Lip tattoo near Gangnam Station: three bookings a day at Lamoon Brow

I take a lot of photos while traveling, and my makeup kept washing off whenever I got near water, so I decided to get a lip tattoo! While looking into places for a lip tattoo near Gangnam Station, I found Lamoon Brow and went to get it done!

For anyone who wants to look glowy even bare-faced, or who has the same worries I did, let me recommend a great spot for lip tattoos! Seeing is believing, so let me show you the before-and-after photos first!

Where is Lamoon Brow near Gangnam Station, and what are its hours?

Lamoon Brow is located at 42 Seocho-daero 78-gil, 4th floor, Unit 412, Seocho-gu, Seoul, about 169m from Exit 5 of Gangnam Station. It's open Monday to Saturday from 11:00 to 21:00, and closed every Sunday.

Lamoon Brow is about a 2-minute walk from Exit 5 of Gangnam Station! It's easy to reach on Line 2 or the Sinbundang Line, so accessibility was great :) Since it's close to Gangnam Station, it's convenient by public transit, and parking is available too — if you're driving, you can use the building's mechanical parking or a nearby lot. I drove there myself and looked into nearby parking lots, so I'll recommend a few at the bottom of the post!

The director, who majored in skin studies, handles everything from consultation to procedure one-on-one, and they only take three appointments a day to maintain quality. It felt like they were fully focused on just one person, which made me trust them even more!

The treatment room was so clean, and there was even a sachet hanging up so a nice scent filled the room the whole time I was lying there. This kind of detail really shows how meticulous they are! I think details matter a lot in lip tattoos, so seeing this small touch of care made me even happier, and I enjoyed the nice scent the whole time.

What is a lip tattoo (lip semi-permanent makeup)?

A lip tattoo, or lip semi-permanent makeup, is a semi-permanent procedure that applies pigment to the lips to enhance their natural color and refine the overall tone and line. It's often done for people whose lip color is faint or dull, whose inner and outer lip colors differ a lot, or whose lip line is asymmetrical.

Rather than creating completely new lips, it's more about applying a color that matches your existing lip color and skin tone to create a natural, healthy-looking flush! My lip color was uneven, and whenever I wore lip products my lip line looked asymmetrical, so I'd just kept worrying about it — but after getting the lip tattoo at Lamoon Brow, all I could think was, I should've done this sooner!! 🥹

🔊 To everyone reading this post: hesitating only delays having lively-looking lips!! Since it's semi-permanent anyway, getting it done sooner seems like the better deal 🤓

Picking a lip color with Lamoon Brow's personal color diagnosis

What I liked most about Lamoon Brow was how thoroughly they do a personal color diagnosis before the procedure!

I'd never had a personal color diagnosis before, and I felt like I got a proper one along with my lip tattoo, which was great!

They first checked which color families suited my face and skin tone, then decided on the treatment color considering my existing lip color too :) They even showed me real before-and-after photos of clients with lips similar to mine, which made it much easier to understand! I brought a lip product I use often so they could check how well it matched — and rather than simply applying the color I wanted as-is, they made sure it would look natural on my face, so I was really, really satisfied with the final lip color!

How Lamoon Brow evened out an asymmetric lip line

Besides correcting my lip color, I was also worried about my lip line looking asymmetrical — they looked at the balance of my whole face while shaping the line, so without feeling like my lip shape had been drastically changed, my original lips looked a bit more defined and even.

The color came out so evenly that the director said I might not even need a retouch. They only recommend retouches to people who actually need them, and never push it! I went straight to an appointment right after the procedure, with no swelling or pain, and got told my lips looked pretty a million times!!

This is the real color, with nothing applied on top!

Does a lip tattoo at Lamoon Brow hurt?

Since lips have thin, sensitive skin, pain was what I worried about most before the procedure! They covered my eyes with a disposable mask, and it genuinely didn't hurt at all — I almost fell asleep early on! They even asked why I was so calm — basically painless! 👍

According to the director, it's easy to feel pain while working between the lip's wrinkles, so it's important to work delicately, making good use of the lip's elasticity. Their hands were fast too, so the procedure never felt long or stuffy — if you've been scared of retouches because of pain before, I think Lamoon Brow is worth considering.

I personally had it done comfortably with no significant pain, but pain levels can vary depending on your lip condition and individual sensitivity, so please keep that in mind :)

Lip tattoo aftercare: what to avoid

After a lip tattoo, it's best not to touch your lips often with your hands or intentionally pick at any flaking skin! While the treated area is settling, avoid activities that can irritate the lips, like swimming or saunas, and I was careful with spicy or hot food and alcohol for a while too :)

Aftercare can vary depending on individual lip condition and the treatment method, so it's best to follow the specific guidance given after your procedure first!

Where to park for Lamoon Brow near Gangnam Station

You can use the mechanical parking on the 1st floor of the building, but for anyone who finds mechanical parking tricky or has other plans nearby and needs to park for longer, here are a few recommendations!

Was the Lamoon Brow lip tattoo in Gangnam worth it?

At Lamoon Brow, they found a color that matched my skin tone and naturally corrected my lip asymmetry too! Most of all, the pain I'd worried about was almost nonexistent, and their hands were quick while the procedure was still done thoroughly, so I could get it done comfortably!

They even gave me an aftercare package like this and explained how to take care of it! They're also super kind, and pretty ☺️ If you're looking into a lip tattoo near Gangnam Station or want to find the lip color that suits your face, I recommend Lamoon Brow, where they carefully guide you starting from a personal color diagnosis!
