Freckle tattoo Freckle tattooing is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that uses a traditional microblading pen to create tiny, natural-looking freckles. This service adds a youthful, sun-kissed appearance to your cheeks, nose, and/or forehead — customized to your desired coverage, from a subtle dusting to medium or heavy freckles.
Results typically last 1–2 years, depending on your skin type and aftercare. Pricing varies based on the amount of freckle coverage you choose.

FRECKLE TATTOO
What to expect:
Within minutes after your procedure the flesh around your freckles will swell a bit. Don't worry, this will subside within 2-24 hours. Your freckles will also begin to oxidize and appear darker- this happens when your body forms a scab. The darkness will last for however long it takes for your new tattoo to heal. Some areas will begin to flake around day 3 or 4, and will take about 5-7 days for the remaining dark freckles to flake off completely (this could take longer if you’re a slow healer). DO NOT PICK AT THEM! This is extremely important. Picking at the freckles before they’re ready to flake off on their own will almost always result in pigment loss. Not completely necessary, but you are welcome to book in for a touch up 4-6 weeks later to layer the tones and make them appear even more realistic, or to add more!
Cleanse & Moisturize the area:
Gently clean the area 24 hours after your appointment using a liquid, mild, fragrance free soap using only your hands. Do not use a rag or any other kind of facial cleaning tool/brush– these contain bacteria and can cause infection, and they can cause the scabs to come off before they should which almost always results in pigment loss. Be sure to rinse all of the soap off and then pat dry with a clean dry paper towel. In your aftercare kit, I have provided you with Zensa healing cream to aid in wound healing and help relieve skin inflammations. Apply a light amount to your new tattoo day and night until fully healed (begin using 24 hours after appointment.)
DO NOT apply makeup over your healing freckles.
This will almost always result in either infection, or pigment loss. Skincare/makeup can effect the way that the newly implanted pigment bonds with your skin. Once you see that the freckles have all flaked (you may not notice the flaking, they might just appear lighter) you can apply makeup over them.
DO NOT apply harsh skincare products over your healing freckles.
You will want to wait at least 2 weeks before using any harsh skincare products, and avoid any ingredients that cause photosensitivity because they will cause the freckles to fade even faster than they normally do. Below I will list common ingredients that cause photo sensitivity.
AHA’s & BHA’s (lactic, glycolic, salicylic), Benzoyl Peroxide, Hydroquinone, Retinol & Retinoids, Topical Prescriptions, some Essential Oils (bergamot, bitter orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mandarin leaf), Fruit Enzymes.
AVOID Excessive Sweating/Saunas/Swimming.
Please refrain from any excessive sweating, saunas, or swimming for 3 days after getting your freckle tattoo to ensure proper healing.
Avoid Tanning Beds/ Sun Exposure.
Do not use tanning beds/ avoid sun exposure while you’re actively healing (7-10 days) and limit exposure even after you’re healed. UVA/UVB rays cause tattoos to fade and become discolored. Always use sunscreen on your freckles!
