025 (Beauty Trend Insights Report). In Brisbane’s humid climate, where lipstick melts by midday, it’s not hard to see why locals are joining celebs in booking this treatment.

Myths
- “Lip tattoos look fake.”
Not with today’s techniques. A lip blush tattoo heals to a soft tint, not a block of colour. - “They’re painful.”
With modern numbing creams, most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching. - “They’re only for women.”
Not true — men (including Ryan Gosling, rumoured) have had discreet inner‑lip tattoos. - “You can’t change your mind.”
If needed, laser tattoo removal is available at clinics like Schweiger Dermatology Group or The Tattoo Temple.
Education: From Fans to Professionals
Some fans become so inspired by their results that they take lip tattoo courses themselves. We’ve seen Brisbane clients who, after loving their own lip blush tattoo, have enrolled in a course to become a cosmetic tattoo artist.
Professional lip tattoo courses teach:
- Colour theory for lips (matching undertones).
- Hygiene & safety protocols.
- Numbing agents and aftercare advice.
- Correction techniques, including laser tattoo removal knowledge.
So if you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to learn this,” a lip tattoo course could be the start of a rewarding career.
Brisbane Studio Story
One of our clients brought in a picture of Miley Cyrus’s cheeky inner‑lip tattoo but wasn’t quite ready to commit to hidden ink. We suggested a warm peach lip blush tattoo instead. At her retouch follow up she laughed that her friends thought she’d just found the perfect lipstick — little did they know it was lip tattooing.
