The Treatment

Cosmetic freckles

Freckle tattoos, also known as cosmetic freckles, are a cosmetic tattooing procedure that involves tattooing small shapes on the face to create the appearance of natural freckles. Using a tattoo machine, the artist will deposit pigment into the skin, creating small, natural-looking freckles that blend in with the individual’s skin tone and complexion.

Freckle tattoos can be done in a variety of colors and sizes, depending on the individual’s preference and desired outcome. The procedure is typically performed for individuals who want to enhance their natural beauty or those who have lost freckles due to aging or other factors.

Beauty Marks

A unique focal point

A beauty mark tattoo is a cosmetic tattoo that involves creating a small, natural-looking mark on the face. This procedure is typically performed for individuals who want to create a focal point on their face or add a unique touch to their appearance.

It is important to note that, like any tattoo, freckle & beauty mark tattoos are semi-permanent and may require touch-ups over time to maintain their appearance.

Before

Before your appointment

  1. 01

    Confirm your appointment

    Double-check the date and time of your appointment and confirm with the studio to avoid any misunderstandings. Being punctual and organized helps you start your PMU journey on the right foot.

  2. 02

    Fill out consent forms

    Have all necessary consent forms filled out before your visit. This saves time during your appointment so you can focus on discussing your desired look with your artist. Please be aware that services may be filmed and used for social media marketing (an additional consent form must be signed).

  3. 03

    Avoid caffeine and alcohol

    In the days leading up to your appointment, avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol. They can thin your blood and increase bleeding during the procedure.

  4. 04

    Hydrate your skin

    Drink plenty of water in the days before your appointment. Well-hydrated skin holds pigment better and gives a more even color payoff.

  5. 05

    Avoid retinol products

    Retinol increases skin sensitivity and thins the skin, making it more prone to bleeding. Avoid retinol on the treatment area for at least one week before your appointment.

  6. 06

    Get a good night’s sleep

    Being well-rested helps you feel more comfortable during the procedure and promotes better healing afterward.

  7. 07

    Communicate clearly with your artist

    Think about the look you want beforehand and be ready to share your expectations, preferences and any concerns, so you and your artist are on the same page.

Comfort

Does it hurt?

This is one of the top questions we get: does permanent makeup hurt? The short answer is no. Clients are always pleasantly surprised to find it is not nearly as painful as they imagined, because we use a medical-grade numbing cream.

Our numbing cream combines three ingredients — lidocaine, benzocaine and tetracaine — for a very strong numbing effect. Some clients feel slightly uncomfortable with the “scratching” sensation or sound, but most are surprised by how little they feel, and some even fall asleep during their appointment.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

We change people’s lives.

Q 01

How long does the procedure take?

Answer

The procedure usually takes between 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the number and size of freckles/beauty marks desired.

Q 02

How long do the tattoos last?

Answer

Freckle tattoos can last anywhere from six months to several years, depending on factors such as skin type and client’s lifestyle.

Q 03

Can freckle tattoos be removed?

Answer

Because freckle tattoos fade & look more natural with time, most clients don’t seek out removal options. However, freckle & beauty mark tattoos can be removed with microneedling, saline tattoo removal, or laser tattoo removal if the client desires.
