me and my friend each got lower lip tattoos on saturday and we both woke up today (monday) and they were both gone. is this normal? we did have a few beers the night we got them and the tattoo place said thats the reason they are gone which i think is complete bs…what do you think?

I personally think it was pretty stupid to drink beer the night you got them done, considering you’re not really supposed to drink booze after a tattoo anyways, and especially when it’s in your mouth, I’m considering…..
Just my .02 cents.

Its not BS.Its gone cuz you didn’t do shit for aftercare.

What you should have done was

  • Keep it as dry as you can for the first few days. By keeping it dry you will give it time to heal. You can do this by sticking a bit of paper towel in front of your teeth.
  • At night you can also put some under your tongue and in your cheeks it absorb your spit when you sleep.
  • Avoid alcohols BEER,mouthwash,and so on
  • And simply leave it alone (don’t mess with it like you would if it was a cut the side of your cheek)

Even if you would have been on top of the aftercare it would still need touch ups.

Either way…beer or no beer…lip tattoos take multiple touch-ups for them to stay for any extended period.
