When it comes to cosmetic tattoos, we’ve heard of tattooing your brows and even eyeliner, too! However, inking on freckles is a trend that has surprised even the most hardcore beauty addicts.

Essentially, this fad involves adding a smatter of freckles on your nose and cheeks. The aim of this is to look more youthful and cute. Whilst some techniques allow you to permanently tattoo on your freckles, most places offer a semi-permanent option that lasts up to 3 years.

When you first get it done, your freckles may appear swollen for a couple of hours before settling down. Over the next few months, the colour will fade softly to give a more natural look. Thus, it’s important to pick shades that complement your skin tone. Also, keep in mind that a variety of sizes will be used so that your freckles look more authentic.

Although this trend sounds painful, it is refreshing to note that it does not call for flawless skin. Instead, it celebrates the textures and features that most of us are born with. For that reason, we declare this fad to be a winner. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
