Freckles | Beauty Marks

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are freckle and beauty mark tattoos?
These are semi-permanent cosmetic tattoos that replicate the look of natural freckles or signature beauty spots. Using a fine tattoo needle, pigment is carefully implanted beneath the skin to achieve a realistic appearance.

How long do they last?
Freckles and beauty marks typically last anywhere from six months to three years. Longevity depends on your skin type, sun exposure, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Optional touch-ups can extend and refresh the look.

Do freckle tattoos hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as light scratching or a slight prickling feeling. A topical numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure to reduce discomfort and ensure a more pleasant experience.

Will they look natural?
Yes. Each design is customized to your features—choosing the right placement, pigment tone, and freckle size to match your desired aesthetic. Whether you want soft sun-kissed freckles or a single iconic beauty mark, we aim for natural-looking results.

What will they look like immediately after?
Right after your appointment, freckles or marks may appear slightly darker, raised, or more defined. This is normal. As your skin heals, the pigment will soften and fade into a natural finish.

Can I wear makeup after the procedure?
You should avoid all makeup on the treated area for at least 7–10 days while healing. Once fully healed, you can resume your normal makeup routine.

Can I get this treatment if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes, though keep in mind that oilier skin types may experience quicker fading or some pigment diffusion. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and discuss what to expect based on your skin type.

Can I choose the placement and style?
Absolutely. Your artist will map out the placement with you before starting. We’ll collaborate to achieve your vision—whether that’s a soft, scattered freckle pattern or a precise beauty mark.

What should I avoid before the appointment?
Avoid applying skincare products that contain acids (AHAs/BHAs/retinols), tanning, or consuming alcohol for 24–72 hours before your session. Arrive with clean skin and no makeup in the treatment area.

Is a touch-up required?
Touch-ups are optional but often recommended after 4-6 weeks to perfect the healed look. Over time, as the pigment fades, you can schedule future sessions to maintain your freckles or let them naturally fade away.
