Kathy Griffin wasn’t expecting how swollen she’d initially be after getting her lips tattooed.
The actress and comedian, 62, recently documented her experience getting her lips tattooed and her eyebrows microbladed in a YouTube video. After getting her lips inked with a blush hue, the star spoke to PEOPLE about the experience, which initially left her lips bright red and swollen.
“I didn’t know it would be that bad,” Griffin tells PEOPLE of the swelling. “I could not stop laughing even though it was painful to laugh for about four days.”
She adds that her husband, marketing executive Randy Bick, was “scared initially but thinks they look incredible!”
Lip blushing, or lip tattooing, is a semi-permanent tattoo that can enhance the color and shape of your lips and give the impression of more fullness, according to the Cleveland Clinic. This is done by depositing color ink into the lips and along the lip line to improve the overall look. The color is typically subtle in order to give natural-looking results.
After seeing the results once the swelling went down, Griffin admits that her practitioner “nailed the color.”
“They did 90% in the first visit and I have one final tuneup in a few weeks,” she says of the process.
