Would YOU try the faux freckles trend? In a new beauty treatment, women tattoo beauty marks on their faces

Freckles are so in demand right now that beauty salons are offering to tattoo them on customers’ faces.

A Warsaw beauty salon has gone viral TikTok after posting a video of several women with fake freckles.

The beauty spots – which naturally occur as extra pigment spots under the skin and are also called ephelides – are applied to the customer’s cheeks, nose and forehead.

The semi-permanent tattoos have become popular lately as people turn what was once seen as a mistake into something to be celebrated. But while some people like the art, others asked if it was a “joke.”

Tattoo artist Mary Wicijowska posted the short clip and asked her fans, “What do you think?”

Clearly proud of her work, she unveiled a compilation of clips featuring seven women who had recently been inked.

While some people’s freckles were sparsely placed around their faces, others appeared to have a concentration of freckle tattoos around the center, just below their eyes.

Although the tattoos initially appear bright red, they eventually transition to a more subdued color, giving them a natural look.

After some people questioned the trend, Mary explained in another video that she used a special ink to create the fake freckles so they would only last “two to three years.” She also took the time to answer questions about the process.

She said, “Guys, you need to relax. These fake freckles – tattoo freckles – won’t stay on our faces forever.

‘The ink I use will fade within two to three years, depending on your skin and how you care for it.

‘We’re not going to live to be 80 with freckles, okay. This is no ordinary ink. As if I have tattoos myself. This is not the same ink.

“And it’s not going to be blue, purple, red, green or any of those things, okay.”

She hinted that the tattoos looked more natural over time.

Using herself as an example, she tilted her face towards the camera to give viewers a detailed view of her own fake freckles, which she said were first created “over two and a half years ago.”

The freckles were barely visible and had turned pale gray/pink in color, leaving no indication that they were artificial.

“They don’t turn green,” she continued. ‘And they look super cute. Come on, relax’.

One viewer said they were ‘happy’ with the trend: ‘It’s weird because I’ve always thought of freckles as blemishes that made my skin look patchy and look bad when I tan. I’m glad to know it’s a trend now.’

Another called it ‘cute’: ‘Thank God I went to the healed people after that because now I think they’re cute.’

“I was bullied because of my freckles and now some people have freckles tattoos???” asked another.

“Is this really a joke?” asked another.

Meanwhile, someone else said: ‘It looks like severe acne’.

The video has since been viewed a whopping 25 million times and generated more than 14,000 comments.

The news comes after a woman revealed she has freckles tattooed on her nose and cheeks, which last all year round.

Although Paula Jones has natural freckles, she misses them as they fade in the winter and that’s why she was inspired to get them filled in.

‘Growing up with red hair and freckles I faced a bit of bullying, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve embraced both, especially my freckles,’ says Paula, 33, who works in the hospitality industry and lives in Manchester. her two children, aged 11 and two.

‘But they are only visible for a few months of the year, then they fade away, which makes me feel much less confident.’

Paula has had her blonde eyebrows tattooed with semi-permanent make-up since she was 21. So she reasoned that surely someone had to offer freckle tattoos.

She insists she wasn’t concerned about the risks of tattooing the sensitive skin of her face.

“If I didn’t like them, the worst case scenario would be that they would fade away after a year or two,” she says.

Luckily, she loved the results and said she couldn’t live without it.
