You’ve heard the expression “beauty is pain” before. Well now, apparently, so are freckles!

That’s right, people are lining up at their neighborhood tattoo shops to take needles to the face in order to get inked with freckles. And honestly, the Internet doesn’t know how to feel about it.

Not so subtle freckles for @slay_whore I'll post a pic in a few weeks once they've settled they'll be slightly lighter. Thanks for the trust and always being down for whatever 🖤

My least fave thing about summer are my freckles. And now the trend is getting freckle tattoos on your face? What is happening? Seriously.

Though the tats seem super intense when they’re first inked on, after a few weeks of healing, the pigment actually fades in with the skin quite nicely.

Here’s a comparison of the freckles immediately after the procedure versus a few months later:

Though makeup artists have been using products like eyeliner or lip liner to create freckled looks, it seems some people want a more permanent solution!
