about Freckle tattoos:

Freckle tattoos offer a unique way to enhance your natural beauty, providing a sun-kissed, youthful appearance without the need for sun exposure. Freckle tattoos are great for those seeking low-maintenance beauty routines, as for many of our clients they eliminate or minimize the need for daily makeup application. Additionally, they fade gracefully over time, allowing you to enjoy your freckles without a super long-term commitment. Perfect for any skin tone, freckle tattoos can boost your confidence and help you embrace a fun, carefree aesthetic year round.

Completely bespoke in design and density, our freckle tattoos heal soft and natural, never harsh and stark. They fade slowly over time and will retain their beauty for years to come with regular use of SPF and aftercare compliance.

freckles vs. beauty marks

Beauty marks are typically darker in color and will heal more intense — their size and shape customizable (we even do heart shapes!). Freckles are usually warmer in tone and vary in size and shape.

color

Color is always tailor-made for the client, with the goal to replicate the look of natural freckles. Freckles are more intense upon initial application and will fade during the initial healing process, appearing soft and natural by day 7 - 10. Multiple sessions may be needed to create the desired look. If a maximum number are freckles are desired it is best done over multiple sessions to achieve utmost realism.

Freckles can be color matched and added to existing natural freckles.

freckle faq

  • Do freckle tattoos look natural?

    Absolutely! We customize freckles for each and every client. You can get a super natural look people will think you were born with, or a more noticeable freckle result that is more bold. We specialize in freckle tattoos and have developed a specialized technique using both hand poke and machine methods.

  • How is color chosen?

    Multiple colors are used for each client to create depth and realism, especially in the healed result, which is what matters most! Your unique coloring, undertones and overtones and features are all taken into account when selecting which colors to use. Each of the multiple colors used is a custom blend mixed for each client. No cookie cutter frecks here!

    Feckles are usually naturally warm toned, although more neautral tones freckles can be done as well. They will be especially warm and bold when fresh and will calm down in warm and intensity as they heal.

  • Yep! We offer freckle corrections and do them often. This is something we specialize in!

    Unfortunately, there has been an influx of poorly performed freckle procedures in recent years due to the misperception of freckles being a simple add on service to be performed by anyone. These services have typically been performed by people untrained in freckles and with a misunderstanding of their coloring and structure. This has resulted in quite a great need for freckle corrections. Do keep in mind, corrective work may take more than one session. This is especially true for very deeply placed pigment. If you’re wondering if this is you, shoot us an email!

  • The short answer is no, but depending on your goals you may end up wanting one. Unlike brows, freckle touchups are only necessary if you want to add more depth to your overall healed freckle look, darken the freckles, or add a greater quantity. Doing freckles in multiple sessions can be a great way to get an ultra natural and full freckle look. Touchups are great because we can assess how your skin has taken the pigment and make any necessary adjustments, really dialing in the technique and color choice for you as an individual. The necessity of a touchup all depends on what your end goal is.

  • Your concern is a valid one! Unfortunately there are a lot of these types of freckles floating around on peoples faces these days. This has people worried that all freckle tattoos look like this, but not all freckle tattoos are created equally. Rest assured with the technique we use it is impossible do to get this end result. We often correct this type of look, but never create it.

    If your freckle tattoos look like sad cool tones black heads, we can help! Reach out or book now for a freckle correction. Send photos to hello@alillianbrows.com or upload upon booking.

  • It takes about a week for the initial healing process to be complete, although the exact number of days is determined by how quickly you heal as an individual. This is based on genetics, lifestyle, your health, and any medications you may be on. Full healing is complete between 4 to 8 weeks, but the average time is around six. Younger people tend to heal more quickly.

    After about a week, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what your healed result will be. although it will be slightly lighter than what you’ll see at full healing at 4-8 weeks.

    During the time following that initial healing phase through full healing, your freckles can continue to go through some slight changes as the healing continues below the skin’s surface.

    To make it easy to care for your brows during healing, we send you home with an aftercare kit tailored to your specific skin type and needs.
