“Did I read that right?”, you may be wondering. Oh yes, why yes you did.
Freckle tattoos have taken over, but these aren’t your grandma’s old brow tattoo, deep blue and cockeyed, but in freckle form — oh no. These are hyperrealistic, trending, and the cutest thing you ever did see.
PMU freckles, as they’re often called (PMU- permanent makeup) are fully customized and completely natural micro tattoos, now taking up a sizable share of the cosmetic tattooing world. And as controversial as they may be to some (some people just can’t wrap their mind around tattooing freckles), these semi permanent sprinkles of sun kissed goodness aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Just like any other cosmetic enhancement, made to enhance your natural beauty and boost confidence. If done by a skilled practitioner adept in the art of cosmetic freckle tattoos, they are just as beautiful as any other modality of cosmetic tattooing.
Choose your artist wisely.
Tattooed freckles can be done right, or conversely, quite blackhead like. And that is exactly what you don’t want your tattooed freckles to be akin to. Research your area for artists that offer the service and look for specialists. It’s common practice nowadays for permanent makeup artists, and even traditional tattoo artists, to add freckles as an add on service, essentially “giving it a whirl”, while being completely untrained and uneducated in the technique. It seems that the misconception of freckles being merely dots haphazardly plastered on the face, has rampantly spread. But what they actually are are multi dimensional and layered, made up of various colors of numerous depths and saturations. It is an art in and of itself
Have old freckles you aren’t fond of? At Alillian Tattoo we specialize in the correction and reworking of old freckle tattoos that you wish looked a bit different.
Bold and bright.
It’s completely normal for your new freckles to start out bold and bright, slightly warmer than they’ll be once fully healed. After the initial healing process of about a week, your freckles will soften significantly and will have you looking gorgeously sun kissed and youthful, no matter the time of year.
The fine print.
If done correctly, these fun tattoos will fade slowly overtime without turning into any undesirable tones. Just make sure to follow all aftercare instructions carefully and use SPF once healed for the best results. Expect your fresh freckles to last anywhere from 1-3+ years depending upon lifestyle, health and genetic disposition.
